SA Blog Awards 2010 - We're Finalists!
brainwavez.org News
We've also received a second, indirect nomination, in that I'm a finalist in the microblogging category for my Twitter account: @mandyjwatson. Thanks to everyone for your nominating support there, too! We're now on to round two of the SA Blog Awards, and this one's a bit more of a challenge. This year the rules have been changed - instead of it being a democratic "one email address, one vote", it's now "one email address, one vote every 24 hours"! Craziness! If we're going to win this, we need your help (over and over again day after day for the next two-and-a-bit weeks). I've figured out a way to simplify the procedure, so it shouldn't be more than a 30-second dent in your morning until 17 September 2010, when voting closes. Here's what to do:
* Bookmark this news page in your web browser or, if you know how, set it up to open automatically every morning when you open the browser (I know Firefox and Opera support this functionality). [ Copy the link from the address bar above or from here. ] * Open this page every morning and click on the widget graphic above or this link here. * You'll automatically go through to the voting page, and brainwavez.org will already be checked under "Best Post", as will my Twitter account under "The Ogilvy Twitter Microblogger of the Year". Pick any others that you may wish to vote for in other categories. * When you're done, enter your email address in the field at the bottom of the page, type the security code, and hit the "submit" button. * Check your email for the confirmation message. * Look for the confirmation link in the email (this is very important!) - click it (or copy and paste it into your browser if you can't) to make sure that your nomination is confirmed in the system. * Tomorrow, rinse, repeat. (By the way, when they say "24 hours", they mean "24 hours". It's on a timer. It's very annoying. Please be Zen about it!) Thank you! Your support is greatly appreciated! PS: You can follow us on Twitter here!  Speak Your Mind

 It's felt as though Nokia has been stuck in a rut, while other phone manufacturers have been zipping past with fancy features and smart services. The N8 is the phone that Nokia is hoping will change all of that. I've had a sneak peek at what's coming - and here are my first impressions.

 Review: Jane Austen's Fight Club
What do you get when you mash up Jane Austen's Regency-era characters and sensibilities with Fight Club? Well the first rule of fight club is that one never mentions fight club. (But the answer is blood on your lace and scrapes on your knees, of course.)

This animated music short is too good to save for Halloween (although, in our minds, every day is Halloween at brainwavez.org) so I thought I'd post about it to start 2010 with some fun - may it be a reminder that the horrors of 2009 are now in the past and may it be a sign that 2010 will be filled with zombies and kittens! (Preferably at a safe distance if the two are one and the same.)

The marketing campaign for District 9 was one of the most extensive ever seen... if you lived pretty much anywhere but in Africa, where it didn't exist. Simultaneous campaigns were run in the real world, using traditional marketing techniques that included billboards and posters, and online, using social-networking sites and web sites. This article focusses on the real-world campaign, most notably as was seen in key cities in the US in the run-up to the movie's release.
