Jon Stewart takes on Twitter

The most unbalanced Twitter follow ratio ever.

This is hilarious… look at the followers/following ratio of Brooke Burke’s official Twittter account.

(I had to update this post to reflect the extra 50k followers since I took the original screenshot a few days ago!)

Because it’s Sunday afternoon…

I thought you might need some funny for this Sunday afternoon. And there’s nothing more funny than The Office.

Welcome to Macintosh DVD

A new DVD, Welcome to Macintosh, is coming out soon, covering the Cult of Mac. Looks pretty decent. Description and trailer below.

Welcome to Macintosh” is the first documentary of its kind to mix history, criticism and an unapologetic revelry of all things Apple into a movie experience. The film explores the early years of Apple, the many challenges Apple has faced, and what the future may hold for the company and it’s products. Ex-Apple employees, engineers and community members offer insight on the company’s innovations, failures, cultural impact and what the future may be like beyond the reign of its co-founder Steve Jobs. Interviews include notable Apple personalities Andy Hertzfeld, co-creator of the original Macintosh, Guy Kawasaki, long time Mac evangelist, Leander Kahney, author of the book “Cult of Mac”, Jim Reekes, creator of the Macintosh start-up sound and Ron Wayne, original co-founder of the Apple Computer Company.

Craig Newmark on The Daily Show [VIDEO]

I stumbled across this funny Daily Show clip from Craig Newmark’s appearance. Fun stuff!

Tiger Woods: Joining in the fun

Apparently this is the week of humorous videos that are also smart marketing. I stumbled on a video response that Tiger Woods and EA created as a response to a YouTube poster pointing out that a bug in Tiger Woods ‘08 allows Tiger to walk on water.

Rather than getting angry and lashing out (like far too many companies would have), they used the incident as an opportunity for a little fun and a lot of marketing. Check out the video below. It’s fantastic and smart.

Imagine how much fun work would be if we all had this kind of attitude…

How to use current events for marketing

My buddy Jason Falls just emailed me about a new project that Maker’s Mark has kicked off. Using the election cycle crazy, they’ve launched an effort to promote…. the Cocktail Party. Certainly check out the site, but watch the video below ASAP. Quite amusing.

(Do you recognize anyone in that video?)

Good work, Doe Anderson and Maker’s. I’m crossing my fingers that you’re not done delivering hilarity. More from Jason here.

Will it Blend: Social Technologies

The hits keep right on rolling with the Will it Blend videos. This time Josh Bernoff joins Tom and they have a genius presentation about choosing the right social technology tool(s).
