Guitar Hero History
The Year was 2005, and the world was about to be taken by storm by a video game unlike any other. We are talking of course about the one the only Guitar Hero for PS2. This incredible game was the first to take full advantage of a modular controller developed to mimic a Musical instrument and people loved it. Since 2005, the company that was once Harmonix was bought out by MTV Networks and would ultimately be responsible for the release of the Rock Band platform after relinquishing the Guitar Hero label to Activision.
Between the two platforms the viability of premium music downloads for video game platforms has become a reality. Since the launch of online support services across the leading platforms over 20 million tracks have been downloaded. Pair that with the increase in sales artists themselves have seen as a result of having their tracks in the game and the impact to the business of music has been unparalleled by any other musical innovation to date (even the distortion pedal!) It should also be noted that artists make more per track selling their downloads through than Guitar Hero than through iTunes.
As a whole, the series has released a total of 13 games and as of October 9, 2008, the series has sold 23 million units and earned US$1.6 billion at retail. The release of Guitar Hero 3 in North American raked in over $115 million in sales for Activision making it the biggest sales week in the history of the company and paralleling the big screen openings of movie like Iron Man, Spider Man 2 and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Unfortunately, as one would imagine those that aren't cashing in on the deal are quick to hire lawyers and point fingers. None have been so active in their litigation as legendary guitar maker Gibson. They have filed multiple suits in 2008 against not only Activision for using Gibson guitar likenesses but also the world's largest retailers (Wal-Mart, Amazon.com and a few others) for selling and distributing the games. They have also taken the extra step of going after MTV Networks stating the Rock Band is infringing upon them. In the past year, they have seen little success with any of their suits and they will likely be long and drawn out.
As gamers, we have been very fortunate that these types of suits have not been more prevalent between recording artists, music labels, managers and others in the music industry. Instead, we get to rock out to our favorite Guitar Hero games and with any luck we will have many more years of gaming to come.

Fun With Dress Up Games
Even though your children have probably talked about playing dress up games you may not know exactly what that means. You probably think it refers to wearing your mom's clothes like you used to do with your friends. That is one form of a dress up game but dress up games today are often played online and are a lot more advanced than the ones you used to play.
Understanding Dress Up Games
Paper dolls were probably your favorite form of a dress up game when you were a child. They cardboard doll wearing only a swimsuit or her underwear came with clothes you could clip on her. You might have even made your own outfits to fit the doll by tracing her shape and designing new outfits for her to wear based on her shape.
Paper dolls are different today because they are on the internet. There are at least a few hundred different online dress up games on the internet today. The websites offer a large variety of outfits and dolls to choose from unlike the paper dolls you played with when you were young. Many of the games are based on a theme like a wedding theme, a school dance theme or a celebrity theme. All you have to do is drag the clothes to the doll.
The Modern Version of Paper Dolls
You might have gotten tired of your paper dolls when you were young but that won't happen with online games because they are always changing and adding new clothes and dolls. This means the dress up games will never get old!
There are themed or specialty dress up games that do not offer a lot of clothing and accessory variety. There are also sites that have over a thousand choices or more of dolls and clothes. There are themed or specialty dress up games that do not offer a lot of clothing and accessory variety. There are also sites that have over a thousand choices or more of dolls and clothes.
How Can You Use Paper Doll Dress Up Games
What exactly is the point of the dress up games? Just like you loved dressing up your paper dolls and pretending with them, online dress up games work the same way for your children. The online games provide new opportunities as well.
Avatars - Online dress up games allow children to choose and dress a doll and save their work. They can use this image as their avatar, or the image that represents them, on a variety of different websites. They can also simply save the image and start a collection of their favorite dolls and favorite outfits. Having a doll as an avatar is much better than having a picture of yourself.
Creating Illustrations - Online dress up games allow children to illustrate their own stories by saving and printing their dress up game dolls. You can find dolls that are mythical creatures like mermaids, dolls that are modeled after Disney characters and plain dolls so you can get creative with the stories for these dolls.

