Nike Football Chain

Another part of the Joga Benito campaign.

Starts off with Ronaldinho... then users have created their own videos showing their ball skills, before passing the ball on, out of screen right.

So far only 105 players from 26 countries, and 9mins 11 seconds, but it will grow.

Watch it here

FatBoySlim Competition on MySpace

There's a new FatBoySilm single, That Old Pair of Jeans, with a video featuring some amazing juggling from Chris Bliss.

On FBS's MySpace page they're promoting the video with a competition to make another juggling video to go with the single. Very nice idea, because too may of these competitions only focus on skills like editing, rather than actual manual dexterity. Will be interesting to see the results.

Superman Returns Trailers - Compare and Contrast

Earlier this week the fourth Superman Returns trailer was shown on TV in the US.

Unlike The Da Vinci Code, (or even RV) where trailers show different characters or segments of the film, barring the initial teaser these are all variations on a theme.

Compare and contrast:

iDont - Anti iPod Campaign

iDont

I saw a poster for this on the tube (London Underground, not YouTube...) last night.

It purports to be a campaign to get people to stop being iSheep - to realise that there are alternatives to the iPod.

What it really is is a site for the Sansa e200 MP3 player, which looks remarkably like a you know what.

Interesting idea, but the site takes an age to load, and doesn't allow deep linking - whichever page you go to you get the same URL.

88Slide - Daily Online Video Quizzes

88Slide

A great use of the medium. A daily one minute quiz that you play by text or email. Has Director status on YouTube.

Holland For England

Some kind of crazy viral...

As Gijs in our Dutch offices says "Those guys are dead..."

Edit (8th May) - this is all for Heineken, and there are about ten sites in total including:

Holland for Australia

Holland for USA

& Holland for Germany

Adverlicio.us

Adverlicious - an archive of ads.

Find it at http://adverlicio.us

It's not great - yet. But it'll get better, as more ads are archived. I'm assuming that once on there ads won't get taken down.
