How To Freshen Up A 40 Year Old Brand.
As the second half of the year is well underway now I got to thinking…
What is the most memorable creative from the first half of 2006?
It’s always difficult to pick just one, but this Star Trek campaign by Rogue for G4 is definitely on my short list. The effort gets high marks for being both LOL funny and smartly strategic in its attempt to make a long in the tooth brand relevant to a new and much younger demographic.
The spot above with Spock giving his perogative on the karaoke machine could be the best of the bunch, but other spots in the campaign are equally good as we find the Enterprise crew in a coffee shop, on a version of Cribs and rubbing lotion poolside.
All are worth a viewing if you have a minute. Congrats to the team who put it all together.

Just pass it a phone number and it will tell you who the carrier is even if the phone number is ported from one carrier to another. Our database is updated daily so even numbers that are ported today report correctly tomorrow. If you would like a demo account call. We have several large corporations and online software vendors using the service. cfielding@txtwire.com http://www.txtwire.com Comment on Open Source SMS Text Messaging Application by Kyle2008
Great post DC. Very interesting approach to sending SMS. Is the source code for this actually available anywhere? Thanks! Comment on Open Source SMS Text Messaging Application by JustUs1776
Great post. I'm a LAMP Developer and I was wondering if anyone has been able to build their own GSM server. That is, a server that can utilize a GSM modem to send direct, local messages to cell or IP phones. I'm working for a not-for-profit health care organization and have a suite of applications that I'd like to improve communication turn around time by sending SMS messages our nurses IP phones and our Physician's cell phones. I've found a ton of services that are all cost prohibitive and was hoping for an open source solution. Comment on Open Source SMS Text Messaging Application by Roy
My son's teacher would like to be able to send short text messages to students. I'm looking for a simple solution that would allow him to broadcast to 20-40 students a "reminder" about class info. This article looks very promising, but It appears to be server based. Can this type of program be modified to run run stand-a-lone, ie flash drive, desktop...? comment feed...
