Your Website goes social!

Don't ask me how is that possible, read what said Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook’s chief operating officer and look at Connect, the new application launched by Facebook:

“Everyone is looking for ways to make their Web sites more social. They can build their own social capabilities, but what will be more useful for them is building on top of a social system that people are already wedded to.”

Facebook Connect allows its members to log onto other Web sites using their Facebook identification and see their friends’ activities on those sites.
Some others websites like Yahoo and Myspace announced similar programs this year...but, you know, Facebook which is using its own data-sharing technology, is slightly ahead of its rivals...

Mtv Mobile Spot - Ads

Purtroppo, preso dagli impegni di questi giorni, riesco solo ora a caricare gli spot che ero riuscito a farmi consegnare in anteprima.... anyway, ne pubblico qui uno ma trovate gli altri sul sito di MtvMobile o meglio di Fredo (www.fredo.tv), su youtube (ovvio, vero?!) e su MySpace dove Fredo, l'orsetto testimonial di Mtv Mobile ha un proprio spazio.

Che ne pensate? ha fatto bene Mtv a produrre ancora una volta una serie spot divertenti/irriverenti o avreste apprezzato di + il coinvolgimento di testimonial d'eccezione?

In the fiscal year that ends in two weeks, the News Corporation unit that encompasses MySpace will miss its $1 billion revenue target. When the News Corporation announced the projected shortfall in April, several analysts downgraded the company, sending shares down 5 percent.