What the Oscars Can Teach Us About Marketing
Watching the Oscar's last night I was reminded that entertainment is our number one export to the world. I was also amazed at the following lessons that jumped at me:
First and foremost who does not get excited about the glitz and the red carpet. The Oscars are like the Super Bowl they are bigger than us. We should all strive to put on that large of a show for our customers.
1. Control the message and presentation of the message. Engage the audience by telling a compelling story and keep them engaged.
2. Tell a compelling story. You can not bore anyone into staying involved. Keep them engaged on the edge of their seats.
3. Engage and interact with the audience. People love to be involved we want to be as one with those on the screens.
4. Market your website and text accounts. Also push your product tell them how to order.
5. Keep them asking for more. Repeat business is the key. Know you lifetime value.
6. The underdog can win. Think of Hurt Locker vs Avatar
7. Family values do matter. Think of the Blindside
8. Make them walk down a red carpet to get to your product.
9. Believe in your product and strut it out because no one else will.
If we strive to entertain and tell a compelling story with our ads we can drive higher response rates and readership rates. To quote the late David Oligvy, "You can not bore anyone into buying your product." We all want to be entertained, no one does business with those that bore them. Make your clients walk down your red carpet.

Lord Vishnu In His Incarnation Was Called Vamana
The fifth avatar of Lord Vishnu is Vamana, or "dwarf incarnation", which occurred in Treta Yuga (the second age), long before the events described in Ramayana, and in strong association to the king Mahabali (some call him Maveli or Bali). Vamana is the first Avatar of Vishnu appearing in the completely human form.
Mahabali was a king of the Indian region presently known as Kerala (the Indian southern state bordering with Tamil Nadu), who stands behind the most popular legend - the Onam legend, which is a festival in celebration of the king Mahabali, who returns to the state of Kerala from underground every year.
Mahabali was Asura, but he was very religious and performed Vedic sacrifices. He was a great devotee of Lord Vishnu. The king was wise, judicious and generous. He brought the era of wealth during his reign. Everybody was happy; there was no caste or class discrimination. The rich and the poor received equal treatment. There was no crime, no corruption. People did not even lock their doors, as there were no thieves in the kingdom. But because he was a descendant of Diti, who was a rakshasa, the Devas did not consider him to be safe.
Mahabali (also popularly called Maveli or Onathappan) is believed to have ruled in South India before the Ramayana event; and his empire is believed to have extended from the Vindhyas in the north to the far out in the south.
Asuras did not worship Vishnu. To test the King, Lord Vishnu disguised Himself as a poor Brahmin boy called Vamana. He came to the Kingdom of Mahabali as a dwarf Brahmin - the Vamana Avatar. Vishnu said he was a poor Brahmin and asked for a piece of land. The generous King said that he could have as much land as he wanted. The Brahmin said that he just wanted as much land as could be covered by his three steps. The king was surprised to hear such a humble request, and insisted that the boy ask for more. But the Brahmin again said the same thing.
Just as king Mahabali agreed to grant the land to a dwarf who would mark it with his three steps, Vamana began to expand and eventually increased himself to the size of cosmic proportions. With his first step the Brahmin boy covered the whole of earth and with the other step he covered the whole of the skies. He then asked king Mahabali where is the space for him to keep his third foot. The king realized that he was no ordinary Brahmin. Vishnu then offered him to go to Patala, which is a nether world. King Mahabali accepted this boon but asked to be allowed to visit Kerala once a year to make sure his people are doing well. Lord Vishnu agreed.
The Onam festival is celebrated mainly in the south Indian state of Kerala; it is perhaps the only major Hindu festival that celebrates the reign of an asura king, although a very good one.

