The summer of '05

The onset of summer is accompanied by the cola-wars with the sort of advertising that is aimed at hitting the competitor below the belt. While watching ODI between between India and Pakistan today, I saw the Mountain Dew's commercial, a spoof of the ThumsUp Mount Everest Challenge, clear mud slinging at its brand ambassador. First blood.

It remains to be seen how long will it take for Coca Cola to launch a new Sprite campaign as a counter measure. It will come, that is for sure! And yes, the Sprite one's are often more interesting than what Pepsi's agency guys come up with.

Firefox Extension for coComment!

I have put up the Firefox Extension for coComment! I and a few friends have been using it for a day now and it seems to work fine! Download coComment! for Firefox coComment! for Firefox allows you to coComment! from the right-click context menu and is of great help especially when commenting in a pop-up window where you can't access your bookmarks. Also, with this extension you will not have to move from the comment area to your bookmarks to click the 'bookmarklet' and then back, before you click the submit button on the blog. With this extension, you can directly move on to the submit button after writing the comment and merely hit the right click 'activating' coComment before submitting the post. Simple Fitts' law and it makes your browsing experience a great deal better and faster. Let me know what you think of it!
