  • from my perspective there are two types of t-shirt acquisitions: a) you need cloths b) you want to spread a message.

    i would think most of the fashion brand t-shirts fall mainly into a) with a little bit of c) you want to be part of a superior group

    most of the funny t-shirts and band-t-shirts fall into category b) and basically you also place yourself into a certain group but into a smaller, more specific one. the big fashion brands are arbitrary so many people can identify with them. they don’t want to be associated with a real message, because then some people would be excluded from wearing that brand.

    so the t-shirt presented as exhibit 1) certainly falls into category b). but i really can not come up with a message you want to send by wearing the t-shirt: it’s not the “font-nerd” it’s not the “web-dev-nerd” or anything like this. how big is the overlap of star-wars-fans and font-awesome users?

    i think at the end it’s just a marketing department that jumps on the latest bandwagon of internet memes in the hope that they can gain some popularity.

    they could produce t-shirts that are fun to wear and spread the brand more subtle, but in this case i completely agree with op: this is a very strange campaign. and i also think that the comments here comparing this with fashion brands completely miss the point.











  • First of all: Do they want to make real live friends? having only internet friends doesn’t sound too bad, does it?

    they have tried to socialize in a fishbowl event but they weren’t able to get a friend there as I feel it.

    you don’t get a friends from a single event. give it more time. much more time. some other comment mention hobbies or groups, and i think this is the key: you don’t go to those events because you want to make friend, but because of you interest and you make friends by accident. Don’t pressure it!

    Even the internet archive is nothing in comparison to the image data used for street view.

    honest curiosity, don’t want to flame war: do you have numbers for that?

    stitching is no longer a requirement because of 360° cameras, is it? it could also be made on the client side if really needed. if people can use josm to contribute to osm, they can use some other software for stitching?!

    have you seen that the internet archive has also quite high res books scans and videos?

    if your aiming for covering every small street of the whole world tomorrow, you are right: it won’t work. but nothing would stop to start with a single city or a region?

    lets agree to disagree :-)
