May brought us a high-water mark for low behaviour when a creepy carpet cleaner was seen tugging violently at the fabric of decency during Target. May also brought us the 2012 Budget, with all of its hope despair politics. Here are your Kiwi tweets of the month… Grinding our...

Longtime readers (and followers of me on Twitter) know I can’t resist a good YouTube clip, or a good tune. And sometimes I find something that meets both of those drives. cdza create what they call “musical video experiments”, and here’s one called Pianists in Paris...

With lines like “If Twitter raised the character limit from 140 to 200, it would finally allow 90 million German speakers to finish a sentence” and “The world’s 2nd most common lie after “I love you too” is “You have successfully been...

It’s always amusing – and facepalmy – when a song with stupid lyrics makes it to the Top 40. What’s worse is when the lyrics are in equal parts stupid and disrespectful. It’s as if the lyricists don’t have two braincells to rub together. What if we swapped...

This holiday, I went on a social media fast. No Twitter. No Facebook. I wasn’t allowing myself to see anything remotely work-related. I was having a Proper Break. Sounded good in theory, but I didn’t realise just how much I used Twitter to keep up with news, and find alternative...

I think it’s awesome when people re-tell classic stories. I don’t even mind a modern twist or two. How about when one combines two of my favourite things: Amusing YouTube clips and Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice? Yes please! So you know I’m going to love The Lizzie...

Here are the best Kiwi Tweets for April! Twitter was made for tweets like these 1. @AliIkram Elmo talks about himself in the 3rd person a fair bit- may be an arsehole 2. @WriteOnNZ Courier just dropped off a package from Vanuatu complete with Vanuatian pubic hair protruding out from under ...

There’s a video that’s in the beginning stages of viral – and it won’t be too long before it becomes a fully fledged meme. The reason for the viral is partially because the video is very funny, partially because it’s very odd. An Indonesian woman dances in heels...

Recently popular burger company Velvet Burger had their Facebook page deleted without warning.   Facebook have quietly updated their page terms, and if you have a brand page, you’re bound by them. Here’s some of the more unexpected ones, or ones we know people have had pages,...

Video mapping has been around for a while, but never fails to impress me as a fun medium that makes an impression. Samsung have just released a new clip, projecting onto a model’s face and torso, so I figured I’d show you a couple of my favourite video mapping ads. Here’s...

March was the month of the Marmite crisis, some road rules changed, and a Kiwi in London almost got arrested for being in love with his own biceps. Confused? Don’t be: Here are March’s best tweets!   Truth @SpeelyFreaking ‘Lefty loosey, righty tighty’ also works...

Facebook have changed the way you load apps into your Facebook pages, and I spent a long time trying to figure out how to get tabs to display in Timeline. Thanks to Nick McCabe, now I know. And it’s only fair you know, too. Create the webpage to be iframed the same way you always would...

Facebook pages. So easy, anyone could do it, right? Yes. But here’s the rub: There’s actually best practise for pages, and it seems like a lot of people don’t think about them. It’s as if the humans behind the business stop thinking like a Facebook user, and start...

Facebook have recently released revised best practice documents. It gives us a glimpse into how they see the social space, as well as some good tips for both Facebook and general social media strategy. Ranging from tips to organisational structure to audience participation, Facebook have...
