left-click was invited to have a presence at the recent Twist Fair, a twice annual alternative craft fair in Northampton MA. We ended up coming up with an exciting way to integrate attendees experience of actually being at the event with the event's social media presence, driving a lot of traffic to the event's Facebook page in the process. We achieved this by taking attendees photos at the event, editing the photos to look like attendees were actually in a number of different bizarre locations and posting the pictures to Facebook throughout the day. Read more to see some of the photos we took, hear how we did it and how it went!

When Apple shut down the website Lala.com, I wasn't sure life was worth living. Seems dramatic (yeah, it is), but the hole that not having the service left in my routine was felt almost daily for years, much to my dismay. (And that of my friends, who've all heard me bemoan Apple for its corporate pirate style shutdown of the service many a time.) What could cause Apple to take such violent action against a competitor? Simply put, it was an iTunes killer. Lala was a music streaming service. You could stream any of the music in their comprehensive library for a fee, at a much cheaper rate than it cost to buy music off of iTunes. All these years I've wondered why no one stepped in to fill the void Lala left. Now, someone finally has. And then some. Someone better buy Steve Jobs a conciliatory cake, because Spotify has come to the U.S.
