Campaign Magazine:
I saw this ad in campaign and it stood out because of the heading and then it goes on, "Specific objections include feeling patronised (that's a bit like talking down to someone)" which is definitely my kind of humour. I'm not 100% sure on what it's advertising, I think it's to get design creatives to work on something that will be judged, but it doesnt really give a lot of detail.
Google Plus+
Also in this campaign issue there is a two-page spread on Google Plus+. The idea that google plus is going to overtake facebook and twitter is something that interested me during my research for professional studies presentation, so I did some more research into it. I have seen on my facebook feed of people getting fed up with facebook changes and are looking to go elsewhere, but the fact that it was said on facebook argues to reason that facebook is still the main social site as to where people get a hold of information, or broadcast it. I'm a little cynical to the fact that facebook will be overtaken, but then I suppose MySpace and Bebo were the older generation of facebook, and they got overtook. I'm more of a twitter user myself, but Google is known for it's search engine, email and maps, not socialising, so I'm not sure they'd be able to take away from that and make it have that image at the same time. Also whilst researching I got a little confused as google as so many different branches that it's hard to grasp what it's actually trying to achieve, but maybe I've just not looked hard enough.
Although as it says in one of the articles I read (here) Google has combined with such brands as YouTube to make navigation and posting easier, so maybe it will? Guess I'll just have to wait and see.
