And I from my side more than welcome Kenneth to the Blog-Writing-World as it is a colleague of mine that is also completely submerged in the interactive world and I really value his idea's, knowledge and vision. Together we'll also be able to post more targeted e-marketing articles that I know you'll definitely enjoy reading. As I think you should know who you’re getting your stories from I posted a picture of him along (I know he's going to hate me for doing that ;-).

"Hello world"...

Hi there to all "Be.Interactive- readers"! On invitation and as being a colleague of Kris, I will from now on be contributing to his blog.
Starting from the belief that combining forces will make this blog even better ;-)

Enough small talk, let's start of with this Mercedes C-class post.

This site is definitely worth a visit during this weekend when you are just chilled and relaxed. Experience the way in which the new C-class puts you into your optimum state of mind via a series of interactive games. Every game has it's specific colour, emotion and message. I myself especially love the green one as it is a very ingenious though simple game.

A colleague of mine pointed me to the site of Information Architects Japan, they created a new version of their web trends map, again fun to look at and somehow useful if you want to check out what's hot and what's not. I surely like the weather predictions for each trend.

David Pogue from the NY-Times wrote the first review of the Iphone which you can find here. It seems that it keeps all his promises but still with some big weaknesses. The first one is that the phone comes at the moment only with an AT&T subscription, the second is that the battery is sealed in and you can only have a new one if you send it back to apple, the third one is that it doesn’t read any memory card. These are 3 big downsides of the device even though it looks real great and the way you navigate is also very nice (reminds me of another product called Microsoft Surface).
But judge for yourself.

The Cannes Cyber Lions are out of the door. One of the winners of the Grand Prix specially caught my attention, it was the Heidies campaign for Diesel as I blogged earlier about it an thought than it was a real good campaign so it's well deserved. Another well deserved but more obvious one was the campaign for Dove.

The Get The Glass campaign was also one of my favorites the last year and the also performed really well as they got Gold. But every interactive campaign Gold, Silver, Bronze or Grand Prix really worth a look they are all pieces of art and each and every one of them well deserved.

Bavaria launched a new site this week called The Beertour/, and what a site. It's really some nice work, if you don't know you're in a site for a beer brand it looks like you're in a game site, graphically everything looks so good it's incredible.

I found a Web agency with some superb work one of them was a site for the Ford Flex this site specially stroke me as I wrote something some days ago about the new spot of Renault without any presence on the web, well you see in the states they definitely look at it the other way. Now the name of the agency well it's BIG SPACESHIP from Brooklyn, NY. Their work is really worth a look. You'll also find the site for Nike Air Max and this is one of them.

I really got a strange thing and I don't know if I'm the only one having this problem but every time I click on the banner at the bottom of my Windows Live Messenger I get ..... Nothing. Today again I wanted to see the Colgate campaign and the only thing I got was a url that looked like this http://ad.be.doubleclick.net/click%3Bh=v8/357c/3/0/%2a/n%3B111500354%3B0-0%3B0%3B17541700%3B4-234/60%3B21401418/21419308/1%3B%3B~sscs%3D%3fhttp://nl.colgatemaxfresh.be/ and a site that was not really showing. Sure when I look at the url I see that I have to delete the whole first part and just leave the http://nl.colgatemaxfresh.be part but that should not really be normal I guess!!! It's not the first time I got this problem so I find it strange that nobody does anything about it or am I really the only one and do I nag about nothing?????

Common Craft found a great way to explain what's a Wiki or a RSS feed is, even if you're not a dummy this is just great to look at.
