NEWS

Story 1 - Rumors of Google Launching Social Network called "Google.me" (http://mashable.com/2010/07/13/google-social-slide-deck/)

Do you think Google will actually release a social network given their terrible track record at all things social? Many would say that the evolution of search is inherently social so Google has no choice but to launch a social network — agree?

Story 2 - Calvin Klein Jeans Replaces Billboards with QR Codes (http://mashable.com/2010/07/13/calvin-klein-qr-code-billboard/)

Have you scanned QR codes on ads? Do you think adoption of this technology will become widespread as it is in Japan or is it destined for failure?

Story 3 - Facebook Acquires Social Travel Recommendation Site Nextstop (http://techcrunch.com/2010/07/08/facebook-acquires-social-travel-recommendation­-site-nextstop/)

What social review/travel recommendation services do you use? Is this a threat to Yelp?

[ActressAngela]

Hi there, Actress Angela here. The people at WK (The Firm that works with Old Spice) actually sent people out to get the props for my engagement video, I guess it took a few hours to get everything together. :) I am sure that they did the same type of things for every video.
