Is that not a briefing for Google

Origin of the name "Google"From time to time I read or hear stories of the origin of the search engine and company name "Google" that are incorrect, which prompts me to write this brief account, based on my understanding of the genesis of the name. The source of my information is my friends and colleagues from Wing 3B of the Gates Computer Science Building at Stanford University, where Google was born.In 1996, Larry Page and Sergey Brin called their initial search engine "BackRub," named for its analysis of the web's "back links." Larry's office was in room 360 of the Gates CS Building, which he shared with several other graduate students, including Sean Anderson, Tamara Munzner, and Lucas Pereira. In 1997, Larry and his officemates discussed a number of possible new names for the rapidly improving search technology. Sean recalls the final brainstorming session as occurring one day during September of that year.Sean and Larry were in their office, using the whiteboard, trying to think up a good name - something that related to the indexing of an immense amount of data. Sean verbally suggested the word "googolplex," and Larry responded verbally with the shortened form, "googol" (both words refer to specific large numbers). Sean was seated at his computer terminal, so he executed a search of the Internet domain name registry database to see if the newly suggested name was still available for registration and use. Sean is not an infallible speller, and he made the mistake of searching for the name spelled as "google.com," which he found to be available. Larry liked the name, and within hours he took the step of registering the name "google.com" for himself and Sergey (the domain name registration record dates from September 15, 1997).

and it grew...

‣ 3 years after its birth the web grew with a rate of 341,634%

‣ www became the fastest growing protocol ever with the number of hosts doubling yearly

‣ by 2000 there where 304 million people with access

‣ today we have over 1.5 billion

We are seeing a revitalization of society. The frameworks are being redesigned from the bottom up. A new more democratic world is becoming possible.

Michael Hauben 1992: Author of the net and netizens

Welcome to the 21st Century. You are a Netizen (Net Citizen), and you exist as a citizen of the world thanks to the global connectivity that the Net gives you. You consider everyone as your compatriot. You physically live in one country but you are in contact with much of the world via the global computer network. Virtually you live next door to every other single netizen in the world. Geographical separation is replaced by existence in the same virtual space.

However the essence of the web hasn't changed. We still connect to the internet

to retrieve information.

The way we interact with that information has however dramatically evolved.

TBWA\


There are of course teething troubles

‣ 1999 it all went boom!

‣ 5 trillion dollars

‣ A lengthy recession

‣ the survivors had mostly based their business on traditional models (Amazon, eBay etc)

TBWA\


Coming of age

‣ Commerce is working again

‣ Downloads are expected to be free

‣ The internet has become an instrument of lifestyle

‣ Companies think digital more and more from the start

‣ Users today use more time online than any other media

http://www.ninwiki.com/Year_Zero_Research

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_Zero_%28alternate_reality_game%29

In an interview with Kerrang! magazine, Reznor hinted that the album was "part of a bigger picture of a number of things I'm working on."[3] In February 2007 fans discovered that a new Nine Inch Nails tour t-shirt contained highlighted letters that spelled out the words "I am trying to believe".[2] This phrase was registered as a website URL, and soon several related websites were also discovered in the IP range, all describing a dystopian vision of the fictional "year 0000".[2] It was later reported that 42 Entertainment had created these websites to promote Year Zero as part of an alternate reality game.[8]

The Year Zero story takes place in the United States in the year 2022; or "Year 0" according to the American government, being the year that America was reborn. The United States has suffered several major terrorist attacks, and in response the government has seized absolute control on the country and reverted to a Christian fundamentalist theocracy. The government maintains control of the populace through institutions such as the Bureau of Morality and the First Evangelical Church of Plano, as well as increased surveillance and the secret drugging of tap water with a mild sedative. In response to the increasing oppression of the government, several corporate, government, and subversive websites were transported back in time to the present by a group of scientists working clandestinely against the authoritarian government. The websites-from-the-future were sent to the year 2007 to warn the American people of the impending dystopian future and to prevent it from ever forming in the first place.[9]

