Internet Ads That Actually Utilize the Format

Who took my remote control?




It is very rare to see ads that actually use the internet as part of the ad. These links are great examples of what we should be striving for when coming up with ideas that will entertain and inform.

Check this one out for a great example of changing the way a person experiences a YouTube video sample. This one is good too, because it uses references to the internets past and takes a old concept to the next level.

Interesting food for thought, why isn't the advertising on the internet much more interactive and why does it still mimic TV ads?

Very Cool Interactive Jobless Graph

But I still want a job...


It's not often that you actually get to see great interactive information graphics on the net these days. This one has to be up there as one of my favorites. Entertaining, quick access to information and clean graphics.

Check it out for your self.

Google Camera Car in Vancouver

Is that me in Vancouver?



I have been having fun checking out what streets views from the Google Camera Car today. Not all of the streets are mapped out yet and some of the area you would think a "must-have" are missing. Some great time wasting potential is just a click away thanks to our friends at google.

Check out the
snooping shots I was able to grab in 15 minutes.

Pigeon Park where all the cool people hang out. An interesting snoop trick is to take a right or left at a corner where there is no action adn see what's happening later in the day or a couple of days later. With Pigeon Park you get the gang hanging out on on e angle and then the gang getting food handouts on the other.

Blenz at corner of Cambie and Broadway. If you like loud music and coffee this is the coffee-shop for you.
