Roamz: Social media app for the footloose

What do you want to do when roaming? Roamz, a Sydney startup, is trying to second guess this question. At the recent Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco, it unveiled an iPhone app that aggregates real-time social data from Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare about goings-on at nearby places – something founder Jonathan Barouch likens to “”x-ray goggles showing what people are talking about at places nearby.”

One ad… one actor… one-shot sequence… six minutes… that’s smooth!

Sh*t people say in Silicon Valley

You've no doubt heard of the Twitter meme @shitmydadsays. You may have seen Shit People Say on Facebook.

To capitalise on the frighteningly connected nature of the world's largest social network (news source, marketplace, whatever), Coca-Cola Israel has launched, in what seems to have become a trend, another experiential event integrated with Facebook. Combining the vanity of youth with the viral nature of Facebook has proved a marketing hit for the global soft-drinks behemoth. Who'da thunk it!
