Toyota Sued, Brand Slavery, Viral Vetting, Court Orders on Twitter

v-f-f.jpg

– Toyota and Saatchi get sued for freaking a woman out with their stalkerish Matrix campaign.

– If you guys are in NYC next week, join me at an AdForum social media sesh called Brand Servants or Brand Masters?. I think you can guess what it’s about and why it might be relevant. Entry’s $95; it’ll be two hours long.

Social media summed up.

– The October 23 deadline for the Viral Film Festival, held by Vanksen, fast approaches! Get your cool viral work in and see it projected over a panoply of drunk people in Paris on November 26. No cost to enter; this is all for the love of the crowd. (And some goodwill for Vanksen, natch.)

One tweet you probably don’t want.

– Something about nosepicking.

– NPR wants hyperlocal journos.
