Sorry about that.  This week’s issue was taken over by the World Cup’s digital vuvuzela, found inside, along with a whole bunch of other digital extensions to the planet’s favorite sporting event.  Also, we watch a digital behavior go analog as “Liking” something creeps into the real world, a classically-trained violinist playing the first level of Super Mario Bros. (not how you think), and the technology of today getting a decidedly-retro graphic design makeover.  Finally, New @ Denuo  recaps our involvement with The Betacup and how changing our coffee-drinking habits could save the planet from environmental destruction.

Issue 62 of Reflecteur looks into the deeper data behind photographs and video, whether its through Flickr decoding how tourists and locals photograph cities and how that data becomes a captivating image itself, or how history is revealed through Google Street View, where images from the past mesh with the present to tell a story through a digital map utility.

Also inside, the art of the font and the subcultures devoted to them, what YouTube does to a video when its downloaded and reuploaded over a thousand times, and the triumphant return of Denuo and Taco Bell’s purple, taco-dealing, free-wheeling truck.

So BRAND walks into a bar… (no, this is not a joke).  What happens when “bar” equals “community hub?”

I’ve found the reactions of marketers to the need for serious thought and planning around community-management to be both surprising and fascinating.  After all, community management– like so many of the concepts that come onto our professional radar in a rush of “why haven’t you considered this before”– isn’t a new concept.  We could go all the way back to early human communities and examine counselors, religious figures and even the town drunk for clues about how to keep people happy, engaged and contributing to a greater good (or evil).

Springtime in the UK is usually an idyllic time as the crocus and daffodils bloom and the winter gives way to lush surroundings..  However, this year had a crescendo of events amassed to create several major global shifts to businesses:  natural, political and technological.
