"Better Together" is the melancholic tale of a Pea and a Carrot. FWY Studios have created a magical little world where all things that are supposed to be together are. From strawberries and cream, to a fork and knife, to a rabbit and a hat, we watch as these duos make their love connection all over town. The only ones that haven't yet found each other are the main characters, but once they do meet its going to be great. After all, what goes better together than peas and carrots? Enjoy their new spot for Match.Com.

Nuit Blanche explores a fleeting moment between two strangers, revealing their brief connection in a hyper real fantasy, where they are attracted to each other with such magnetism that neither panes of glass nor speeding vehicles can keep them apart. Watch the "Making of" here - vimeo.com/9076775

Look up, what's that? It's a youtube video. Now look at your keyboard, now back at the screen. Now look at the youtube video, press play. Now look at your mouth, it's laughing. Now look at your wallet, it's empty. You just went out and bought all the old spice you could get. I'm on a horse!

Google has just unveiled their new entry into the Social Media Arena with Google Buzz. Google’s philosophy on social media is that it wants buzz to be "the paragon and poster child for creating a social destination in an open environment that adheres to open standards."

The five key features that define Google Buzz are:

  • Auto-following
  • Rich, fast sharing experience
  • Public and private sharing
  • Gmail Inbox integration
  • Just the good stuff

Google buzz will also be accessible via mobile in three ways: from Google Mobile’s website, from Buzz.Google.com (iPhone and Android), and from Google Mobile Maps. Buzz also knows wher you are, figuring out what building you are in and asking you if it’s right. Buzz has voice recognition and posts it right onto your buzz in real-time, while also geotagging all your posts. 

If you want more info, check out the Google Buzz Demo posted above.
