Today’s Twitter trends – Wednesday 3rd July 2013

We love a good trend (although in the Twitterspehere it is ever so fleeting) - what's been trending near you if you havent got UK as your link?

Our theory is the that from the list below, the Bieb is using Instagram to help people in Swansea come to the realisation that they aren't in Scotland by taking Wimbledon to the streets of Egypt. Or not...

A few colours of predictability…

Ok, so we have a few ladies in the office who have been enticed and overwhelmed by flipping the pages (or sliding the screen) of the latest book crazy, ‘fifty shades of whatsit’.

But some have become a little bored by its predictability.

So is this a book of the ages, has overrun the Mills and Boon literature of romance, or is it nothing more than a predictable mass-market read for bored housewives and those who love fads?

Or is it just luck – an author who actually fell into the literary pool of writing slush, basic character development and creating nice names and who just wanted to write a book?

It’s no Anna Karenina or Jane Austen bundle, but it obviously had something gripping.

So what makes a good book great? And is ‘50 shades’ the latest equivalent of a viral video, hot off the bookshelves and into our laps, with a cuppa on the side table, late at night, so when we awake we can have a ‘water cooler’ moment…?

Video games gone viral

Like a persistent neighbour showing you their new grandchild, when videos go ‘viral’, everyone (well, maybe not necessarily everyone) is meant to watch them and enjoy.

From the recent doco on the African war lord Joseph Kony, to Fenton the runaway dog in Richmond Park with his rather annoyed swearing owner in the background and for all the romantics in existance, there was an American man who proposed to the tune of Bruno Mars: what makes a video so good, you just have to see it?

Videos that make people talk are talked about because they involve several things – the unexpected, the topical, the determination and the sometimes unexpected determination of the key character or cause.

It is about the participation in, the sharing and the passing on of news.

So what videos make you sit up and take notice of a video that everyone should be watching and talking about (of course until the next thing comes along…)
