Guinness QR Cup Reveals Scannable Code When Full
AdWeek: AdFreak 17 May 2012, 8:44 pm CEST
QR codes have been exhibiting an uncharacteristic characteristic lately—they've been not sucking as much. We had the Korean retailer's 3-D sunlight-activated QR code, which was scannable only at lunch, when the shadows lined up. Now, we have this Guinness QR code on a beer glass, dreamed up by BBDO New York. It's literally activated by the product—you pour a Guinness into the glass, and the beer's black color fills out the code. (Those inferior amber-colored beers are useless here.) Scan the code with your smartphone, and it "tweets about your pint, updates your Facebook status, checks you in via Foursquare, downloads coupons and promotions, invites your friends to join you, and even launches exclusive Guinness content." In a pinch, it might even send out an SOS signal if you happen to be stuck on the Guinness submarine. More images after the jump. Via @TheSmarmyBum.

Land Rover's Survival Guide: You Can Eat It in Case of Emergency
AdWeek: AdFreak 17 May 2012, 6:43 pm CEST
Automakers are getting ever more inventive with the literature they package with new vehicles. In the U.K., we saw the guide to Britain's tiny roads that came free with Volkswagen's compact Up! car. Now, here's a more rugged offering from Land Rover in Dubai—a survival guide created by Y&R that explains the basics of staying alive in the Arabian Desert, and is actually edible, just in case you find yourself in truly dire circumstances. "Scorching temperatures, deadly animals and sinkholes are just a few things they might encounter," says the agency. "We researched every indigenous animal and plant that people could encounter in the Arabian Desert and how they could be used to survive. We studied the topography of the region to guide people to safety. We used a reflective packaging similar to army rations, which could be used to signal for help, and bound the book with a metal spiral, which could be used for cooking. Finally, we even took an extra step so that in case of emergency, people could always EAT the book. It was made out of edible ink and paper, and it had a nutritional value close to that of a cheeseburger." The book was sent to 5,000 existing Land Rover customers, given away to new customers as a supplement to the owner's manual, and made it freely available in sports shops. The only thing missing, really, is a cyanide pill. The lawyers probably objected.

Condom Maker Asks Women What They Won't Put in Their Vaginas
AdWeek: AdFreak 17 May 2012, 5:50 pm CEST
Sir Richard's condoms, last seen defending the honor of sluts everywhere, is back with another provocative campaign from ad agency TDA_Boulder, this time asking women to share "rules about what they won't put in their vaginas." Judging by the video below, it's more about who they won't put in their vaginas—although Sir Richard's at least promises it won't add any chemicals, either. The campaign, timed to National Women's Health Week, extends to promotions on Facebook and Instagram that encourage fans to share their #VaginaRule for a chance to win a year's worth of Sir Richard's condoms. See some wild postings after the jump.

Planio – Wiki-Style Project Organization
AppVita 17 May 2012, 3:30 pm CEST
Planio is a web-based project management system that takes its cues from Wikipedia when it comes to keeping large swaths of information organized and available at a moment’s notice. Planio facilitates online collaboration, automatically generates Gantt charts, and offers time-tracking features to keep everyone in the office on schedule.
Sign up for an account with Planio based on the number of ongoing projects you have and the number of users who’ll need access to your company account. Once you’ve gotten your employees on board, you can get to work uploading key files and assigning tasks to associates from within the Planio system. Each user who is assigned a task is granted specific permissions and roles, which makes it easy to track when milestones have been met and point the blame if critical errors are ultimately made. To ensure those types of mistakes never happen, it’s important to stay in constant contact with your team. Planio offers a communication system that features company forums and numerous commenting capabilities to ensure everyone stays in the loop.
People who enjoy Wikipedia’s organization style will appreciate Planio take. The web-app offers individual wikis and full-text search options to help users find the exact documents and conversations they need at a moment’s notice. Large companies and teams will never feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information they’ve stored in Planio, since the application keeps that information structured in a way that is always organized and controlled.
Practical Uses:
- Assign tasks to employees without speaking in person
- Keep your employees organized when working with multiple clients
- Share files without relying on email attachments
- Collaborate on an upcoming presentation with colleagues
Insider Tips:
- Planio offers a CRM helpdesk to improve the way companies work with clients
- Individual tasks can be attached to specific milestones
- Planio backs up user content each day
- Users can customize their own workflows
What we liked:
- Individual employees can all be granted different levels of access within Planio
- Users can estimate expenses with the time tracking tool
- Colleagues can share files and collaborate on presentations
- All changes made to group wikis can be tracked

Slidemotion – Turn Snapshots Into Videos
AppVita 17 May 2012, 3:30 pm CEST
Who has time to flip through a photo album these days? Slidemotion is a tool that modernizes photos by turning them into moving videos – complete with background music and all the other flourishes people have come to expect from professionally designed video montages.
Putting together your first video with Slidemotion doesn’t have to take any longer than three minutes. Assuming you already have the latest version of Microsoft Silverlight installed on your computer, you can get started by clicking “Create new video” and uploading the images you’d like to use. Add up to 15 images from your hard drive or Facebook account. Each photo is its own “section” in the movie, and you can add unique songs – which either come from your computer or Slidemotion’s collection – and overlay text to as many sections as you like. You can also edit specific images by rotating, cropping, or zooming in. When you’re done with your masterpiece, click “Finalize” and “Complete.” Slidemotion will send you an email when your video is ready to view and share.
Heavy Facebook users will appreciate Slidemotion’s easy integration with the social networking platform, making it easy to turn entire albums worth of photos into memorable videos in mere minutes. Slidemotion is a great tool for individuals looking for fresh ways to preserve their vacation memories, as well as small business owners looking for low-cost ways to market their companies online.
Practical Uses:
- Create a video based on the photos taken at your wedding
- Use images from your vacation when creating a family video
- Turn the photos your customers submit into a commercial for your store
- Use music and text to add context to the video from your recent trip to Jamaica
Insider Tips:
- Facebook users can create videos in just three clicks with Slidemotion’s VideoExpress app
- Images can be cropped, rotated, and zoomed in on
