My ooVoo Day, Video chat with your favorite bloggers

My ooVoo Day is going to be a week-long event beginning February 10th. During this time you will be able to video chat with some high profile podcasters, bloggers and some girl with an i in front of her name. You will be able to do this using ooVoo.

ooVoo which officially launched back in June of 2007 gives you the ability to video chat with up to 6 people at a time. It has many more features though then just video. Personally I have been using it because you are able to make free phone calls which is saving me lots of money since all I have right now is a cell phone. Some other features of ooVoo are the ability to send video messages and files. Oh they also have text chatting as well for all of us who don’t want to be on camera at 10 in the morning. Feel free to add me on ooVoo my username is smojo12.

But lets get back to My ooVoo Day…Some of my favorite internet people are going to be participating in this. People like Chris Brogan, Irina Slutsky, iJustine and the list goes on and on. Being able to interact with some of these people is going to a fun time and I hope everyone joins in on the fun. Just the fact that you will have 6 video chatters at once will make it pretty interesting. Below is all linkage to join the fun.

Top 3 Super Bowl Commercials of 2008

There are many reasons people watch the watch the Super Bowl. One popular reason these days is just to watch the commercials. I’ve noticed an increase in the amount of people who could careless about the actual football game going on and are just tuned in to see the latest beer or car ad. So for all those people interested in the commercials I will give you my top 3 of 2008. I would have liked to have done a top 10 but I really didn’t like that many commercials this year. Although I thought the game was really exciting.

- 1 Bridgestone Tires: Alice Cooper & Richard Simmons

When this ad came on and I saw the car going towards a deer I thought it was going to be a boring commercial. Just another car ad showing off how great there traction control is. Then you see the car heading towards Alice Cooper and it got a little more exciting. Once I saw Richard Simmons I busted out laughing. For some reason I was really hoping the car was going to his Richard Simmons.


- 2 T-Mobile: Barkley Adds Dwayne Wade to MyFaves

Barkley and Wade have been doing these T-Mobile commercials for a while and finally for the superbowl ad Dwayne finally gets put into Charle’s fave 5. Barkley proceeds to call Wade at all hours in this humorous commercial.

- 3 Tide-to-Go Superbowl Commercial, My Talking Stain Ad

This Super Bowl commercial shows a man job interviewing with a stain beside his tie on his white shirt. Every time he speaks, the stain talks loudly over him, so the interviewer is distracted. Commercial ends featuring the Tide-to-Go pen, to remove stains before they out talk you.

Grand Central Stands Still (for 5 minutes)

Improv Everywhere is a group based in New York City who are known for going on missions to “cause scenes”. Some of the most notable missions they have performed have been the No Pants Subway Ride and No Shirt Abercrombie & Fitch mission.

Their latest mission happened in a very high traffic and busy location in NYC. Grand Central Terminal has around 500k people walking through it everyday. For IE’s latest stunt they gathered up around 200 people and headed into Grand Central. At the same exact moment all 200 people froze in place as if time had just stood still. This lasted for 5 minutes as just about every commuter who walked by had a confused look on their face. I’ve been following Improv Everywhere and a few flash mob groups and it really makes me wish that we had a group like this in the Phoenix area.
