P&G Say 'Thanks Moms' at 2010 Olympics

OK so it's slightly cheesy, but I did like this simple advert for P&G's 'Olympic Moms' campaign.

In addition the company has assisted with costs of travel and accomodation to ensure that the mothers of all Olympian's are able to attend the Games and watch their children compete.

How to report the news

This is brilliant.

Charlie Brooker's show might be tucked away in a late-night slot on BBC Four, but now he is a massive internet hit.

A two-minute clip from Newswipe With Charlie Brooker has now gained over a million views on YouTube, just a week after it was first seen on television.

The clip, How To Report The News, is a superb parody of news reporting. Watch and learn.

Using Twitter Search

Commoncraft produce lots of superb, short instructional videos that use paper cut-outs. They have a lighthearted tone, but explain things seriously. They cover subjects "in Plain English" - everything from how to use computer software through to saving money and voting in elections.

The company was founded in 2003 as an online consultancy and started making videos in 2007 with their first video: RSS in Plain English. Since then, they've made educational videos to sell and custom videos for people like Google, Ford and LinkedIn.

I really liked this recent one which shows how to get the best from Twitter Search.
