Around the Creative World (6/22/09)
With an amazing U.S. Open finally concluding, I now bring you this week’s list of news, opinion and/or video from around the “creative world.”
- NBC & CBS don’t agree on the future of broadcasting. I told them they should resolve it by simultaneiously airing a new show, “I’m a Network Exec, Get Me Out of Here!,” on both networks. No response.
- Twitter co-founder, Biz Stone, shared some secrets of success at Cannes.
- Beatles, RockBand. RockBand, Beatles. You guys should get along just fine.
- The Facebook community named Corona the top beer. I wonder if time of year has anything to do with the results.
- Perez Hilton assaulted by Will.i.am? Not newsworthy at all, but here you go.
- “The Story of Twitter in Picture Form” via TechCrunch
- Did you rush out and wait in line to get the new iPhone? If not, here’s a review. (Assuming, that if you already have one, you drank the kool-aid a long time ago and a review wouldn’t sway you anyway.)
- “The Proposal,” starring Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock, won the Box Office this weekend. “The Hangover” is still lingering, and “Up” is still in the air. (Clever descriptions of their place on the B.O. list. I know, I’m good.)
- New Balance Shoes remind you that America still exists.
