We have decided to take action, and to that end we are responding to SOPA and PIPA with a proposed legislative initiative of our own: the Stop Online Boredom Act (SOBA). [...]

How I feel about being a gamer in our society up until the past year can be summed up in 2 words:  It sucks. I started out gaming at the early age of 5, but soon enough most of my friends gamed in one form or another, it’s the most regular thing in the world, right? A kid playing around with videogames, back then it felt like the most natural thing in the world, but even then I [...]

  In the time that I have been working in social media, I have seen how social media has been used to help launch a company, promote a product or even to help organize a protest. Last week I saw how social media directly impacted an event in my life by making the world that much smaller.

Post written by Shahar Goldfinger This week, I bought myself a birthday present, it was a genuine mint condition Gameboy color full with a night light, a Pokémon blue cartridge, and a cable to connect up to four (!)

Post written by Brian Blondy North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-il loves a spectacle. His personal creation, the Arirang Festival, is the world’s largest public performance, involving some 100,000 performers to an attending audience of usually 1% of that amount.

The performance itself is utterly mind-blowing in scope and design. Make no mistake, marketers can [...]

Post written by Jonah Balfour It used to be that Thanksgiving was a time that you just sat around with your relatives, driving each other crazy and coming to the verge of punching each other. I remember fondly a Thanksgiving that ended with a bread knife wedge vertically in the floor and all of my family taking deep breaths in an effort not to kill each other.
