Entertainment Weekly in the US has put the first video in a print magazine. The video player includes an advert for Pepsi Max and trailers The Big Bang Theory on CBS.

Last Thursday I went to the 2nd Annual Media Content World Summit in London, run by Joseph De Villiers at TechnoSummits. I tried my best to live tweet!

You can then create playlists and share them with your friends. Jed shared his Electro mix earlier, and here is my Rock through the ages playlist.

Basically it is pretty awesome!

I went along to Oxford Twestival #oxtwestival last night at The Cape of Good Hope pub on Magdalen round about. Organised by @Jake, @colinmercer and @sylwiapresley.

Twestival: Thursday 12th February 2009

23 Jan 2009 16:30 No comments


On February the 12th, 100+ cities will be hosting their own Twestival!

From the social media release:

"The global event, described as "a 'tweet-up' with a social conscience", will be raising money to support charity: water, a not-for-profit bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations."



As I am from the shire, I will be attending OxTwestival in Oxford. You can sign up here http://twtvite.com/lmkbt0



Remember, the main reason behind this is to raise money to give people in the less developed world clean drinking water!

The new advert from T-Mobile was shared with me on Twitter by Kryten from Red Dwarf...

Official blurb from T-Mobile Dance on the advert developed by Saatchi & Saatchi:

"At 11 o'clock on Thursday 15 January around 350 people broke into a choreographed dance routine in London's Liverpool Street Station for the shooting of a new advertising campaign by T-Mobile."



Life's for sharing has a cool YouTube page too - http://uk.youtube.com/user/lifesforsharing.
