Brooklyn Bunny
Brooklyn Bunny is a 24h live webcam of a soft white bunny from the hard streets of Williamsburg Brooklyn, New York. His name is Roebling, he loves carrots and lettuce and transmits soft and soothing signals. The DresserJohnson design firm created Brooklyn Bunny and a cute merchandising with Logo t-shirt, pink post cards and stickers, magnets, buttons and also dashboard widget. The co-founder Kevin Dresser said the viewers watch the cam to relieve the stress during the work week. This project is an example of connecting with people (and rabbits) via technology, and maybe a kind of 2.0 voyeurism.
You can follow the easy life of Roebling on bklynbunny.com. And also on Facebook and Twitter.

Superbabbotv
La grande crisi ha messo in pericolo anche il Natale… I festeggiamenti rischiano di saltare e gli alberi di Natale di rimanere spogli e senza doni alle loro radici. Proprio in questo clima di timore i primi avvistamenti, i primi movimenti e qualche lettera; per ora solo voci di corridoio, una sigla (SB) e una promessa “presto mi vedrai in azione”… ed ecco che una nuova speranza si accende! superbabbotv.com
Dimmi come ci riesci – Samsung U10
From dawn to late at night we entertain many passions. Some relate and remain bound to our personal sphere. These are the ones that give us strength and make us happy. Others, instead, become a profession, and make our dreams come true. In both cases, what it is important is to keep moving, looking for inspiration.
The guys beyond the “Dimmi come ci riesci” initiative asked a running enthusiast, a creative, a skater, a biker and a deejay to tell us how they manage to live their passion and, most importantly, how they manage to be so good at doing this. They got their answers in 100 seconds! From today onwards, on the website www.u10.it, it will be possible to tell “how one manages” to live passions and interests fully within the space of a day.
To take part in this initiative you can:
- tweet with Samsung, telling us how you manage to fulfill your passions, whilst looking for inspiration and inventing your day. By inserting the tag #u10 on your tweets it is possible to display them on the widget.
- submit your 100-second video to Samsung. The best ones will be shown (on the website).
Thanks to and with the help of these interactions, They will be drawing day by day the skyline of an imaginary city.
