Is social media a fad?

I’m gonna come back on a video that have been made by Erik Qualman of Socialnomics, I know this video is VERY old as it has been made 6 months ago… but still SO accurate in the demonstration not the figures that are way obsolete by now.

Is social media a fad?
Or is it the biggest shift since the Industrial Revolution? This video details out social media facts and figures that are hard to ignore.

Welcome to the revolution.

Years to reach 50 million users:

If Facebook were a country it will be the world’s 4th largest

24 of the 25 largest newspapers are experiencing record declines in circulation
We no longer search for the news, the news finds us…
In the near future we will no longer search for products and services they will find us via social media
Social Media isn’t a fad, it’s a fundamental shift in the way we communicate
More than 1.5 million pieces of content (web links, news stories, blog posts, notes, photos, etc) are shared on Facebook DAILY
« Is the economy stupid? » James Carville 1992
« It’s a people driven economy stupid » Erik Qualman 2009
Successful companies in social media act more like Dale Carnegie ans less like David Ogilvy
Listening first, selling second
Successful companies in social media act more like party planners, aggregators, and content providers than traditional advertisers
Still think social media is a fad?

Logorama in the Web2.0 storm

A few days ago, I’ve shared with you the fact that the short animated movie: Logorama made by H5, was available in full length online and was a bit surprised as Autour de Minuit (rights owner) always tried to keep it private and I was wondering if they changed their mind. I was in touch with them during LeWeb conference where this video was projected on huge screens on every breaks and I wanted to be able to share it with you, Autour de Minuit, the rights owner told me that mainly for obvious legal reasons they couldn’t and  it was unshareable online.

Actually, after having a brief discussion today with Elsa Chevallier from Autour de Minuit, she just confirmed that this video should not and MUST NOT be shared online for 2 main reasons, first of all it was a copyrighted piece of art made by H5 on their free time and took them a very long time and a lot of hours of hard work to make it, 6 years have been necessary to make that film, but more than that as this video have been made with more than 2,500 logos of the world top brands and that they never asked the right to use them (which was humanly impossible to do it anyway IMO) and more than that, the image of those brands is severly « heckled » so they could be sued by all of them ending in a certain death for that company.

So what’s happening there and why Autour de Minuit might not be able to won this battle against the Web community?
On January 19th, Peter Gabor decided to publish it on Vimeo and spread it on his blog, of course Autour de Minuit shut it down in 48h, but Peter Gabor didn’t only published it on Vimeo he also hosted the original file on his personal website and shared the URL to download it through its Twitter account (I’m not gonna give it to you obviously).

As he publicly shared the URL, a lot of people have downloaded the movie. The result is that some website such as YoungPlanner or BlogOpub put their hands on it and decided to host it on their own website in order to provide it to their community and in the same occasion allow other bloggers to access the code to republish it on their own blog without asking the right owners to do so.

Unfortunatly for Autour de Minuit and H5 that made the clip, they already lost a battle but they’re about to lose the war too, because if it’s not already the case, I’m pretty sure that by the end of the week the full length movie will be available on all the P2P and torrent website, and there is no way that the rights owner get their hands back on controlling the distribution of that movie.

What’s making me sad about this story, despite the fact it’s showing the power of the multitude compared to the single one and remind me the the case of Digg and the blue-ray hacking code, its that piece of art, and I weight my words, was NOT made to be a commercial product in the first place but it was the materialization of an old dream by the H5 company holders. And that some stupid folks seeking for short term online glory might put those artists in a VERY difficult position.

UPDATE: with its Oscar won last night, people are publishing all over the web the full length movie since the past 2 days, that is so lame.

UPDATE 2: If you’re in the USA, UK, Germany and Canada you can find Logorama in full length on iTunes

Logorama, the most amazing movie only made of logos, finally online

Welcome to Logos Angeles,

I’ve discovered this amazing video at LeWeb in December made by H5, and ever since I’ve been looking for it online, I even got in touch with the producers that told me they’ve been tracking unauthorized reproduction online but as I was kind enougth to ask them where and how I could put my hands on it to share it with you, they send me a teaser.

But that was a bit frustrating, so I didn’t do anything, and yesterday I met 2 guys that claimed to be the producers of it, explainning to me that this video have only been made possible on people’s free time and were a bit reluctant to publish it online, but I’ve also learn that they were short-listed for the Oscars and are really hopefull to won the best Short Film (Animated) award this year. Whish them luck, they deserve it!!!

You bet, in this video only made with all the most famous logo brands you ever known of, there is more than 2,500 logos in this 15min video, and it’s nice and beautifull at the beginning and quickly turns in car chasing, hostage crisis, murder, earthquake… all the brand are far far away from their communication habits, that’s what makes it AMAZING. And honnestly if a company ever dare to sue them that’ll be a flagrant proof of uber-noobiness in terms of communication.

Since yesterday someone puts it online in full length (I swear it wasn’t me), I wondering if Autour de Minuit changed their mind about sharing it with the community or not… so watch it and enjoy this pure moment of logos destruction, I don’t know how long it’ll be available: UPDATE: As I though the video have been removed, so I’m really happy to be able to offer the trailer of the famous movie Logorama, Elsa Chevallier of the company Autour de Minuit, granted us the authorization to publish it, many many thanx to her.

Ayé le CriterBlog c’est fini…

Voilà une belle Opé comme je les aime… Rumeur Public a organisée pour Les Arcs le CriterBlog, 20 bloggueurs qui se sont affrontés durant 48h pour remporter le titre de la meilleure équipe à travers une série de compétitions hivernales : Slalom, recherche Arva, Snakegliss, Airboard, Quizz et Biathlon…

img_60031

Prise en charge totale des équipes, avec billets de train, logement, location de matériels, forfaits, déjeuners et dîners, soleil et surtout une super équipe d’encadrement toujours de bonne humeur… car gérer 20 bloggueurs c’est pas forcément très facile… Je pense que certains passagers du wagon nous ont maudis, alors qu’ils auraient du être heureux de nous avoir plutôt que la bande de consultants alcoolo qui ont vidé le bar du train… mais qu’est ce que j’en sais moi, j’ai dormi tout le trajet ;)

img_4544

Ça a été de belle rencontre aussi, une blogueuse lyonnaise qui avait perdu sa langue, des histoires épiques avec une autre qui s’est transformé en brise-glace, ou encore une qui à voulu vérifier que le feu ça brule… que d’aventures, mais surtout de bons moments de rigolade, et une compétition acharnée avec certaines équipes qui nous ont rendu la tâche dures… on a du se battre jusqu’au bout pour gagner.

On rentrent cassés mais heureux de l’expérience, Merci à tous ;)
