HE IS BACK"In 2012 David Beckham was on camera for H&M bodywear for the first time. And this year couldn´t start any better because the new underwear campaign with a sexy TV Spot is about to kick off. This ad which was directed by Guy Ritchie begins with misfortune.

The front door was slammed by wind at the same time and he runs after the car to get his clothes back. But bizarrely he is only losing more garments, which for the female audience isnʻt necessarily a bad thing.!Via: http://www.businessinsider.com/david-beckhams-new-underwear-commercial-2013-2 !

TRENDS"

INTERACTIVE DIGITAL SIGHTSEEING"Not everybody has the chance to visit and explore the most impressive places in the world. Therefore Google Earth covered more than 75 miles of the Grand Canyon by Google Street View images that can be explored online. You can take a walk down the narrow trails or even gaze out at the Colorado River, itʻs totally up to you. Itʻs a great idea although the experience and feelings of a visit in reality can never be replaced. Hopefully we will see more wonderful places to explore online soon.!Via: http://www.digitalbuzzblog.com/google-maps-explore-the-grand-canyon/!

THE VEHICLE OF THE FUTURE"This is the new Lit Motors C-1. It is an electric motorcycle which is able to do so much more than any motorbike before and drives more like a car. One of the biggest changes is the amazing balance dynamic because this vehicle can stop in front of a traffic light without tumbling over. These attributes remind people more of a car and not of a motorcycle. It is also very environment- friendly and the perfect alternative for a car in big cities. It should be in production in 2014, so look foward to it!!Via: http://www.getthefive.com/articles/the-idealist/an-electric-motorcycle-that-drives-like-a-car-lit/ !

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO THAT PACKAGE?"Nobody ever really knows if the transportation of a package delivery went well or if the package was damaged during transportation. Therefore this new gadget was developed to understand what occured. The DropTag is stuck to the package before the delivery and monitors whatʻs going on. When the packet arrives the customer is able with the help of the attendant app to see if the package was dropped or harmed in any way. After receiving this information the customer can decide to accept or reject the delivery. There seems to be a trend going on that people want to be in control of the things going on in their lives and get as much information as possible. In the futher we can expect to see more product devices envelopt that will allowed people to stay in control.!Via: http://www.psfk.com/2013/02/track-delivery-packages.html !

INSIGHTS & OPINIONS"

SUPER BOWL POWER OUTAGE WAS A BOOM FOR SOCIAL MEDIA ADVERTISING"35 was the number of the game because these were the minutes how long the power outage was. But these were also the number of minutes for social media advertising with an amazing success. Especially the brands Oreo cookies, Audi, Tide and Calvin Klein took this chance. The consumers were searching on the internet about information what was going on in the stadium but because of hashtags people were redirected on these brand posts. They received more attention on Twitter and Facebook and positive response in general than with all the expansive and overpaid TV spots.!Via: http://www.getthefive.com/articles/the-marketeer/super-bowl-power-outage-was-a-boon-for-advertisers/ !

PEOPLE TAKE A BREAK"Not from their jobs but rather from Facebook. 61% of Facebook users have taken a break from the social network for several weeks or more now. The most people just haven´t got the time for facebook, 10% cited a lack of interest in the content, too much drama was the reason for 9% of users and 4% are scared about their privat data. Maybe facebook needs a few new features to get the peopleʻs attention so that they will take time for the social network. And if not: Your rivals never rest.!Via: http://edition.cnn.com/2013/02/05/tech/social-media/facebook-breaks-pew/index.html#disqus_thread !

TECHNOLOGY & VALENTINEʻS DAY"Valentine´s Day is the day for people in love all over the world. And this is also the big problem about this day, because most women expect a lot from their partners and when they had a unhappy V-Day 53% of them break up. To prevent this happening men rely on the web as the infographic shows. Around February 14th the search for restaurants grew by 135% on tablets, 142% on the desktop and 359% on smartphone, but also Dinner and Recipe V-Day searches hit their peak around this time. The creativity of presents isn´t really available because the most searched presents are Jewelry (+42%) V-Day Gifts (+27%) or flowers (+18%). All in all the web can really help most men to save their V-Day and relationship but the figures speak for themselves. So maybe think about V-Day sooner and get a really special and thoughtful gift.!Via: http://www.getthefive.com/articles/the-in-crowd/infographic-can-technology-save-valentines-day/ !

WHEN SMART IS NOT SO SMART"In 1997 the word `smart phone´ first appeared by Swedish firm Ericsson. Today most of the people own smart phones but the Google `chief of technology advocate´ Michael Jones and the polemical technology author Evgeny Morozov acknowledge big problems with the word smart and our society. People think they are getting smart because they all can use the gadgets or apps and profit from all the information. But nobody think about what will happen when we can´t rely on these things. All these gadgets can design out our imperfections though is this the way everything should be? `... some problems and imperfections are just the normal costs of accepting the social contract of living with other human being and and ensuring that, in our recent pursuit of a perfect society, we do not shut off the door to change.´!Via: http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20130201-when-smart-is-not-so-smart?selectorSection=section !

PAY BY TWEET- THE NEW WAY OF PAYMENT"This month American Express and Twitter entered into a cooperation agreement. US customers could connect their credit card with their twitter account and with the help of hashtags which they twitter are able to buy selected items. Last year customers could only get discount deals instead of allowing payments. The same strategy is used now because the Tablet Fire HD and the new Xbox are cheaper than the original price if you buy it over twitter. Maybe this is the new and innovative way tobuy items and perhaps other social networks will follow. Check out the video to see how such a purchase can look like.!Via: http://www.businessinsider.com/twitter-amex-launch-pay-by-tweet-service-2013-2 !http://www.stern.de/wirtschaft/geld/einkaufen-mit-hashtag-amex-experimentiert-mit-twitter-bezahlsystem-1970282.html !
