The best use of social API publishing like this won´t rankle people or produce hoity debate about privacy, examples like this will just click with the target audience innately,especially in such strong fan environments. Like that cited rising bar of Apple products, once they love you, you can step out of commodityland and yield that inelastic goodness that super brands die for. Hats off to BBH London (disclaimer: ´m in their *black* book +10yrs ago as former employee) and the homage to Mr H in the mirror in the headline image of this post with 50cent is duly noted.

I think it is magic. I’m a jaded musician and I was blown away. BBH labs continues to blow the doors off my expectations. I’m not a fan of many companies but I’m watching very closely. (BTW, congrats on the Cadillac deal!) The Oasis album launch is a video I loved showing in my most recent class.

It doesn’t seem to be working for me. Just stuck on the first screen, connected via facebook ID… nothing.

I agree with you Fran.

Sure, there’s a role for (& kudos in) being first (nothing’s changed there), but there’s also a role for being good, trying to be the best, and creating something that’s relevant.

I love this work and am deeply envious of the BBH London team who produced it. Great stuff.

I guess that’s my point RT. (My first point, specifically).

This work doesn’t feel like magic because it uses the very latest tech.

It’s feels like magic (to me) because it takes something i love / hate and gives it a surprising twist.

My premise is that pure tech novelty isn’t very magical for a public suffering innovation fatigue.

Nice idea, but quintessential example of using technology that has already been used several times, much less brandedly — sometimes with Facebook Connect (the wanking joke one in December; the Swedish “this person will save the world” one before that; the French one which modeled your image in actual 3D last summer) and so any delusions of “magic” are misplaced. Nice design tho!
