Over the weekend Foursquare hit 3 Million users. For perspective, that’s just under the population of Montréal! So while many people flurried to find the “off” button in their facebook settings for Places, others continued to sign-up and start unlocking achievements in their everyday lives. Foursquare vs. Places - who will win? With the potential to tap into over 500 million users on facebook —only time will tell.

While you ponder that, here’s a group in Oakland, CA keeping the true spirit of old school foursquare alive and well.

From the Intern Desk: The Medium is the (E)Motion

Wed, 14 Jul 2010 13:51:00 -0400

There are many things that I could write about in this post. A lot of cool stuff happened in the last week, which I could probably go on and on about. But there is one thing that stands out in my mind as the best experience during that time. It wasn’t that I got a chance to ride around town in luxury, or the sweet hookup I got from Roots (both of which were awesome, by the way). It was something much simpler and intangible. It was the feeling I had when I saw a commercial of ours on television one night when I was with my girlfriend’s family. Yes, I have seen many of our print ads and web content “in the wild” since my time here began, but this was the first time I had seen an executed TV campaign that was started and completed since I joined the agency. The commercial was for the Polar Bear Exhibit at the Toronto Zoo, and is titled “Blubber”. And although I wasn’t directly involved with the creative, I still felt connected to the spot, as Sam and Jessica (the other interns) would bounce ideas and copy off me for my opinion and input. There’s really something magical about seeing an idea from beginning to end, especially on the medium of television. Yes, we’ve all seen the numbers of how traditional media (TV included) is on the decline, and how new media is on the rise, but there is a connection with the viewer that I believe can only be truly achieved through this method of communication (at least with good commercials, and at this point in time anyway). So I thought I would share this experience with you, and if you’re in the ad business, you probably can relate to how I felt in that moment.
