Just an all-around list of good content online.

Funny selection. Looks like if it's for sale in Japan, it's probably available in a vending machine.

Interesting debate on how brands are using twitter. The important thing is that brands must maintain the conversation if they are going to participate.

Some interesting stats on social networking and mobile. While the total base of mobile social networking users will remain under 20% by 2012, eMarketer believes "that these users will have a disproportionate impact on marketing, media and mobile communications because creating and sharing digital content (user-generated and professional) forms much of the social networking experience."

Good interview with Chris Swain who is co-founder and director of the EA Game Innovation Lab. The purpose of the lab is to explore new uses of games and interactive media. It's clear that games make powerful connections with people however the uses are traditionally for entertainment and for very narrow, action-oriented kinds of play experiences and they are are working to broaden conventional wisdom about what games are and can be.

Interesting, but his 'advertising career' sounds harder to manage than mine.

Bizarre blur between virtual and reality. I'm just curious why they didn't 'virtually' arrest him.

Interesting study that counters some earlier evidence about the Web's impact on behavior.

While this is a study of 24 55-76 year olds, I'm curious what age has to do with the Web igniting brain wave activity.

Funny set of animated gifs. These look 50s retro to me, probably how they tap into an iconic movement and beat it over and over.

Interesting that Dr. Oz has distribution, but it makes sense since he's part of Oprah's network. Definitely shows that audiences are interested in health and health topics.
