Nokia campaign playing with the idea that half of people’s private life is on their cell phone these days. The whole 2.0 spectrum is used at its full capacity again: 2 youtube video’s, all characters of the campaign have a Facebook page en a flashy site where you can subscribe to be notified when the cell phone unlocks.

Only question now: is it a new Nokia model, or just a buzz campaign?

P.S.: The other half of people’s private life is on Facebook by the way :)

Welcome to the future …

Art2blog is going on holidays for 1 week to Bodrum. We’ll be back on October 4th. In mean time don’t stop reading our favourite colleagues. If you still have some holidays planned, check out Fasten Seatbelts where you can find the “Do’s and Don’ts” of the country you’re visiting.

We will certainly remember that:

• In Turkey, it is rude to show the sole of your shoe.
• In Turkey, the “OK” sign is very rude.
• In Turkey, in crowded busses (Dolmus), the way to pay for your ticket is to pass the money from passenger to passenger towards the bus driver.
• In various countries, you may be asked to remove your shoes before entering a home.

The last few days it has been quiet…well…now you know why. I moved our blog to my own hosting.http://www.art2blog.be is the place to be now…I’ll make some more changes the coming days on the design but all credits go to Design Disease which created this great 3 column wordpress theme. Furthermore you don’t have to change your rss feed address, that stayed the same (http://feeds.feedburner.com/art2blog)!

Hope you enjoy…

Received several mails from contacts to join their social network on the Quechup site. Ignore these! Don’t know what the final plan is, but once you register the engine behind the site proposes to import online contacts from your webmail account like Hotmail, Gmail, … once imported all these get a mail from you inviting to join Quechup again. Pure spam with hopefully no other harmful intentions (viruses?) behind.

Another great viral bij Nokia: jealous computers. It starts to become a tradition. The site shows how jealous laptops attack their owner when he’s using his Nokia N95. it has chocking footage of attacks, testimonials, safety tips and even ringtones to mask the Nokia ringtone … Too bad the mugs are no longer available. Nice work again by These Days: awardelicious as someone mentions on their own blog.

More about this on Soulcreation & Adrants.

Good thing I have a Sony Ericsson k610i, so my brand new Acer Aspire 5920 won’t revolt :)

Some guy -who actually works over at Nokia- makes fun of the iLine in front of the Mac store waiting for the iPhone. Excellent piece …

In a previous post I already blogged about Nokia-tivity. This time they really live up to their tagline “Connecting people”!

2 weeks ago Nokia launched a blog supporting their NSeries called NSights. On the blog some gurus, early adopters, known faces, experts, influencers … share their view on the impact of modern technologies on day-to-day life. Of course bloggers can share their opinion and feed the conversation …

There are different themes for which a video appears online where the experts share their opinion on the impact of new technologies on the related theme. Internet and Music are already online. Subscribe to the RSS to know when the saga continues.

Join the conversation signed Nokia & These Days.

Some great creative stuff from Nokia went on-line last few weeks:

• The Internet Walk: Interactive video illustrating how the Nokia N800 Internet tablet can help you through your day. (Agency: FarFar
• Great Pockets: Promotion of the Nokia N95 multimedia device in a most peculiar way. Tailor Henry Needle & Sons created the “Great Pockets” fashion to support our mobile multimedia lifestyle: a fashion with special pockets just to carry around all digital devices we use on daily basis. No too trendy though, such big pockets. The N95 -a phone, mp3 player, gps, camera and video cam- helps you stay trendy … (Agency: FarFar)
• Nokia l’Amour site: viral site to launch the trendy ”L’Amour collection. Send over some ‘bouquets’ to your wife, mistress, friend, colleague, sister, brother, … You can pick compliments from a list or make them up yourselves … Viral mail pulls you back to the site to send your own ‘bouquets’. Too bad they missed Valentine to launch this … (Agency: These Days)

I guess Nokia, These Days & FarFar have already packed for Cannes Cyber Lions?
