Charlie Brooker’s Screenwipe Currently in its fourth season, BBC 4’s “Charlie Brooker’s Screenwipe” is a hilarious and sometimes cynical look at the week’s TV with Brooker’s own form of social commentary TV industries more ludicrous trends. Of course if you’re already a fan of Charlie Brooker, you don’t need me to tell you about him — but lets […]
Tracking popular virals I don’t know about you, but I’ve always admired Virals, they’re is a lot of creativity involved with making virals, in addition – it throws the marketing over to your customer. But I guess most importantly, they’re usually very funny. Anyway, I found a site that “tracks” the most popular flash games, video virals, etc. […]