The Year Zero game consisted of series of websites, phone numbers, e-mails, videos, MP3s, murals, and other media that expanded upon the fictional storyline of the album. Each new piece of media contained various hints and clues to discover the next, relying on fan participation to discover each new facet of the expanding game. Rolling Stone described the fan involvement in this promotion as the "marketing team's dream".[10] Reznor, however, argued that "marketing" was an inaccurate description of the game, and that it was "not some kind of gimmick to get you to buy a record – it IS the art form".[11]

A spectrogram of the noise at the end of "My Violent Heart", one of the tracks on the USB drive found at a concert in Portugal.[12]

Part of this promotional campaign involved USB drives that were left in concert venues for fans to find during Nine Inch Nails' 2007 European tour. During a concert in Lisbon, Portugal, a USB flash drive was found in a bathroom stall containing a high-quality MP3 of the track "My Violent Heart", a song from the then-unreleased album.[12] Another USB drive was found at a concert in Barcelona, Spain, containing the track "Me, I'm Not".[13] Messages found on the drives and tour clothing led to additional websites and images from the game, and the early release of several unheard songs from the album.[14] Following the discovery of the USB drives, the high-quality audio files quickly circulated the internet. Owners of websites hosting the files soon received cease and desist orders from the Recording Industry Association of America, despite Interscope having sactioned the viral campaign and the early release of the tracks.[11][15] Reznor told The Guardian:The USB drive was simply a mechanism of leaking the music and data we wanted out there. The medium of the CD is outdated and irrelevant. It's really painfully obvious what people want – DRM-free music they can do what they want with. If the greedy record industry would embrace that concept I truly think people would pay for music and consume more of it.[14]

On February 22, 2007 a teaser trailer was released through the official Year Zero website. It featured a quick glimpse of a blue road sign that said "I AM TRYING TO BELIEVE", as well as a distorted glimpse of "The Presence" from the album cover. One frame in the teaser led fans to a URL containing the complete album cover.[16] In March, the multitrack audio files of Year Zero's first single, "Survivalism", were released in Garageband format for fan remixing. The multitrack files for "Capital G", "My Violent Heart" and "Me, I'm Not" were released on April 26;[17] "The Beginning of the End", "Vessel" and "God Given" were released on June 12.[18] In response to an early leak of the album, the entire album became available for streaming on Nine Inch Nails' MySpace page on April 10.[19]

HBO VOYEURWebsites & Microsites - Publications & Media

Friday, February 20, 2009HBOvoyeur.com was the online hub of a multi-platform storytelling experience that invited super-fans to engage with the project as a whole. At centre stage was a film made up of interconnected stories within eight apartments of a random urban dwelling. Each apartment was a single-take performance to heighten the effect of window peeping. If users chose to explore the cityscape beyond, they found four new stories featuring other city dwellers. In total, there was over two hours of filmed content, a behind-the-story blog (thestorygetsdeeper.com), six custom soundtracks and downloadable extras including screen savers and video for PCs and mobile devices.

Friday, February 20, 2009CAMPAIGN DESCRIPTION

MINI has made several new advancements designed to reduce its environmental impact and increase its efficiency. On a global scale, MINI wanted us to highlight each of these technologies in a simple, innovative, and of course, efficient way. Hence, MINIMALISM: An efficient and minimal microsite that provides users with a waste-free experience and lets them learn about the MINI in the amount of time they have available, right down to the second. After selecting a feature, users are then treated to a series of different vignettes – ranging from 60 seconds right down to one – that explain these complex technologies using minimal and entertaining animations. That way we don’t waste anything, including people’s time.

NAVIGATION

Just click the little green box to choose a feature. For example, the Auto Start/Stop Function. Now, simply drag the cursor along the time bar to select the desired time. Once that’s done, just click GO. If there’s time to spare, select the 60-second animation. If there isn’t, choose the 30-second version. And for those who feel like their bladder is about to burst, we suggest selecting the one-second version.

Friday, February 20, 2009Brief: Emirates has launched a new route from Dubai to Sao Paulo: the first time any carrier has flown direct from the Middle East to South America. Solution: The non-stop flight between Dubai and Sao Paulo takes 14 hours and 40 minutes. Our idea was to create a character who could talk non-stop about Sao Paulo and Brazil for 14 hours and 40 minutes. Fernando is our hero and talks non-stop for 14 hours and 40 minutes - no cuts, no cheats, no edits. Watch it all or just type in a specific time code to check it's for real
