Wikipedia Causes Facepalms, Users Annoyed

Dear Wikipedia,

don’t do that.

wikipedia1

Users act by habit. Yours is a search-based service. You moved the search box (the single most-used element of your design) from the center left to the top right. You have a fluid design. People love 24” or even 30” monitors.

Do the math.

It’s a wonder users haven’t started a riot yet. If I were a hardcore Wikipedia user, I’d have started one for sure.

You Know Something’s a Viral Campaign When…

It was first introduced in your Twitter timeline by a marketeer and you see it liked again and again in Facebook by more marketeers.

I’m quite sure that in the end, marketeers will cry wolf but noone will believe them.

I consider this funny actually. Imagine a situation:

Marketeer
OMFG guys, you’ve GOT to see this, there’s a yellow elephant walking in my garden!

Audience
*crickets chirping, tumbleweeds rolling*

Marketeer
Aw come on guys, REALLY!

Audience

elephant flies away on a pink cloud driven by unicorns

Most Inappropriate Product Placement in Known History

OK, I exaggerate. But you should have got used to it by now.

It’s my lunch break. I enjoy my lentils, while idly surfing around YouTube. I find this new hip-hop promo by the greek band Stavento. I hate greek music but Stavento is a secret crush of mine, plus they feature this amazingly beautiful and talented 16-year old. So I click on it.

I’m watching idly till I stumble upon the most awkward product placement I’ve seen recently. Like the porn flashes embedded to normal movies by Tyler Durden, it makes me cringe.

If you’re really anxious to see it, scroll to 2:45, up until 3:00.

Whut? NIVEA skincare products are now a trend between young, fashionable tweens? And they carry them around in their pockets? Who knew?

Seriously, who approves this stuff?
