Video of the week – Nostalgic backward trip for McDonalds

Published on November 15, 2011 by in Entertainment, Media, Social Media, Video of the Day

Our Video of the week is dedicated to good old McDonalds and their backwards video to celebrate their birthday. To celebrate 30 years of serving customers in Spain, McDonald’s have placed up a special promotional video on their Youtube page. The hook is that the video plays backwards so starting at 2011, it goes back through the years, and looks at the trends and events that occurred each year until it reaches 1981. As it cycles back through the years, the page begins to devolve to more basic technology, the Youtube video reverts to its old format while the video

Published on September 16, 2011 by in In The Papers Today, Media

Tens years on and the pain and loss suffered is still as strong as ever as this picture of a mother grieving at Ground Zero memorial from Monday’s ‘Irish Sun’ depicts. ‘The Star’ on Thursday explains how the recession is making Irish people world record crazy with the latest release of the Guinness World Records including 135 new records set by Irish record breakers. Other weird and wacky

Socially Acceptable

Published on September 1, 2011 by in Advertising, Media, Social Media

Social media has been around for a number of years now and is not going anywhere any time soon.  For most people it has transformed from the scary unknown entity into an everyday outlet.  People are becoming more and more comfortable with tweeting and blogging and it is forming part of their daily routine; wake up, brush teeth, check Facebook, have breakfast, tweet about what I had for breakfast etc., etc., etc.  As a result, the availability and variety of information is endless. While easy access to information is a welcome development, it presents us with a whole other set

Le déanaí dheineas clár ar Raidío na Life le John Barker (@totallyirish98 ar Twitter) faoi cúrsaí spóirt in Éirinn (I Roinn Dá gCuid Fhéin) agus go háirithe an difríocht idir na leibhéil éagsúla sna spóirt.

Pé scéal é, seo dhaoibh na pod-chraoltaí ar an gclár…roinnt aoí a bhí againn? Bernard Dunne, David Henry, Donnacha Ryan, Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh agus daoine eile nach iad.

HORSEMANNING

Published on August 19, 2011 by in Entertainment, In The Papers Today, Media, Uncategorized

New Internet Craze: Horsemanning – what the ….? I’m a joiner, always have been. If there’s a bandwagon – I’m on it. If there’s a craze – I’m getting crazy. But internet-fad planking I just didn’t get. Okay, the thoughts of someone lying down flat in the middle of a bus or room full of active people is kind of funny. But as soon as the guy in Australia died from planking the decision was made. I’m anti-plank. But horsemanning – this is one I could get heavily invovled in. Started in the 1920’s – here’s the supposed original pic

Chaos raged through the streets of London during the week as police fought to bring mindless yobs under control. In a story that dominated the media landscape on both sides of the Irish Sea, London was transformed into a warzone as terror reigned down on the English capital. Violence also spread to other cities including Birmingham, Liverpool and Bristol. Reports surfaced throughout the ordeal of mindless acts that included a teenager being forced to strip down on the street and hand over all his clothes, while another story of a young Asian student hit the headlines after he was helped

All Hail the Paella Guys, Dublin Street Food Award Winners

Published on August 12, 2011 by in Business, Entertainment, In The Papers Today, Lifestyle, Media, Social Media

(this was the best picture I could find…!!) Yesterday was a good day. In addition to my morning coffee, laugh in the office and everything else that a rainy August Thursday brings, I went to the Dublin Street Food Awards where the Paella Guys (my boyfriend is one of those guys) picked up the People’s Choice Award  for the best street food in Dublin. An idea which came about five years ago when Chef Ian Marconi returned from London having worked and trained in two busy London establishments and was looking for something unique to do, the Paella Guys is
