Best of the Internetz Returns
Well, we’ve had a bit of a hiatus lately but I’ve finished my travels and am back on board. What you may not know though, is that there have been some pretty major changes, which have happened. Not only did I finish up at LOUD Sydney, but I kept my bags packed and headed to Singapore to start at BBH to become their new Engagement Planner. If you are interested in hearing more about the move, check out my warts and all accounts at lincutripping.wordpress.com.

ESPN-ville Facebook game gains 350K users in 2 weeks
A social game for sports fans, the ESPN game takes a Farmville style approach to make gamers run their own sports bar filled with sports paraphernalia and TVs streaming sports games. The games also allow you check out real time scores and listen to ESPN radio. But where this game is sure to really come into its own is the inevitable (at least I hope they are heading this way) opportunity to combine the real world with the gaming world by allowing users to stream live sports matches from within the game.
Gaining 350,000 users in just 2 weeks, this will be a game with enormous potential.
Instagram reaches 150 million photos
Instagram is the iPhone darling of recent times and the latest round of stats sees no slowing of its popularity. Instagram, the photo sharing app available only on iOS, has announced that they have had 150 million images shared through the app at a rate of 15 per second. But the really interesting fact is that 80% of these photos have used filters. So what does that say about us?
