Woody Allen Supercut!

Every Woody Allen stammer from every Woody Allen film. Enjoy! Oh, and this thing is like 40-some minutes long, so you may want to sit back and relax.

Yes, Tilda Swinton is Napping at the MoMA

In case you missed it, Tilda Swinton took a snooze at the MoMA yesterday...in a glass box...next to a video of an elephant playing dead. #Fact #Awesome

This is all part of an ongoing performance piece, called "The Maybe," taking place at random times throughout the year.

Google Maps: Street Ghosts

Street Ghosts is a creative take on Google's "infringement" of privacy as it takes images of people captured on Google's Street View and creates human-scaled posters out of them. These are then plastered onto the buildings - freezing the subjects in reality from where they are forever frozen online. Basically the artist is taking the idea of graffiti tagging to a entirely new level with these I-was-here-esque tags - only for other individuals.

From the artist's statement:

In this project, I exposed the specters of Google’s eternal realm of private, misappropriated data: the bodies of people captured by Google’s Street View cameras, whose ghostly, virtual presence I marked in Street Art fashion at the precise spot in the real world where they were photographed.
Street Ghosts hit some of the most important international Street Art “halls of fame” with low-resolution, human scale posters of people taken from Google Street View. These images do not offer details, but the blurred colors and lines on the posters give a gauzy, spectral aspect to the human figures, unveiling their presence like a digital shadow haunting the real world.

I love it.

How Many B2Bs Out There Use Quora?

I've recently been poking around Quora to see if could be a useful tool in reaching a more professionally focused social media audience. But, I'm still on the fence as to its effectiveness.

In this recent chart on what social media platforms B2B marketers are currently using, Quora is coming in dead last...even behind Tumblr!

While I'm not surprised by the big 3 (LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook) topping the chart, I guess I am a bit surprised at the lack Quora-use. Is it just because the platform isn't very well known? I guess I hadn't really heard of it until a few months ago.

Are there any B2B-ers out there in the social sphere actively utlizing Quora, and what are the results? Good? Bad? Ugly? I'd love to hear. Thanks!

STUDY: How We Use Twitter

A recent study revealed that Twitter is the fastest growing social network in the world. Leaping ahead of Facebook and - surprise - Google +. But, how are people using Twitter?

If you're currently a Twitter user than you know it's not just a sounding board for complaints about work and pictures of babies. I use the platform to share news and information related to my industry and links to content that makes me laugh. That fact that I use Twitter to send and receive news, trends, etc. falls in line w/ the growing number of "passive" users on Twitter - or those who really only "listen." And, that's fine. In my mind, Twitter is one of the best resources for breaking news. Only instead of just listening, I take an active role in the sharing as well.

Here's a chart with the results from the study conducted by GlobalWebIndex:
