I love these commercials! Great to see their efforts are paying off.  I think their interaction with fans on Twitter is brilliant.

From Mashable.com:

Ad agency Wieden + Kennedy’s “The Man Your Man Could Smell Like” TV spot for Old Spice has won the Emmy for Outstanding Commercial.

The spot starred former NFL wide receiver Isaiah Mustafa as the Old Spice Guy, a character now well-known in pop culture thanks to the TV ads and a highly successful social media campaign.

The Old Spice Guy solicited questions from fans on TwitterTwitter, Yahoo Answers and other websites, then answered them in short, humorous YouTubeYouTube videos. Total upload views for theOld Spice YouTube videos (including both the TV and the social media campaigns) currently stand at almost 135 million. “The Man Your Man Could Smell Like” has more than 18 million.

From MSNBC.com: Details of 100 million Facebook users published online

Yes we should all have some expectation of privacy and responsibility to our online lives – but you should also expect that not everyone shares your expectations, and live only to exploit or point out weaknesses. Looks like someone found a weakness and exploited it. Unfortunate, yes, but don’t be surprised.

From MSNBC.com:

Details of 100 million Facebook users published online

Users’ personal information cannot now be made private, security consultant says

Bowes used code to scan the 500 million Facebook profiles for information not hidden by privacy settings. The resulting file, which allows people to perform searches of various different types, has been downloaded by more than 2,400 people.

This means that if any of those on the list decide to change their privacy settings on Facebook, Bowes and those who have the file will still be able to access information that was public when it was compiled.

Bowes’ actions also mean people who had set their privacy settings so their names did not appear in Facebook’s search system can now be found if they were friends with anyone whose name was searchable.

‘Scary privacy issue’
On his website, www.skullsecurity.org, Bowes said the results of his code were “spectacular,” giving him 171 million names of which were 100 million unique.
