Not sure [...]

Over at the One Degree blog, there is a coverage of a panel from the SXSW interactive festival, during which the panelists were asked to vote on the worst social media campaigns in 2007.

Nice Schweppes Slow-Mo TV Spot

This one is fantastic, I couldn’t resist posting it here:

Reminds me a little bit of the Sony Bravia Spots. Well done, I wish there was more of this kind.
