The Conan Blimp

This is a great use of Foursquare. To promote his upcoming show, Conan O'Brien has launched a blimp and is flying it across the east coast of the US. If you spot it, you can check in to it via Foursquare and get the Conan badge. Awesome fun.

Social Communication Shutdown Nov 1

A nice global nitiative for Autism charities. Can you live without social media for 1 day?

Organised by Sapient Nitro. Check out the list of charity partners here.

From their site "It's a global initiative to raise funds and awareness for autism charities in over 40 countries. People around the world have been challenged to go without Facebook or Twitter, for one day, on 1 November 2010.

In the month leading up to Communication Shutdown (1 October to 1 November) people can make a donation to receive a CHAPP (charity app) which signals shutdown across their networks."

And here is another nice video (im guessing by Studio Breeder) which contains scary clowns, lesbians and pirates but sadly not scary lesbian pirate clowns.
