I’ve been saying for years someone needs to figure out how to do a news or current affairs program using Facebook and it seems Facebook have finally figured out they have a place in the content world… albeit with a little bit of a damp squib but hey a squib never the less. First they allowed Channel 5 to broadcast through them (nice/not that squibby actually btw) but then they launched Facebook Live last week in an “it’s ok is all” kind of way. I kind of imagined and wanted more though. Weird content choice (Ugly Betty crossover movie ‘The Dry Land‘ for America Ferrar) and generally a lack of production value but it kind of worked. Possibly to a few less (360) than imagined given the 500 million potential reach. That said this has massive potential. Thoughts?

With over 200,000 views, 673 entries, numerous blog posts and +12 days still to run I was intrigued to see the rapid adoption/spread the competition to rebrand BP’s logo (for a prize of $200) was generating over at logomyway.com. Whilst personally I may find this genius and terrifying as a comms practitioner I was a little unsure of where BP’s lawyers would stand if pressed on what to do. Sure this could be seen as a smart way to rebrand in less turbulent times (or others in general) but it is also a massive problem for BP (on a long list some might say). Legally where do they stand? Well it’s iffy. Read the rest of this entry »
