We proudly bring you our second ever installment of Cool Stuff From Around the Web! Enjoy!

Adam: Facebook has finally rolled out Timeline for Brand pages!  Here are some great examples of what can be done.  Which one is your favorite?

You know how when you’re watching the Oscars and stars are stopped on the red carpet and all the journalists are shouting, “who are you wearing?” Well, that’s not curiosity on the part of the reporter, it’s an advertisement. Quite often the gowns and jewels the stars are wearing are borrowed from the designers who created them. Some designers even pay celebrities to wear their stuff. This is an example of non-traditional advertising at its finest. The fashion industry has built up a huge platform for advertising by utilizing celebrities.

It's Friday, people!  You know what that means! It's cool stuff from around the web day!

Andre: Imagine a dance floor...made of iPad 3's! I'm feeling like a little disco right now!

Becky: We go for lots of walks during lunchtime here at GLAD WORKS. That's how we stay fit and how we plan to enjoy the Spring weather headed our way.  We can't all be New Yorkers, you know!

Today we’d like to talk to you about memes (that’s pronounced Meeeem and not Me-me, btw). Memes are everywhere these days, and most people know what they are, but does anyone ever stop to think about what they mean? We saw an amazing article by Aaron Saenz at Singularity Hub and it really made us think about the deeper meaning behind a meme.

* This article originally appeared at iPhone Life where Adam is a featured blogger.

When I saw this article over at Mashable, I said to myself “I must try these immediately!”  Especially after talking about how much I use my iPhone camera in my last post! How could I not share my filmographic adventures with you, iPhone Life-ers?

Andre: Google is in a little bit of hot water again!  According to this report, they're facing a new probe by U.S. and federal authorities plus the European Commission for bypassing privacy settings in Apple’s Safari browser in order to track users.  These investigations can have Google tied up in legal battles and huge fines for violating user's privacy. 

Last week we talked about memes and how they’re becoming increasingly important for all kinds of reasons.

Heck, we even participated in one!

Wasn’t that a blast, GLAD WORKS friends?

Hi GLAD WORKS friends!  It's Friday--time for Cools Stuff From Around the Web!  We've got some great ones for you this week!

Andre: I would absoultuely love to spend a day photograhing some of these unusual homes.  The house made of stone is my favorite! Which one would you most like to live in?

So you guys have heard of Pinterest by now, right?  It’s recently become one of the top social networks. Click here if you’re not yet hip to the Pinterest vibe and from now on, do try to keep up with the new hotness. We can’t tell you about everything.

Happy Friday GLAD WORKS friends! Our team has put together a collection of links to some great stuff from around the web this week.  Enjoy!
