Dumbo feather, pass it on – $10=1,000’s smiles

jims-tenner-idea


This is a follow-up to a previous post titled ‘PO Box Stuff #1‘ …
Thanks for all the amazing suggestions as to what to do with the tenner we received in the mail.
After much ado, I decided to run with Magdalene’s idea of spending it on 10 chuppa chups and ‘passing them forward’. At some stage I found myself in a newsagency, bought the chups and then had them in my bag for ages. Eventually they made it out of my bag into a glass on my desk where they sat … and sat … and then gradually disappeared (top left). Rest-assured they eased many a ‘four o’clock lull’ and found good homes/stomachs/tooth cavities.
Then, when it came time to start working on issue 21, I took the note to Jim (Df’s art director) to photograph for our letters page. Next thing I know he’s emailed me with the image top right saying – let’s do this! I love it. Every person who will received that $10 forever and ever will smile … Check your wallets!

What the f**k is social media?

By @mzkagan (and via @malbonnington) is this great primer on social media and why companies need to get serious. Gets a little clunky and preachy towards the end, but otherwise a much-needed case for social media embrace.

Volunteering in social media times

Even without the voiceover, this is a terrific presentation about social media and volunteering. The Made By Many crew (where I’m working) have developed a range of great volunteering websites (for vinspired), but the latest social platform they’re currently building is really out of this world. The presentation is by William Owen (strategy director at MxM).
