    A 13-year-old American kid filmed himself in an Apple store – A thinking of personal branding 

    A 13-year-old American kid who filmed himself in an Apple store in NY by using iMovie. This kid is super famous now in the US and he has been invited by many TV companies.

    Firstly please see this video:

    The kid secretly used a camera in the store to clip himself; he played the song but he just simply simulated as a vocalist by various body motions, and then uploaded the video by using the store’s Internet.

    I like this video (actually he has filmed several videos in the store) not only his talent of playing but also his ‘thief looking’. He looked at himself in the screen, then looked other people, and then filmed.  I think everyone may be familiar with these actions because many people have played  the camera in a 3C store. I can say that this video could not be fun if lacked these actions.

    Moreover, you can see some of the audiences were looking at this kid. Some were laughing, some were confused, some called friends, and some do not interested in this. However, the kid continued to play and didn’t care about others. The faces on the video become the best background of this video.

    This video gives me two thoughts:

    1. Any camera is the chance to film you: CCTV and camera are everywhere, we may be filmed everyday and many places we don’t know. If we are able to get the videos, we may produce an interesting movie.

    2. “Music + Natural Background” seems the formula of becoming famous: We can see so many hot Youtube videos which have the same element: music. Even the author just simply using a cheap camera (like a web cam) and proper music.

    The natural is probably the best way to the personal branding.

      Ha ha~~ this boy is funny!! He is a really talented boy, mate!! well~~ anyway, the CCTV could be used to different way, it can be used to benefit people or be used in opposite way. All depends on the user.

    Facebook Lite is now ON 

    Facebook Lite logo

    Facebook Lite is now on.

    The page looks more clear and easy to use, particularly for the new Facebook users, or anyone feels the original page is too disorderly. And is more similar to Twitter.

    Facebook Lite pageThe Facebook Lite page looks more clear and speed up.

    To compare with the classic page, the biggest differences are that:

    • The navigation from the left is removed.
    • The updating functions (write, upload photos and videos) are hidden, but only show up when you click it.
    • The ‘Friends’ item is replaced to ‘Events’ on the Lite page.

    §

    The loading speed is much faster than the classic page, probably because of the optimised HTML. However, the most likely reason should be the less ads.

    Psychologist: Facebook Makes You Smarter, Twitter Makes You Dumber 

    Brain

    SEE the news from here and read another blog‘s comments which trackbacks the news .

    The main idea of this article is that:

    While Facebook apparently expands the working memory and therefore “enhances intelligence” because the mind has to work in keeping up with one’s 500 friends, Twitter does not deserve such glowing praise.

    Many people do not agree with this statement, and I don’t think that the arguement is fully correct either. Because it may depend on different people, countries and even education environment. Anyway, it may not affect the brain too much though.

      well, i think some people feel that be addicted to facebook will let you act like a idiot cause you will be controled by many application or quizs from the web. so, for your own good, just keep in touch with your friends in a “real contact” way! that’s what human have done since we have borned.

      • Stan 6:46 pm on 13/09/2009 Permalink | Reply

        Hi Evan, yap this is a good point. I think human beings can’t just negligent the nature way of communication. However, we should utilise technology to help/assist communication, not just rely on the technology. For example, I’ve been using MSN to keep in touch wz my previous school mates for many years, but we haven’t seen each other for many years as well. So, the community we are talking about now may be just a ‘visual’ thing. Indeed the relations, thoughts, words are exactly existing, but the movie “Matrix” is really considering to become true. Who can tell? :)
