Just noticed this late today – it wasn’t there in the morning. A new tab above my Google Analytics Dashboard – Advanced Segments, new Beta feature. Well, well, well; isn’t this interesting! So what does it look like?

Do forgive me this brief rant, I just came out of yet another meeting I tried to explain blogging and mcroblogging to corporate types. Exhausting.
For some reason, it seems very difficult for the corporate world to relate to social media. It’s a little like trying to convert a B2B marketer to B2C: whatever they do, they can’t seem to be able to kick the habit of thinking in corporate lingo.
Talking to consumers, to individuals, requires a very different language, a very different tone of voice. Making your message heard in the social media world requires a very similar one, more personal, more genuine. Devoid of ‘framework’ thinking and buzzwords and more genuine. A language which allows the person writing the piece to show through.
The same challenge seems to apply to any effort of converting corporate people to take up Twitter. And I would know, I used to be one of the said corporate crowd. Most of my friends still are.
I think I’ll write a Beginner’s Guide to Twitter one of these days. In an attempt to marry up the two very different worlds. I’ll have to include a few frameworks in there, for the MBA-qualified mob, and a few 140 character pieces of wisdom.
But until I do, I thought I would list a few good resources to get anyone started with writing for social media:
And stay tuned for that Twitter Guide, should have something in about a week’s time.
This was my boss’ idea – and what a great idea it was: if you are growing a Mo, don’t waste your time explaining over and over again why you look like a character from Miami Vice! Hand out your Mo Bro business card and get people to sponsor your Mo.
The file is a print-quality, 89 x 53mm size (plus 1mm bleed), CMYK pdf. It follows the current look of the movember.com websites and features the official Movember logo.

Finally got the time to do these – just some RSS icons in a few different colours and sizes. You can just right-click and save image to your computer. Alternatively there is a link to a zip archive containing all the icons at the bottom of the page.
All the images are transparent png files – they can be used on any background. They do not include a stroke, as you may want to specify one that fits your website in your css file.
As usual, digs would be much appreciated.
Size: 27px by 27px.
Size: 30px by 60px.
Size: 81px by 19px.
Size: 44px by 44px.
Size: 42px by 42px.
If saving them one by one doesn’t strike your fancy, you can download all the one hundred rss icons collection here:

I was searching for a font for a design the other day, and I ended up doing the inevitable: browsing aimlessly through all the fonts on DaFont.com. I came across quite a few cool ones, but I picked 10 new fonts I thought could be quite useful in graphic design.

I’m sure most of you know about this movie, it’s about two years old; still, every time I watch it I’m amazed by the quality of the animation and the beauty of the concept.
The creator is Dony Permedi, a freelance animator based in California who designed and animated the little kiwi bird so desperate to fly for his master thesis in animation, at The School of Visual Arts, New York.
The online success of the kiwi movie was phenomenal, with almost 20 million views on YouTube and a host of fans coming up with different endings, background music, etc. Moreover, it has been screened at some 12 movie festivals, including Cannes; and has got quite a bit of coverage, especially for a student project.
