Twitter: The Movie
There’s a real movie about Facebook coming out, then there’s this fake movie trailer for a Twitter movie.

Google Buzzed Overload
If texting, Twitter, and Facebook weren’t enough for you ADD mofos, Google drops into the game about 4 years late with Google Buzz.
I checked it out quickly, and it is fairly neat. Again, had it come out a few years ago. As it stands, it’s yet another way to get people not to read all your efforts to tell them what you’re thinking.
What is Google Buzz? Unlike Google Wave, you can actually get your head around it. Oddly enough, it’s very similar to Google Wave. By integrating gmail with google maps, and a twitter-like (non character limit) status update with mobile location finding, you basically will never be able to do anything private again. I found that Google Buzz even had almost my exact street address attached to my Buzz’s..and anyone who searches the local Buzz can find me…and come kill me.
Don’t have much time left for this post, I gotta go Buzz, update my status, tweet, text my friend, and update my LinkedIn that I am about to start laundry.

Domino’s Pizza Reloaded
As a marketing and advertising guy myself, I considered this masterful use of social media. Domino’s executives admitted their pizza sucked, and showed that most people seemed to agree (I didn’t think actually). They retooled their entire recipe (cheese, sauce, crust) and twitter/blog/youtube’d the whole thing. Apparently it wasn’t as successful as I thought since a lot of people didn’t know about it.
In addition, this week, Jonah Goldberg used it as metaphor of what the Republicans should do. Doubtful, but a good idea.
I’d tell the GOP to look not to Reagan in 1980 or Gingrich in 1994, as so many pundits suggest.
I’d look to Domino’s in 2010.
You may have seen the commercials or the YouTube video touting the iconic pizza-delivery chain’s reinvention. But if you haven’t, Domino’s new campaign can be summed up easily enough: “We blew it.”
For one of the most-exciting bowl games ever shown on TV (ironically the Papa John’s Bowl..and I’m definitely kidding) I enjoyed a nice slice or 5 of the new Domino’s recipe. The verdict?
I thought it was pretty good. But, then again, Domino’s was always pretty good in my mind. You can tell a difference in the ingredients..it is much more flavorful, and clearly much worse for you. The crust was the biggest improvement, now with more garlic and spices..and likely an entire stick of butter. It doesn’t move up my rankings any since it was already number two, but it tastes closer to Papa John’s quality now.
I’d say get out and try it, but you really shouldn’t be eating Pizza anyway. Remember that New Year’s resolution?
