Playing Super Mario Bros all Wednesday afternoon with my brother on first generation Nintendo … those were the days! Bought my son a Wii for his birthday a month ago and I feel 6 all over again! For the new released game “Wario Land, Shake It!”, Nintendo did something special to Youtube. Nothing new, but you get the idea of the game and how you play it.

I want a Nintendo Wii Fit! Nice viral, over 1MM views on Youtube in 1 week. Read the whole story on Adrants.

Received from a colleague today. Have a look at this !
That’s what I call effective advertising ;)

They once learned me a good viral campaign should contain 3 aspects, in Dutch the 3 G’s (Geil, Grof en Grappig). In English you lose the G’s but just to translate them Sexy, Rude and Funny. Well…these clips certainly have them ;)

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.

A new game called Wii Fit featuring a special “balance board”. With titles like Wii Yoga and Wii Step Aerobics, it might be time to cancel that expensive gym membership…not? The Balance Board Even Measures Your Body Mass Index. Can it get any better…?
