It’s really that cold huh?!
I am in our living room sitting amidst a sea of boxes..most of which are still full. we said that we would unpack this weekend but I don’t see how that will happen.

We need to go to Ikea later and by a desk and chair for myself and I can imagine us getting loads of other things too..bang goes that neat little nest egg
Here it snowed like crazy yesterday – I went out to open a bank account – Aurimas my buddy gave me a lift – thanks mate  

When I came out of the bank I felt like I was back in Vilnius for a moment except that everybody and everything stops here as they’re not used to it the way people are in Lithuania.
Anyway mesogio now has its new headquarters in Brussels now and even if that means receiving a brief from a cardboard box – well that’s the way it’s got to be
Back with more soon

Semiocast has just released global rankings on the usage and popularity of twitter.

Our Dutch friends have just managed to edge past the Japanese by a sneaky, extra 3% and now occupy Her Majesty’s top spot!

Spain comes in at 3rd place while France and Germany are below Brazil, Turkey and Argentina.

Here’s a snapshot below:

I came across a very amusing post from Kosmopolito and thought to share it with you.
Kosmopolito came up with a number of tips for journalists writing about the EU (or simply ‘Brussels’).
Here it is: story

Plenty of companies, NGOs and public institutions use video for their web activities nowadays. Some don’t do it too well. 

These entities believe that putting together a melange of all their successes into a 5 minute video, that potential clients and partners will immediately run to their screen, save the word file they were just working on, put their feet up and try and figure out the mess they have just been shown.

The simple truth is, is that they simply do not have time for that. And that’s not an obnoxious statement, nor is it merely my opinion. Here look at this.

A recent – smart example of how effective video can be presented over the web, in a nutshell, with clear timeline usage – is a company mesogio have worked with in the past – JWT. 

Take a look at the simplicity or the graphics and see if you remember anything at the end of the 3 something minute video.Or perhaps you’d like to fast forward to the part of the year you are most interested in.

here’s the vid…

And while we’re on the subject of online time – have you got some for another very cool vid by JWT with some predictions for 2012? It’s worth it. Enjoy!

As of 2012, mesogio will provide clients, readers and friends with interesting information, opinions and insights from the world of communication…

Before we leave you though, let me share some history with you from our friends over at Mashable – about advertising. An infographic – mesogio are great developers of these by the way – can better demonstrate below.

Have a great 2012 !
