The latest digital campaign by Skoda — ‘Made of Meaner Stuff’ by Archibald Ingall Stretton optimises social media and by analysing user’s interaction with Facebook friends, it decides whether they are a lovely or mean person. Users can then get their friends to rate them and the loveliest and meanest of them all, win cars. This is a nice extension of the TV campaign and we think it works a treat. |

With the rise of tablets including the iPad, Samsung
Galaxy, the Blackberry PlayBook (due out later this
year) and rumours of an iPad 2 this summer, apps
and downloads will be bigger than ever this year.
Will a new window for advertising arise in these mediums of internet without limits? We think so. |

LinkedIn‘s tool to visualise your business network looks to be popular. >> InMaps, is an experimental project that creates a visualization of the connections and relationships within your professional world. It is a visual insight into the depth of your connections and who are the influencers within your network. |

This year Facebook is only set to get bigger with the continued use of Open Graph and the recent launch of a new ad format called Sponsored Stories. This new format turns friends’ activities into promoted content (in the right side of your news feed), advertising the places, restaurants and shops they’ve visited. |

| Dailymotion looks set to rival YouTube in 2011 as Orange mobile and broadband owner, France Telecom is in talks to buy 49% of the world’s second largest online video site, for an estimated €58.8m. |

My tip. Try the overnight test.
Always give yourself some distance
from your writing so you can look at
it again with fresh eyes. |
