Rupert The Bear and more

Being able to directly connect with interesting people is one of the thing I love about Twitter.

Exhibit A:

Charlie Brooker sent this out today:

“What murderers see and hear in their heads while digging your kidneys out with a trowel”

Funny, interesting – direct to you. What more could you want?

Some more from Charlie today:

“If I ran the BBC, the titles to the Ten O’Clock News would look & sound exactly like this”

“And this for Panorama”

Also, is this what the murders see just before they cave your head in?

And who remembers these with the legendary Derek Griffiths working his magic.

Boy From Space

Dark Towers

A proper trip down memory lane.

Here’s what I love about YouTube.

Someone’s made a Dark Towers playlist!!

Targetted Facebook Ads

This guy graduated with an MBA and arrived smack-bang in the middle of a job shredding recession. So what did he do?

To try to land a job at Microsoft he bought Facebook ads that specifically targeted employees of the companies he wanted to work for.

It cost him less than $50, and he got over 20 Microsoft employees to contact him offering to help.

Smart thinking
