I loved Andy’s quote about
social media’s major value,
simple but on point:
"In addition to be able to

connect with
other professionals..
well that is the value”

Did you grow up watching Annie? Well I did. And clearly, still leaving its mark.
The track ‘I Think I’m Gonna Like It Here’ from the musical was inline with our message of come and meet us (We Know You’r Gonnal like it Here!)  where our low-tech neighborhood served as the backdrop.

Watch clip one first (the original) then our version. Enjoy.

I ran into Jamie at the Affiliate Summit. Among others, Jamie is cocking up a storm in Indigio, running their Affiliate efforts and other online-marketing executions.

It’s not an easy thing to capture why Dlisted.com is such a popular guilty pleasure.
Unless you are Jamie, that was able to express it in three words plus a look.

Ed, E-d, Eeeeeeeeeed!
funny-man, one of the founding fathers of Israeli high-tech, and venture capital industry, inspiring storyteller and most importantly a terrific human being.
I shoot this last month after/before we had lunch in this extra posh restaurant at Tel-Aviv’s old port.

The food was semi-Oi!! But the conversation was a real Oi!! Oi!! Wait for the part in the clip where Ed mention this wonderful quote:
“the older I get the better I used to be”

Ed’s favorite site at that moment in time was: EuroSport.

I met with the folks @ LH, to discusse Virtualization n’ Elastic Compute Cloud as a data collecting methodology on one of their target audiences: the travel industry. The plan is using this information as part of an elaborate email campaign. One of the building blocks of this final execution is a fun video. This video will be used in one of the 5 landing page we are creating.

Production notes: It started by me kidnapping LH’s CEO for three hours of beach-time. As you can imagine, the four of us: him, I, his laptop, and the camera equipment were a bit like a jellyfish in a sea of beautiful bodys n’ relaxation. But, folks were kind.
In situation like this, what gets me excited are those happy accidents that make a-piece work. In this case, we were already half way through the shoot, as we had to move to the other side of the beach. As much as I’m convinced life is all about pain and suffering, I decided to move us, and avoid a trip to the emergency room. A paddle-ball tournament just started way too close to us, and I don’t know if you know this, but people take their ball games very seriously.

At this new location, I discovered a 73-year-old Yogi that starts his days with a two hours session standing on his head. I saw him, feel inLove and at the risk of attracting lots and lots of bad karma, interrupted his practice and asked him if he will be willing to be part of our shoot. Being the generous Yogi that he is, he said yes! Watching him , Mr. CEO and all the human traffic behind them made me think of shooting n’ cutting the clip the way I did. Enjoy.

My last trip to Austin was hectic then usual. With all work and some play, I had very little time to anything else like my beloved nationville usability clips. But as I entered Wilson’s cab on my way to the airport, I know I hit the jackpot. 

Wilson was checking a twitter feed, while in a separate tab replaying to an email, and in another tab changing the track on his web-based radio service.

Delightful!

Online communities always take a special meaning when coupled with political agenda or simply answering a strong need to connect like in the case of the African Diaspora. Kalenjin Online answer those needs with a sense of belonging to its member now residing are all over the planet.
