A friend of mine sent me this recently and I just had to post this. As a lot of people know anything Ed Hardy, or Affliction has been out of style for a few years now, and since MTV’s Jersey Shore put it into real perspective its just awesome to see that night clubs like Republic are just saying no.

Google today launched new service that’s integrated with its Gmail client call “Google Buzz”. The service is an attempt to take away from Facebook and Twitter with the ability to share status updates, geo tagging, share photos, share links and pretty much any other info you can think of. The best part of all is its integrated with Gmail and available on your computer or handheld mobile device.

“

Dubbed Google Buzz, the service allows users to post and browse content from people they regularly communicate with over Gmail in a new stream-like interface. People can choose to follow content from other Google users and Google tries to figure out what’s relevant, surfacing some updates directly into a users’ inbox. People can consume the stream of information through a left hand menu under a user’s inbox. Beginning soon, they will also be able to post and view updates from Google’s mobile Web site or Buzz mobile software application.

Todd Jackson, the product manager for Buzz, described the service as “a new world inside of Gmail.” “There has always been a giant social network beneath Gmail,” he said.

The service borrows features from a variety of social media sites; whether it can stand out and fill a new need remains unclear. Like Facebook, Buzz allows people to post content publicly or privately and comment on posts. It also allows users to “follow” others, a model popularized by Twitter.”

I came across this video and just had to post it. Porsche does an awesome job of connecting with your emotions on this one. There is a part at the end of the commercial where the narrator says something along the lines of “Theirs the moment you know you want one, theirs the moment you first own one, and for the truly afflicted there is the decade or two that past in between.”  Im at the point of I know I want to own one, but not lucky enought to be at the point of first owning one.

Check out the video after the jump.

I recently was shown this viral video by a friend of mine. I must say even though I absolutely hate Bud Light I love their marketing department as they always come up with new humorist ways to market their products. Check out the video by clicking the read more link.

Recently picked up Crash Proof 2.0 as I have been listening to Peter Schiff a lot on several news stations and even on some youtube clips. He has a very interesting perspective on the current economic crisis and I tend to agree with everything he has said so far in the book. Im about 4 chapters in so Ill be sure to update the post once Im done with book.
