Funny Guy Fieri fake menu-site full of plagiarized twitter jokes.
Welcome to the latest funny-har-har on the intarwebs which is the domain-joke GuysAmericanKitchenAndBar that developer Bryan Mytko bought because GuysAmerican did not. Then they proceeded to fill the menu with tres funny jokes poking fun at Guy's style of cooking. Example:
Deep fried snake with a printed out picture of David Lee Roth stapled on it and a sparkler sticking out of each eye. Served with a side of Bud Light you have to wring out of a Hawaiian shirt.
This was announced on twitter and people applauded, laughed, and sent virtual high-fives to Bryan.
Amnesty International censors your tweets
Has your twitter feed been inundated with black bar-style censored tweets from your advertising friends?
If you haven't already figured it out, it's a new social media initiative promoting freedom of speech and whatnot. Head over to an Amnesty International microsite Tweet Censurado so you can see what your tweet would look like if it had black bars over it.
Interesting awareness concept, I guess. But censorship from governments doesn't look like this. Instead they just block internet access.
If you had partnered with Twitter to 'shut down' for a day to approximate what it really feels like,
More brands compromised on twitter - now it's MTV / BET & it's faked
This is actually getting tedious, but here we go again, now MTV's twitter account has been hacked and it's... awkward. BET has been hacked too. Why, it is as if someone was faking it.
Some say it's been easy password guessing, but here's whet we can say for definite as outsiders: all of these accounts have twitter in common. This makes it Twitters brand issue more than anyone elses.
Hacked Twitter accounts in the past 2 days: @bet, @jeep @mtv @burgerking.Twitter taking a beating in brand reputation.
Jeep on twitter copy-cat hacked: "Just Empty Every Pocket - Sold To Cadillac"
Remember yesterday when Burger King turned into McDonald's on twitter? Well today Jeep is suddenly taken over by scriptkiddies who are basically doing the exact same thing as the Burger King / McD cracking posse. None of these stunts are as funny as when Patrick Carney turned into Justin Bieber on twitter which is the gold standard of twitter-trolling now. I can't help but feel that the @Jeep & @Burgerking identity brand-swapping is a little bit inspired by that and a sudden discovery of a java exploit.
NIVEA UK: A date to remember.
Nivea U.K. presents a totally interactive experience in which you can mess up someones' date. If you don't click on anything it sort of plays out and is silly. If you do click on things it plays out and is silly.
I think the silliest part though is the insane amount of product placement. it's the only thing I'm going to remember. I mean you're watching the ad on the NIVEA's youtube channel, I think you have a grasp of who is selling you something. But just in case you don't, the waiter actually pulls out some Nivea during the pre-roll instructions on how to interact with the site phase.
You know, because waiters are always carrying around body spray and deodorant for women.
It's about as subtle as a hurricane.

Yes bang with friends isn't as anonymous as you thought, and this valentines day I predict many breakups caused by people in relationships finding their significant other using this app. Hoo boy, some people out there are in trouble.

"Listen to help" - raising money for the hearing-impaired via sound on Spotify
Listen to help is a unique Spotify track that aims to raise money for Sound Seekers, a charity dedicated to helping deaf and hearing-impaired people in the developing world.
Click on this spotify link if you have Spotify, the place that as you know pays artists only a fraction of a cent per play, and is thus worse for artists than the big bad music corps of yesteryear everyone wants to stick it to. Indie labels can't really afford being on spotify.
IBM has a tumblr, ibmlr.tumblr
IBM has a tumblr, complete with animated gif's like all the hip ones, it's at ibmblr.tumblr.com. In their tumblr they brag about the little laptop doohickey aka trackpoint, ancient time recording machines, and the Space Shuttle Endeavour’s orbiter avionics are among the many many things that IBM has patents on, and they are all displayed here. The idea is of course to spread the smarts of IBM among the tumblr community, but since nearly everything is headline "IBM was here" and I see no funny cat gifs so I wonder how far it'll spread.

Youtube and Google have money problems
The Guardian has an interesting article in which it explains, kind of, sort of, Google/Youtube's attempts to help record labels make money off their illicit versions of their songs.
Anyone who has ever tried to get unauthorised versions and videos of their music off YouTube knows that filing takedown notices is like playing Whac-a-Mole, as new versions pop up almost immediately. But now, with YouTube's ad partnerships, record labels are discovering a better solution: monetising them.
Note I wrote record labels, not the musicians themselves.
