I saw some of the best advertising in 2008 at the Walker tonight. I wanted to post some of the more memorable ones for those who won’t be attending. You should go and not watch the videos if you are around Minneapolis the next two weeks. Check the listing at the Walker to make sure it is not sold out.
Comment on your favorite.

I feel like this came straight out of my cultural studies class. Over analyzing everyting!
I carried a camera around with me a few days during the last weeks of summer 2008 just for fun. I wanted to show the great views and people who make the city so wonderful. Hope you enjoy.
Google’s philanthropic unit just developed a Flu Trends page. According to their early tests they might be able to report outbreaks up to tens days before the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This could help speed up reaction times. Google does it again.
Google Flu Trends is based on the simple idea that people who are feeling sick will probably turn to the Web for information, typing things like “flu symptoms” or “muscle aches” into Google. The service tracks such queries and charts their ebb and flow, broken down by regions and states.
Nick Rogness lays down a free style spoken word solo over the kitchen classic, “Facebook Book Song.”

There’s no direct link so click on HD Video and then the story “What Makes A Good Leader?”