Pandanda Review - Is This Virtual World Safe For Your Child?
Pandanda is an online virtual world targeted towards children aged 6-14. As members of Pandanda, kids can create a customized avatar, play games and chat with other members, alter their avatar's environment, win awards, earn coins, and use the said coins to unlock features of the game. The site provides a safe, cute online space for kids to interact with other children in a controlled environment.
In terms of features, Pandanda is like any other run of the mill virtual worlds. Children can customize their own avatar based on variations of a Red Panda (hence the name of the site) and alter the design of its "home" (a tree house). The main focus of Pandanda is to earn virtual "coins" either through games or even buying them outright, and using these coins to unlock various features such as clothing items, furniture for their avatar's home, etc. Although Pandanda is free at the moment, once its Beta period expires, parents can be expected to pay for access to the virtual world.
The artwork and design of Pandanda, despite being cute, is hardly extraordinary or very imaginative. Compared to some of the other, more popular virtual worlds, one can even call it somewhat Pedestrian. In an online virtual world designed specially for grade schoolers, the artwork is one of the major draws, and in this respect, Pandanda is a disappointment.
The concept of virtual coins and awards can be somewhat handy in teaching kids financial concepts, although this educational component is lacking in outright focus. The main draw of Pandanda for kids would be the fun of creating and customizing their character and its virtual "home". The site has a heavy focus on internet safety, and through several games, teaches kids the value of safe internet behavior. Since chatting with other players is an integral part of the Pandanda experience, there is a strong, safe chat mode that filters out any bad words or swear language. Pandanda's content itself is finely tuned for young children, and you won't find any references to sex, bad language, drinking, drugs, or smoking.
Pandanda is currently in Beta mode. All your children's earnings in the form of coins or awards will be reverted back to zero once this Beta mode is over. After that, you may be expected to pay for access to Pandanda in the form of an 'Elite' membership. However, Pandanda does not offer any innovative features or attractive artwork/design that might make paying for access to it a lucrative proposition. The cookie-cutter tableau of customized characters, safe chat mode, games and awards is hardly unique to Pandanda, and can be had in several other online virtual worlds for free. By deleting all your kids' awards and coins upon completion of the Beta period, Pandanda's approach seems to be to extort money from parents by hoarding their kids' hard earned rewards. A high unsavory monetization approach like leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
Other than this extortion-monetization model, other things to look out for in Pandanda is its safe chat mode. While the filter does a good job of hiding/removing bad words in the English language, players in Pandanda tend to be from dozens of different countries, and the ability of the filter to remove bad words in other languages remains questionable. Having said that, Pandanda does an excellent job of giving parents strong control over their children's account. Parents are required to give an email address at the time of registration, and can change chat mode, or cancel the account at any time.
All in all, Pandanda offers a fun, lightweight distraction for your kid, with cute graphics and an easy to navigate interface. As an online virtual world, it provides a safe environment for your kids to interact with other children from across the globe. However, their membership model is as yet undetermined, and the likely model of 'Elite' memberships seems quite unsavory on paper. Unless Pandanda adds some more innovative features, paying for access to it remains a very unattractive proposition.

Create Zwinky Right Now
Zwinkys, of course, are the MySpace Profile Cartoon Avatars that are sweeping the social networking community by storm. Basically, in order to let the world know who you are at a glance you choose a zwinky cartoon character.
You can add a zwinky toolbar to your web browser, to your instant messenger, to your system tray and to your MySpace profile. They are customizable depending on your mood for the day.
There's no better way to chat than hollering back and forth with a coolio zwinky representing.
One day, if you're a guy, you may want to be the blonde jock with the matching camo tank top and cargo shorts and the next you may want the vest and sweet shades. And if you're a girl, today you may feel like the pretty, big-eyed girl with the capri pants and tube top and tomorrow, the low-key girl with the baby-doll tee and sandles.
Oh, and don't forget to accessorize. It's necessary. Everything is up to the user, which is the beauty of this lovely time waster. You get thousands of options for expressing yourself.
All you need to do is download a zwinky tool and everything is basically automatic for you. Who is this zwinky phenomenon for?
If you have no clue what an avatar is, zwinkys are probably not for you.
If you spend more time on MySpace than you do sleeping, then zwinkys are definitely for you.
If you have a daily planner, wear sensible shoes and go to bed before midnight, then zwinkys ain't your bag.
If you can roll with 32 applications open on your laptop with no problem and think rules were made to be broken, then, yes, baby, zwinkys and you are a "friends-forever" perfect match.

