The last 24 hours have brought us two very important Microsoft videos. The first is the next ad in the “I’m A PC” series. Not sure who got hired/fired over there, but lately, Microsoft seems to have made some serious changes in their marketing strategies. To put it more simply, they are making good ads.
A Game Changing iPhone Accessory
There is not much preventing me from making an iPhone my next phone. I might wait till the next version, but I am pretty sure I have come to the conclusion, that its hype was and is justified. However, there is still one thing holding me back.
Which One of These Bad Boys is The Next iPhone?
Congrats to Tech N’ Marketing on our 200th post, and what better way to do it then a post about the next generation iPhone? Here are two concepts, one of which might actually be the next iPhone, which by the way is rumored to be released this June.
Modern Technology Summed up in 2.5 Minutes
OK, let me start off by saying that I was on the fence whether to post this video for at least 24 hours. I think it accurately sums up the tech world in a highly humorous video, so after consulting with Aryeh, I decided to post. However, please be careful where you play this, the language is extremely NSFW (not suitable for work).
Great iPhone Video
With all the awesome iPhone videos released by Apple, this one wins, hands down.
FlightTrack Pro – At Last A Useful App
We are approached all the time by people/companies to blog about their products, apps and just about anything relating to technology. I myself do this for Payoneer so understand their good intentions but I need to believe in the product in order to blog about it. This is an open invitation for anyone to pitch us something but we need stories that are interesting and/or relevant to us and our readers. I think that makes sense, agreed?
Itinerary for Barcelona’s Mobile World Congress
With the Mobile World Congress approaching, the list of new mobile innovations just keeps getting longer. There does not seem to be one particular handset that is going to make the most amount of noise, and if there is such a device, it has not been leaked to the press. So I thought I would round up a few of my favorite stories from the last week or so regarding what we will be seeing in Barcelona next week.
Microsoft Finally Gets It Right
Although I have been bashing Microsoft’s newest $300 million “I’m a PC” campaign, they have finally got one right. This is a very cute and convincing ad that is targeted with a very simple and engaging message.
Jerusalem Twestival
Hi All,
I just got my ticket to the Jerusalem Twestival taking place this Thursday February 12, 2009. The event takes place in 180 cities worldwide and raises money for Charity:Water which provides clean drinking water to villages in Africa. There is a 50 shekel donation for the event and you can be sure the money is going to a good cause.
The event will include:
* Real-time broadcasts of various Twitter feeds integrating text, video and photos from our event and events across the globe projected on walls/screens
*Selected Cleantech companies will have tables around the room as part of a “micro-expo”
* We will have additional (fun) activities around the room and outside including an innovative Twitter Bubble Adventure with giant bubbles
*Live music performances from HaMekor, Yitzchok Meir, Noah Lubin.
*Cash wine bar and beer
* “Tweetorials” for attendees to learn to use Twitter in new and different ways, and new users to sign up for Twitter on site.
I recommend everyone come, hang out, have some fun for a good cause, and enjoy the power of Twitter. If you want to meet, make sure to contact me before so I know to look out for you.
Looking forward to seeing you all there,
Aryeh
Some Amazing New Startups
I could not agree with Aryeh more, it was really nice to see all competition put aside for the night and a room full of people, some highly successful, some working on becoming highly successful, there to just try to lend a hand. They had U.S lawyers there to give legal advice on starting a company, they were offering all members of TechAviv office space in various cities to get their company started, and assistance in job placement using TechAviv’s community. It was a truly inspirational night.
Now, down to the details.
TechAviv – A Breath Of Fresh Air
I just got back from a TechAviv meetup of founders and investors at the IDC in Herzliya. Hillel and I were invited as bloggers to cover a little about the event. What is TechAviv?
