Let me start by saying this: No, I haven’t got a clue what they are talking about either!
Right, now we’ve got that out of the way we can focus on the viral at hand. YES, a satellite television network in Israel, was looking for a creative way to inform the good people of Israel of their new service – HD TV.
Ad agency McCann Digital were hired and executed their job in a brilliant, if somewhat unexpected manner. Long, curly sideburns, black hat, Jewish traits by definition are matched with silly dancing and YMCA. Which are not so Jewish.
Anyway, the end result is hilarious. Even though I can’t understand a word of it.
The San Francisco-based group The Richter Scales created this hilarious Silicon Valley music video, sung to the tune of Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire”. The web 2.0 bubble video really cracked up Robert Scoble: “I have Diet Coke coming out of my nose this was so funny” he wrote on his blog Scobelizer. Is there a new bubble coming?

At December 12, 2007 MIT Club Northern California is doing a Panel Discussion on Social Lending in Palo Alto San Francisco. I really would like to go but can’t. And if Richard Branson taps into peer2peer banking or social lending, banks should at least attend this event!
So, banks like Citibank and ING Direct book a flight and be there. You should understand this revolution and take a closer look. Also look at the power Zecco Share, the smart concept of social trading community Zecco, with Zecco Share. Power to the united consumers?!
Banks, please learn that louder shouting through annoying commercials won’t help. Leave that shouting for money to Cuba Gooding Jr. and Tom Cruise in the great movie Jerry Maguire
