Free Idea: Autogenerating Collage of Where You’ve Lived
If I made Facebook apps, I would mock this up at lot better, but unfortunately, I’m just an idea man and I don’t have any place to put this one. The basic idea would be to use the Google Steetview API to pull images of every place you’ve lived, then automatically create a visual collage [...]

Pharrell photoshoot with a fixed gear. Get yours custom built by Urban Outfitters, y’all.
the game vs. jay-z is like n. korea vs. the us
So I heard this pretty smart/amazing analysis on morning edition last week. And it got me thinking about how Urgent might go about calling out our competitors to make a name for ourselves. Does beef in the UGC ad game work the same way as it does in foreign policy/rap battles? And who should we [...]
Raaaaaaaandy! branded content campaign generating buzz for Apatow's melodramaish-looking new film
