It’s Friday!

As is tradition, on each and every Friday, we like to round up our favourite discoveries from our week on the web. Thought provoking, funny, absurd, tear jerking, we’ve got them all! Let us begin…

This week we’ll start with one of the greatest conversations ever to have taken place on Twitter. There’s currently a trend in the social media departments of some of our well known consumer facing brands which takes customer engagement (not necessarily service) to a whole new level and it has certainly caught peoples attention. This particular thread all started with the tweet below. Click the image to see the whole thing!

Next up is a video that went viral earlier in the year, but it seems to be doing the rounds again and is more than worthy of a place in this list. It’s the story of 17 year old Zach Sobiech, and it’s one of the saddest yet beautiful and inspiring things you’ll see for a while.

Next up is a collection of experimental self-portrait photographs from photographer, Kyle Thompson . He drew inspiration for the project from his anxiety which makes it difficult for him to communicate with other people and the results are stunning. Click the image to see the whole collection.

Next up is our viral of the week… This video by Degage Ministries was posted online on 7th November and in just a week has had nearly 14 million hits!

This next collection of images is a little slice of genius, aptly named ‘guns replaced with thumbs up’. Need I say any more? Click the image to see the entire collection.

 

I bet you’ve never heard the Russian police singing Daft Punk? Well all that is about to change and I don’t really know what else to say. But whatever they were trying to do seems to have worked, as the video has had nearly two and half million hits on YouTube and 37,630 likes compared to just 1,647 dislikes. Well played Russia, well played.

Well that pretty much wraps things up and that can only mean one thing… It’s nearly the weekend! Look around you, see all those people staring blankly at their computer screens, sinking deeper into their swivel chairs? Well in a few hours chances are that some of them will be making out with each other on the dance floor in Infernos in a sambuca fuelled Friday night office romance.  It could even be you…

Have a great weekend!
