I then went on in my post about how the phrase was entirely to vague and complicated to describe what Facebook actually is/does. Long story short, Facebook has now changed their homepage's tagline:
Wow! Did they listen to me? I think this is a vast improvement from their previous homepage, and it makes it much easier for non-Facebookies to quickly "get" what Facebook is all about. For once I can actually say, congrats Facebook on doing something right.
Iʼitoi is the michievous creator god who resides in a cave just below the peak of Baboquivari Mountain. Visitors to the cave are asked to bring a gift to ensure their safe return from the depths. I'itoi is said to have brought the Hohokam people to this earth from the underworld. He is also responsible for the gift of the Himdag, a series of commandments guiding people to remain in balance with the world and interact with it as intended.
He is most often referred to as the Man in the Maze, a reference to a design appearing on native basketry and petroglyphs which positions him at the entry to a labyrinth. The labyrinth design depicts experiences and choices we make in our journey through life. In the middle of the "maze", a person finds their dreams and goals. When one reaches the center, we have one final opportunity (the last turn in the design) to look back upon our choices and path, before the Sun God greets us, blesses us and passes us into the next world.
The Sensory Deprivation Skull, created in 2007 by Joep van Lieshout, is a seat with doors that you can shut to submerse yourself in total darkness. The skull is constructed of reinforced fiberglass, measures 59 inches tall by 43 inches long and 53 cm wide. I know for certain I couldn’t fit inside, but perhaps someone with dwarfism might be able to.
It is very cool though, and I would certainly have one if my apartment if it wasn’t for the annoying little price tag.
The artist, Joep van Lieshout, was born in 1963 in the city of Ravenstein in the Netherlands, but now resides in Rotterdam. You can check out his personal website at Atelier Van Lieshout.
In a recent post I harshly critiqued a company who was posting comments on Facebook pages to try to draw attention to their page. Although the posts were funny and intriguing, there was still a certain mystery as to who this person was and why they were leaving these links. As such, I think it's important to draw attention to the fact companies must have a social media outreach policy in place when trying to reach influencers and consumers.
The Raider Nation is indeed just that, a nation of the most loyal and dedicated fans I have ever seen. Last night was the first time I saw the Raiders play on their own turf, and the fandamonium was out of control.
From the moment I walked off the Bart station, I knew I was in the midst of the most die hard fans of the NFL. I felt like I was walking into the Coliseum in Rome. From the second the game started to when it ended the crowd never stopped screaming, cheering, and all around being completely dedicated to doing everything they can to help their team win. Unfortunately we lost, but it was one hell of an experience. I'm certainly going to go back for more games.
Michael’s under-the-radar tactic might work on a few, but to many it reeks of marketing. A better and more honest approach would be to reveal that he is working with Braun to promote their latest razor. Obviously, you’d want some good copy, but it’s important to bring clarity to the relationship between the person posting and the link to the company page they are providing. 
I have to admit the page isn’t terrible, but it has far too much content, and doesn’t tie back to an overarching theme for existing. Facebook isn’t a marketing platform for Braun, rather an opportunity to nurture a community based around something. They totally missed the mark on this one.