The Art of Giving a Toast
Today one of my clients is throwing one of her good friends a 40th birthday party. She actually used to date him and now they're good friends. She has the perfect dress, has supplied the beautiful country club for the party and now she was considering whether or not she should also give a host!
My answer to her? ALWAYS give a toast if you can!!!
First of all, whoever is throwing the party has a responsibility of welcoming people to the event. It's nice to publicly introduce yourself and welcome everyone. It also establishes your credibility when you speak in front of people
Next, it's an opportunity to show off! When people see you completely composed in a somewhat stressful situation, they're impressed. Little do they know how much preparation when on behind the scenes. You can make it look like you pulled the toast out of thin air!
When writing a toast, there are a few things to do that will make your job easier.
How do you want to come across? Do you want the toast to be fun, lighthearted and funny or do you want it serious? This will help you determine the "story" that you share during the toast.
How do you feel about the person? What do they mean to other people? How do people respond to them as individuals? Are they funny, articulate, smart, a great dresser or a terrific story teller? Be specific and write down all of the adjectives that you can to describe this person.
What is a funny story or a really great story that you can tell about this person? Is there some secret passion that this person has that causes them to spend excessive time on something? Was there a time that the two of you were together that impressed you or made you laugh? What story can you think of that EXPLAINS what this person is to you? This can be lighthearted or serious, depending upon the tone that you want to create in the room and with the toast.
Lastly, what does this person mean to YOU? Do you want to honor them? Do you love them? Do you admire them?
After you've put together your toast it should look something like this:
"Welcome to the 40th Birthday party for our friend Clyde. It's great to see everyone here. For those who know Clyde, you'll know that he is a determined, fun and successful individual. But there is something that you might NOT know about Clyde!!
Tell funny or poignant story here.... And when the laughter dies down..
"So tonight, we wish to honor you Clyde, for who you are to all of us. We appreciate you, we love you and we wish for you many more happy and healthy years to come."
The story that you tell is extremely important. But even MORE important is how often you practice this speech! Practice it in front of the mirror dozens of times until the words role off your tongue gracefully. Tape yourself as you practice and rewrite it as you go along. Practice visualizing yourself in the room beforehand, and practice looking at people in the eyes so during your speech you'll be able to do that with ease. During the last part, when you're bringing honor to the person, look at that person RIGHT in the eyeballs with as much sincerity as you can muster up, to let them know that you genuinely do care.
If you do all of these things, you'll blow the people away. The response you'll get is "wow, I wish I could just pull something like this out of my hat" and "that was such a great toast... good job".
No one has to know that you practiced over and over until it felt right. No one has to know that you changed the toast dozens of times until you got the story right. But what you and everyone else WILL know is that after you've given the speech and knocked it out of the park, your status will be elevated.
By presenting an incredible toast you will have created a great memory for the person you are honoring. And THAT is who its all about, after all!

Farm Town - Create Your Avatar & Become a Prosperous Farmer With Many Acres of Prime Land
Farm Town is an innovative Flash-based multiplayer game that is normally played through Facebook and MySpace. It is one of the most popular games on Facebook, trailing behind only the likes of FarmVille and Mafia Wars. What is remarkable about the game is that its growth has consisted entirely of word-of-mouth. The makers of the game, Slashkey, have not done any marketing for the game whatsoever, yet by July 27th, 2009, the game had over 15 million users.
"What am I supposed to do in this game?" The basic premise of the game involves creating your very own avatar who will be your player in the game.
Next, you purchase a plot of land that you can use to grow crops, raise livestock and all of the myriad other chores that farmers do.
The game encourages cooperation amongst the farmers. For example, it will cost 50% less if you have another person plow your fields or harvest your crops for you. You will also get a 25% bonus if you have another person do the work. In this way, you can build a sort of friendship between you and the people that you add to your buddy list.
As you earn more money from your crops and livestock sales, you are able to purchase better seeds, get better equipment, and purchase more land to use. You gain levels in the process of farming and higher levels also unlock new things to use and activities to do.
Farm Town is VERY popular: many people often wonder why such a simple like Farm Town could become so insanely popular. Below are a couple of reasons why the game is so popular:
* Goals: Like many games, as you play Farm Town you will come across goals that need to be achieved to get to the next level and coins that you need to earn to purchase a coveted item. This is what keeps most people playing.
* Community: The ability to have other people help you on your farm - and vice versa - is a great way to make new friends and establish long lasting bonds.
Farm Town is one of the most popular games on Facebook, and for good reason. The game will keep you playing for hours on end because of the constant need to attain the next level and because of the close friendships you can make within the community.
