Is Facebook Brand Tagging Creepy or Cool?

You have always realised that we tend to tag “nose” on some friend’s nose or “toilet” on a toilet door. Don’t deny. I had the urge to tag that can of Coke you’re holding in a Facebook picture. Apparently, many of you have. Don’t lie. Coca-Cola’s Facebook Page now sports several pictures of fans posing with tagged Coke cans. Coke had encouraged fans to do so within hours of Facebook’s announcement last week. Starbucks‘s and Zappos‘s Facebook Pages have also posted pictures of fans with tagged products. So, it’s a dream come through? Facebook added the functionality on March 11. Such tagged photos appear in the Photos tab of a Page, rather than that Page’s wall. While such tagging is so far voluntary, The Atlantic’s Nicholas Jackson speculated that Facebook could monetize the feature by making it automatic. Instead of tagging the photo yourself, Coca-Cola could do it for you, resulting in what is, in effect, real-life product placement. Will it really end up functioning the way it should be? To help in product placement? I just hope page moderators won’t have a hard time clearing those tag pictures which are purely just spam. It’s just like you can just LIKE the page and just TAG; without even the moderators approval. What do you think? Is this an increase in functionality or another example of Facebook grafting commerce onto social interactions? Creepy or cool; it’s all for you to use it, try it and play with it.

JUSTIN BIEBER WORKING TOO HARD?

So Bieber concerts and tours has almost been fully packed or sold out in almost all locations. Despite all his criticisms, he recently performed to another sold out concert in Manila. But not many knew the drama behind the scenes. Or perhaps, some unseen shots of Bieber in this scene. Apparently, Bieber was seen throwing up in the backstage in between songs because he was very ill. Doctor also diagnosed Justin with a bad chest infection. It takes no genius to know that doctor advised this man-to-be to cancel the show or do an abbreviated set but Justin insisted on the decision to cut down the show but still let the show go on in Manila. He is really one star which doesn’t want to disappoint his fans eh? But is he working too hard? Obviously, the show did not stop once it started and sources says Bieber completed a 90-minute full set. Have this star forgotten he is just 17 and he isn’t a superman? More updates on what I feel about Justin Bieber soon.

Gagaville

I used to remember there was a period of time where Farmville used to be one of the most famous and hit game on Facebook. I was just reading it via E!Online and Mashable that Lady Monster has not come out with Gagaville to promote and celebrate her album Born This Way before the official launch on May 23. Lady Gaga says:

“I want to celebrate and share Born This Way with my little monsters in a special way that’s never been done before. Zynga has created a magical place in FarmVille where my fans can come play and be the first to listen to the album.”

I have a feeling she’s really a big monstrous. She’s doing all her gimmicks to make herself a hit. I can’t even imagine what happens to our kids since Farmville has been a hit to kids age 7 and above. Imagine going all Gaga or all Monstrous in their behaviour? I am really wondering if this is one of her steps to brainwash kids to be just like her one day – Mama Monster or whatever you call it. As days past, I find her songs extremely sickening while many still finds her songs extremely awesome that it deserves more airplay. I was reading on the words of her song the other day and I felt like she’s really a plastic bag despite how big she is in the entertainment industry. Will Gagaville be the next trending word or the next big thing? You probably gotta see how this Lady Monster work it through since she was Born This Way.

Today 7:56 AM PDT by PETER GICAS Jesssica Alba Jessica Alba isn’t letting a little thing like pregnancy get in the way of having some fun in the sun.

Horrible Bosses Trailer: Jennifer Aniston's Awful but Looks Great in Her Underwear

Wed., May. 11, 2011 8:15 PM PDT by NATALIE FINN

Jason Sudeikis may have reservations about killing someone as hot as Jennifer Aniston, but Charlie Day doesn’t. "I’m in, let’s kill this bitch!" the meek dental hygienist exclaims after being sexually harassed one too many times by the dentist he works for, played by Aniston—who’s sporting thick bangs and, in one lingering scene, black lace lingerie for the occasion—in the comedy Horrible Bosses. Apparently taking workers’ comp or quitting would be out of the question. MORE: Inside Jennifer Aniston’s New $5.9 Million Apartment So that’s how Day gets on board with a scheme hatched with his similarly beleaguered buddies, played by Sudeikis and Jason Bateman, who are also punching the clock for some A-one a-holes. A smarmy Kevin Spacey, imported straight from Swimming With Sharks (and most of his other movies), is the drain on Bateman, while Colin Farrell and his scene-stealing comb-over are keeping Sudeikis up at nights. Shenanigans ensue and, while we have high hopes considering the awesome cast, it’s unclear how Horrible Bosses, with its funny yet disturbing premise, is going to keep the laughs lighthearted without veering into worse-than-bad-taste territory. Jen, Colin and Kevin take a hit—or not—on July 8. Review on Horrible Bosses? What do you think? You tell me! News from E!Online

Brad Pitt takes Lesson from Naked Chef

angelina-jolie-and-brad-pitt-pictures-with-babyWe’ve never know Brad Pitt was such a gentleman. Apparently he is learning to cook for his wife Angelina Jolie and his kids. I would’ve never thought or imagine that Brad Pitt would be learning from the one and only Naked Chef. Who is Naked Chef? He is the one and only Jamie Oliver. I just realised something; good chefs these days are hard to find and a lil bossy, just some personal input. Brad Pitt is said to have begged Jamie Oliver to teach and coach him on how to cook as both him and Angelina “have a clue in the kitchen”. It is said that this duo does not even know how to operate the oven. I guess Brad felt that he has been relying too much on their staffs or maids to cook for them or they’ve been eating out or living on takeaways. If Brad turns out to be half as great as Jamie Oliver, I think Angelina Jolie will be in for a deep great treat. This probably just boost up some good image for this father. Don’t chu think so? Or my friend just added; “it makes him even hotter!”
