Samsung have gone big with the cute animals with this video for the S8300 Ultratouch phone. I think my favourites are the bunny workout and the chick dancefloor. Oh, and the evil hdgehog. This is the one product video around – so enjoy!

On Thursday, I made my way down to Brighton to talk at an evening seminar ran by use8. It was a combination of talks and a panel, with myself taking part in the panel at the end of the session. Not having prepared too much, much was in response to questions, there’s a lack [...]
A really detailed study from Paul van Veenendaal and Igor Beuker from viralblog.com. It examines how Obama used online media to connect with the voters in a way that has never been seen before and takes a little look at how brands can learn lessons from the campaign. Superb research here.
