great link, and interesting to see the amplifying effect of of social media in graphical form. also the takeaways from which ads were successful must provide a good reflection on their creative.

Darren,

Quite the interesting post. i know the talk in marketing and advertising has been shifting from main lines to social media, and this post points out nicely that this is certainly heading in the right direction. It is interesting to see how people used Twitter and Technology to respond to commercials…

This is a great discussion that got me thinking about the transparency between people and technology, and how the power that nation wide occurrences reflect on behavior within social communication environments. How twitter has just become a pellucid form of mass expression.

It made me think of the most literal form of this - real environmental occurrences reflecting through social expression, and then I looked outside. Today's Doppler Radar (http://bit.ly/ahbZwa) against a Trendsmap 'snow' search today (http://bit.ly/cuaTZR). They're essentially mirroring each other.

Communication technology is largely becoming this transparent counterpart mapping the reality around us.

It's like a pendulum, the higher you lift the ball on the side of integrated technology, the higher it swings over towards the volume of communication being created. This line between streaming data and reality are blurring more and more each day. It’s only a matter of time before the pendulum ball is raised so high that it swings in full circle- where the web we live in, and the reality we live on, merge to create one seamless database of universal and limitless access.
