Commercial Awesomeness: What can you do to a bear?

The interactive stories on YouTube are not something that can surprise us any more. What's better, there are a heap of perfect examples for creatives that are well done.

But this one is really cool.

To celebrate the back to school time, one of the biggest European brands Tipp-Ex®, which offers correcting products, goes on Youtube with an interactive campaign as funny as surprising.

Video Optimization or SEO for Blended Search

Google Universal SearchIf you're like most bloggers, you probably don't think much about optimizing your online video content. The fact is that less than 20% of all content creators insert keywords into their videos' filenames on their website or blogs, and even fewer use more advanced tactics like writing keyword-rich captions and annotations, or creating online video libraries.

Universal search, or so-called "Blended search," can be seen everywhere. You have noticed it has become increasingly common on major search engines to be displayed videos, images, news stories, maps, and other types of results alongside the standard search results.

Some believe that optimizing video content and thus to take advantage of universal search is by far the easiest way to get a first-page organic ranking on Google. That's why I have put together some really useful tips on video optimization:

Chrome Experiments: Discover the Power of HTML5

Chrome Experiments was launched about an year and a half ago. The idea behind this project was to make the next generation of web applications perform faster in the browser.

Designers and programmers from around the world have used the latest open standards, including HTML5, Canvas, SVG, and more, to create absolutely beautiful and unique experiments. Their work is making the web faster, more fun, and more open, following the same spirit in which Google Chrome was built.

The website now holds more than 100 different demos, most of which are really quite impressive. Blurring the line between technology and art, these experiments definitely deserve your attention. That’s why I have put together a short collection. Enjoy!

Pros and Cons of Advertising On Twitter with Promoted Tweets
