Finally! Someone gives a shit for your Tweets... #FdAdFriday

I'm not sure many Tweets are even worth that. But for a fairly hefty fee, Shitter will print your Twitter feed on toilet paper. The perfect gift for the social media hack who has everything, I guess.

Playboy Argentina turns Twitter into titter #FdAdFriday

In this video (Spanish with subtitles), Grey Buenos Aires explains how it used Twitter as a second screen to get viewers of the "Saturday Bus" program, featuring Maria Paz Delgado, to retweet each time they saw a reference to Senorita Delgado in their feed. For every 15 RTs monitored, Playboy would reveal another block of her nude pictorial (from her October issue appearance) on Tweetgrid.


At least, I think that's how it worked. Contains nudity, obviously.

#PRmageddon — Post-Valentine's edition

Jezebel has a great little piece about how the big flower industry took a social media beating yesterday due to disappointing product, shabby service, and often complete failure to deliver.

Ouch! FTD may want to rethink that slogan, "say it your way". It looks like their customers already have.

As the article points out, " course, Valentine's Day floral screw-ups have probably been happening for years, but now thanks to the magic of social networking, we have an up close and personal view of the epic fails all of the major online florists seem to be experiencing at the moment."

What Jez fails to mention is the phenomenal "out" this provides to all the men with disappointed (intentionally) flowerless Valentine's dates. "I ordered it from FTD" could be the new "the cheque is in the mail".



No word on whether Teleflora caused Adriana Lima's date to sleep on the couch.

R/GA Presents: The Workplace Sexual Harassment Twitter App #officecupid

What a terrible idea.

R/GA has launched this cute little self-promotional Twitter thing that is bound to get someone in trouble. Anonymous "valentweets" may seem really sweet, until you remember the following rule of the internet:
person + anonymity + audience = total dickwad.

In other words, this could make Mad Men look like a model of appropriate relations between the sexes at work.*

So let's try:

And... nothing. I just got stood up by myself. On Valentine's Day. **sob**

@StoddenDrawn visualizes @CourtneyStodden's Tweets

No sooner did I lower my blogging standards with a post about Courtney Stodden than I got a Tweet from a guy who told introduced himself thusly:

This is what I love about our modern communication culture. Not only can a teenager, who marries a man in his fifties for publicity, become internet famous — but some anonymous wag with coloured pencils and a scanner can also make her bizarre alliterative Tweets into art.

Drawn Stodden Tweets is a Tumblr that documents the "best" of Ms. Stodden's ramblings with crudely-drawn literal visualizations.

Here is his explanation:

"I draw some of the weirdness that Courtney Stodden tweets.  Follow on the Titillating Twitter: @StoddenDrawn You can ask me anything. I'll try and answer it like Courtney (i.e. I'll be hopped up on tanning lotion, meth and glitter)"

He even documents her occasional lapses into being a "good Christian":

Cheap shots on an easy target? Sure. But at least it's creative.

F'd Ad Fridays: Domino's gets bitchy on Twitter
