Let's All Annoy Facebook
How to annoy the employees of FACEBOOK: A step-by-step tutorial.
1. Open this site:
https://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=data_requests
2. Enter your personal information
3. Make a reference to the following law:
“Section 4 DPA + Art. 12 Directive 95/46/EG”
DPA is a british law called “Data Protection Act” from 1988
4. Click on SEND
FACEBOOK HAS TO send your data within 40 days as this is your personal right following Art. 12 fromt he European Data Protection Directive. You will most likely find out that FACEBOOK knows more than it should! And you’ll also see that FACEBOOK doesn’t delete your data the way it should! And now to the annoying part: They will have to send you a CD-ROM with your data on it. Imagine them burning billions of CDs…

Well.. the title says it all.
And I’ve been spending far too much time on this site.*
This is almost as addictive as overheard in new york!

*At least I’m not looping Keyboard Cat as much..
I’ve got a handle on that particular compulsion, despite all the new ones.
Damn you viral sites.
Voltage
by Demosthenes on Jul.28, 2009, under Music, Technology
Just like modular synthesizers, people connect with each other in order to achieve diverse objectives. In Voltage, robots, half-human and half-synthesizer, powered by a huge amount of energy, connect to each other in an electric and chaotic trance. Directed by: Filippe Lyra e William Paiva

This little number was sent to me by three different people this week and, while I didn’t think it was too spectacular, I figured that the sheer number of people that were forwarding it on showed the real power of viral marketing.
We took to the hills of Wales armed to the teeth with sheep, LEDs and a camera, to create a huge amazing LED display. Of sorts. For more info search for samsung LED TV or visit samsung.com/LED
Globally Infectious Web Trends
V1R4L is a tumblr to drive traffic to viral and guerrilla marketing initiatives, web trends, interesting fads and crazes and general internet tom foolery. In fact, our only rule for posts is that they have to be interesting. The categories to the right enable us to shelve posts by interest, but you certainly don’t have to submit ideas that fit neatly into one of those groups. If it’s interesting, we want to hear about it.
