Hilarious find, thanks, Gual!

Snickers created a way to make bad typers recognise why they were unable to spell correctly. Snikkers Googel worked to bid on misspellings of common search terms. Each time someone misspelled a word (which was probably often, since people generally rely on Google to correct the terms for them) they got tailored ads asking them to “Grab yourself a Snikkers,” because “Yu cant spel properlie wen hungrie.” According to the agency, the campaign reached 500,000 people in three days of launch.
Pretty neat idea!

Here is a freaking cool piece of sciencey goodness for your Friday afternoon!
Self assembly at MIT
The self assembly lab at MIT are composed of designers, scientists and engineers who have been busy working away at inventing self assembly technologies. The self assembly team have been working with other departments such as mechanical engineering, computer science, media lab and architecture.
These guys have been designing specific geometries with specific materials to respond to energy and change state - which can be anything from heat, shaking, gravity, pneumatics, electronics, ANYTHING!
The research and the practise has only become possible with the cross-disciplinary collaborations between designers, scientists and engineers.
Imagine the amazing work we could do by collaborating with other agencies on this level. (If only money wasn’t an issue!)
Amazing stuff! Thanks for the share, Vlad!

It might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I just love this! Okay, so you remember these arcade coin games?
WELL! Intel have created this awesome engagement piece based around this coin machine concept. But with the use of robotics.. Because who doesn’t love robotics?!
Users can connect via Facebook, and be bought into a live streaming environment where a sweet ass robotic arm spells out their name with blocks (share to get an extra block of course!). Users are placed in a queue to push the prize to the end of the dispenser.
Anywho, check it out at https://pushultrabook.intel.com/
Vodafone Power Piñata
Another similar execution that springs to mind is the Vodafone Power Piñata a few years back, where a robotic arm smashes a piñata with different weapons unlocked each day.
Ariel Fashion Shoot
Here’s another great one for Ariel stain removal, where users can connect via Facebook and onlookers can watch the product demo taking place as they walk through Central station in Stockholm.
Loving these experiential/socially interactive tie ins!

My blog has been officially pimped with a huge gay rainbow! This is from a cool side project we’ve been working on at Holler, created off the back of the support of the Oxford Street rainbow crossing in Sydney after Mardi Gras. You can create a rainbow code for your blog or website by typing the URL and pasting the code! Easy peasy.

Here’s a cool new development from Google, which allows users to contribute to their map service! Google Map Maker allows users to add local information such as building outlines, hiking trials, rivers, railways and more to Google Maps.
According to Map Maker program manager Jessica Pfund, users can edit and update anything from historic buildings and streets to agricultural land, the Independent reports.
Contributions made through the browser-based map editor will be reviewed by other users and Google staff, in a system similar to Wikipedia.
Once approved, map amendments will appear on Google Maps, Google Earth and the Maps mobile app.
Have a play! http://www.google.com/mapmaker
Thanks Gual!

This is hilarious. Nice parody of the latest viral sensation - Dove Beauty Sketches. My favourite line - “His eyes were rapey”
Thanks Gual!
Enjoy! And happy Friday. :)

A very interesting read (with examples) on interface usability, and how it can improved with animation. Pasquale convincingly argues that animation isn’t just a tool for visual embellishment, but can help the brain understand cause and effect in an interface.
