Here's a nice short film offering a snapshot of the Scottish marketing and digital landscape.

Grounded in common-sense and realism Stewart from w00tonomy and Mark from 60Watt (and thinkhard) obviously know what they are talking about.

Whereas I'm not so sure YouTube knows what it's talking about.

(See what YT considers 'Related Videos' ringed in red below.)

I think Stewart and Mark should instruct their legal advisers without delay.

Jemima at the Guardian put a tweet out asking if anybody had any questions for her upcoming interview with Tom from MySpace.

We answered in our droves so we did:

I think so.

Particularly as Jaiku, which I loved, seemed to go dark, and I *think* stopped allowing new sign ups, pretty much after Google bought it/them.

Twitter is great because it does one thing and one thing only. But it has been unreliable for a while.

And in many respects Twitter is limited for me.

Why?

Because it does one thing, and one thing only. (Now where have I heard that before?)

I like the way that friendfeed allows me to keep tabs on all my friends and acquaintances on one streaming, updating, ever-changing page.  (And because of the brilliant 'imaginary' feature, my friends don't even have to subscribe to friendfeed for me to keep up with them.)

It took me a little bit of getting round it's features and tools, but once I'd spent some time with it, I soon got the hang of things.

Helped in no small measure I must add, by these really helpful screencasts from Andy Roberts.

Update: Blimey! Google is smoking this Sunday morn. It's already indexed my post of about an hour ago. Top marks.

Dept of: 'Now where have I seen that before?'.

At coffee morn today, the hyper-connected Chris from Hot Tin Roof told me about this Weezer video on YouTube:

It features all the characters that have appeared in the great and not so great virals of recent times. (See how many you can identify; Chocolate Rain, The Beauty Queen, Britney fan, Mentos, etc, etc etc, are all there.)

I think it's wonderful, as do over 6 million people who have downloaded it.

If you were already aware of it, and it's old news to you, my apologies.

Mmm, I must be getting old. (Oh, actually, I AM old.) Time for my medication.

ps. For some reason it's embed disabled so the links above are through directly to YouTube.

pps. Nicholas Carlson on ValleyWag gives this exhaustive and useful breakdown of all the videos referenced in the Weezer spot.

Here's a nice snappy little film from the developers of Firefox.

It demonstrates some thoughts they have about the Firefox browser for mobile.

I lurve my iPhone and after Monday's WWDC announcement, and O2's recent iPhone info, I suspect we'll have iPod like consumer uptake over the next year or so. Of course we'll also see a gazillion full-screen emulations/rip-offs from other mobile phone companies getting in on the GUI act.

A good thing.

What's more, with the release of the SDK for iPhone and app sales handled through the iTunes store, it looks like a lot of potential overtime is in the offing for all you web and app developers out there. With over 3 billion mobiles in the world there's a heck of a market to be had, dwarfing desktop and laptop use, and indeed with the portability of mobile; usability.

(Kerrrrrrrrrrr-ching!!! methinks)

My pal Rob out in NZ is on a roll this week.

Here's a heads up he sent me about Mahalo's 60 second take of this weeks keynote.

Am I liking this.

A dedicated WWDC channel from twistori.

Thanks for heads up  to MemeStorm.

Rob, my uber connected, far-sighted digital mentor in NZ, just sent me a link to this, the Girl Effect.

I think it's brilliant, and in so many ways.

It's core argument. The script. The animation. All right on the money.

Even the logo is awesome, (reminding me of the similarly inspired FedEx 'arrow' logo design.)

Rob, my friend, sending me this link had made my day. 

And commit not only to 'Pay it forward', but to do my bit for the project.

Starting with this post.
