Helpful or Hype?
2011-12-01 15:18:00 GE Aviation has put together an advertisement that promotes more than their jet engine business.

Believe the Hype: or Die
2010-11-30 18:52:00 World AIDS day was first established in 1987 by James W. Bunn and Thomas Netter, both of whom were public information officers for the Global Program on AIDS, now known as UNAIDS, at the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland. The aim of the event is to bring awareness to the disease and it's impact on culture, community and compassion. The statistics don't lie. Millions of people die every year from the disease and in order to effectively erase the stigma, the event has been dedicated to communication and to action. However, even with the worldwide effort to keep AIDS in the limelight and communication on the topic relevant, there has been a movement going on for a while that...
Opting Out of the Black Friday Hype
2010-11-19 23:18:00 Between yesterday's post and today, I've received what feels like a zillion Black Friday offers in my inbox. Check out this Google search and you'll see an entire online industry has formed around Black Friday this year. Honestly, the whole thing makes me feel Grinchy. I love stuff, and I LOVE the holidays as much as anybody. But since the BF deals started showing up, approx ten seconds after Halloween, I've been trying to put my finger on what bothers me most about the hype. I think it's this: I like to give a lot of thought to a present, what a person might want or need (my kids tell me I focus to much on the need part,...

How To Create HYPE! – A Lesson From Apple
2010-05-13 16:06:00 Apple makes great designed products. Yes. Thats correct. Apple create hype like no one else. Yes thats correct too. Apples makes magic. Huh? Really? Firstly a disclaimer. Im no apple fanboy. Ive never used an apple product for longer than 10 minutes in my life. I like the designs they come up with but Ive never really been too much of a design appreciator. Im more utility oriented so pardon me if I falter in my analysis. Ever since the launch of the iphone and the Steve jobs speech to launch the same Apple has been doing two things really well. One is they are coming out with minimalistic design oriented products that look sexy. Second and far more important they are creating unimaginable hype around these products. HYPE -- A reason why some bollywood movies are Box office hits even if they suck. And HYPE -- A reason why 1 million iPads get sold in almost a month as well. Well yes I can hear the apple fanboy’s and girls saying ‘Dude! Its the iPad! I mean there is no othe...

Nintendo si sabe hacer hype
2009-09-11 03:14:00 Posiblemente ya han visto la imagen que encabeza este post ya que hizo mucho revuelo por internet y provocó un curioso efecto en la red.La citada imagen corresponde a un poster que se encontraba en una sala privada donde Miyamoto se reunió con periodistas del medio en el E3 de este año. Primero supimos que el proyecto estaba en progreso y se mostró una imagen de calidad pasmosa en la que no se distinguía nada, pero eso le bastó para ser noticia. Días mas tarde circulaba por internet una versión con mucha mas calidad de la imagen, la que esta arriba en concreto. Y no pasó mucho tiempo antes de que se comenzara a conjeturar sobre los significados ocultos en la imagen, que si la chica es un hada o la espada maestra, que porque Link no porta su espada, etc.¿Porqué es importante esto? porque durante varios días se habló de Zelda e incluso blogs no centrados en Nintendo le dieron amplia cobertura a la imagen, como Vidaextra que le dedicó 3 artículos... ¡a una sola imagen!

¿No os empieza a cansar ya tanto hype sobre Firefox?
2008-07-30 12:12:00 Esta semana Mozilla ha presentado la primera alfa de Firefox 3.1. Como siempre que aparece una nueva versión de este navegador, miles de blogs y sitios de noticias de todo el mundo se han hecho eco de su llegada y la han dado a conocer a millones de internautas. Poco ha importado que estemos ante un producto que se encuentra en una fase temprana de desarrollo y que presumiblemente aún tendrá un número considerable de bugs: el hype ha sido el mismo. En los sucesivos meses, conforme vayan apareciendo las siguientes alfas y betas, se volverá a repetir el mismo proceso y, por enésima vez, una infinidad de portales volverán a dedicar sus portadas a hablar de este tema. Ojo, no critico esta ola de adoración masiva hacia Firefox, tan solo la constato. Soy el primero que ha dedicado un montón de posts a las sucesivas versiones que han ido apareciendo del mismo, pero eso no quita que, pensándolo friamente, quizá debamos convenir que estamos exagerando un poquito con este tema, ¿no creéis?....

Hype and exploding futures.
2008-06-05 09:21:00 The Herald Sun this evening:"Taxi drivers turned on each other last night outside a Tullamarine cafe, in what appears to have been a racially charged brawl."A racially charged brawl, you say? Funny, that. The rest of the article tells a slightly different story."It was initially suggested the fight was between Sudanese and Indian drivers."See that? Initially suggested."One driver, a leader in the recent taxi driver protests in Melbourne's CBD, told 3AW radio the disturbance was sparked when an Indian driver attempted to skip the queue.'The Indian driver tried to jump the queue, and one of the Somalian drivers said 'you can't jump the queue, you have to do the right thing, this is wrong', and they started fighting.'"So where does race come into that? The guy tried to skip the queue, someone probably overreacted (maybe he was tired and stressed, it's a hard job) and it's snowballed from there.Channel Nine News said something to the effect of "Drivers say that fights break out ...

Lets Build up some Hype
2008-05-29 01:27:00 It's one thing for any new show on FOX to have a good amount of ratings for a pilot. For continued ratings that stay the same, and grow is what keeps a show on FOX. So far the commercials I've seen for their new show "Fringe" Has pulled me in. I want to know more about it. Those commercials are enough to pull you in, but it's up to the show to keep you coming back every week. Problem is great shows always fail on FOX, or barely skim by with a few episodes into a second season than get canned. Some how I doubt J.J. Abrams would put his name on a show on FOX if he didn't think it would work out. FOX will spend the money on a drama so this show will be good. So I think the more people I can get to watch it, that like it, the more that will come back, and keep the show going. Once I get more information on this show I will pass it along to all of you. The picture you see is courtesy of FOX's website.
