PlayStation: Real Time Projection Mapping Ads So I’ve probably seen just about every projection mapping event, installation or experiment known to man. But, I completely missed this one late last year, and… it just happens to be one of the best creative executions around. It’s a little different too, not only were these projections created for use as ads, but they were created with real-time tracking, no special effects and shot in a single take, which is no easy feat… just watch! The campaign was created to showcase PlayStation’s “Immersive Movie Experience”… Seriously cool huh?… Can you guess the films? Created by The Found Collective.

online | Jim-Studie 2010: Kommunikation steht bei Jugendlichen im Vordergrund Chatten, skypen, mailen: Jugendliche nutzen das Internet vor allem zur Kommunikation. Darauf entfällt fast die Hälfte (46 Prozent) ihrer Onlinezeit, heißt es in der repräsentativen Jim-Studie 2010 ("Jugend, Information, (Multi-)Media"), die der Medienpädagogische Forschungsverbund Südwest am Freitag in Mannheim vorlegte. Ein Problem ist dabei nach wie vor das "Cybermobbing": 15 Prozent der Befragten berichten, dass im Netz schon falsche oder beleidigende Angaben über sie verbreitet wurden – etwas mehr als im Vorjahr (2009: 14 Prozent). 23 Prozent (2009: 24 Prozent) haben erlebt, dass jemand "fertiggemacht" wurde. Aber es gibt auch Positives: Nutzer der Communities achten mehr darauf, nicht zu viel von sich preiszugeben. Für 86 Prozent der 1208 Befragten im Alter von 12 bis 19 Jahren steht das Internet nach dem Musikhören auf Platz zwei bei der Mediennutzung. Fernsehen und Radio sind für je 56 Prozent von großer Bedeutung, für 38 Prozent ist es die Tageszeitung.
Twitter Study Reveals the Secret to Getting More Followers After analyzing the Twitter profiles of 36 million users who have generated more than 28 billion tweets (that's 794 tweets per person in three years on average), Beevolve's social analytics research reveals user follower bases directly correlate with how much they tweet. A Twitter user who has written 1 to 1000 tweets has an average of 51 to 100 followers, whereas users who have tweeted more than 10,000 times tend to be followed by 1,001 to 5000 individuals. It's estimated that a person with more than 15,000 tweets has between 100,001 to 1 million followers. Beevolve's report, called "An Exhaustive Study of Twitter Users Around the World," takes a look at users' demographics, follower stats, gender preferences, favorite keywords and smartphone/app preferences.

Twitter Hacking Victims Find Stolen Accounts Sold On Black Market Eric Weaver tried logging in to his Twitter account this summer, but he was locked out. A hacker had broken into his account and changed the password. But it didn't end there. With a little digging, Weaver found that his Twitter handle -- @weave -- was being sold in an online forum at HackForums.net. "I was surprised this was all happening so openly," said Weaver, an advertising executive in Seattle. Weaver's experience is not unique. This week, Twitter user Daniel Dennis Jones detailed in a Storify post how his Twitter account -- @blanket -- was hacked, stolen and put up for sale on the black market. Experts say the underground market for Twitter accounts and the apparent ease with which they are stolen raises questions about security at the popular micro-blogging site. “Why is Twitter not doing that?” Twitter did not respond to repeated requests for comment. Such software -- known as a “Twitter cracker" -- can be easily purchased online. “They’re just bored kids,” he said.
