By Renato Andrade Another edition of the “Results ON Day” took place in São Paulo, this time on the theme of social media. Besides for the latest tendencies, research, and case studies about social networks (Twitter, Orkut, Facebook, blogs, etc), Gen Y’s behavior and life online was a topic of frequent discussion. Here, I’ve made [...]

By Flávia Vianna Once upon a time there was a little girl named @littleredridinghood. Little red riding hood’s mother walked by her daughter’s bedroom and warned: Honey, your grandmother is sick. Let’s go visit her? So @littleredridinghood sadly glanced at the chaos of her flickering AIM, MSN, and twitter messages. She didn’t respond to her [...]

By Tatiana Kielberman In the last weeks a phenomenon has swept over social networks in Brazil. Nothing unexpected, especially because as social-network-addicts know, it’s impossible to predict what crazily cool thing they’ll come up with next. Allowing Orkut contacts (currently the most popular social network in Brazil) to be transferred to Facebook, is a monumental [...]

By Eline Kullock As I was growing up, the act of flirtation took place “live.” For the most part, this is not something Generation Y can really relate to. We got to see magic lighting up the other’s glance, the sparkling eyes, and the instant “click” that seemed to produce such intense passions. Live, we [...]

By Ines Schinazi Like little peeping toms, peering through television screens, mesmerized by the dancing photography burning from somewhere within the screen. The reality show hits the human mind, like a burglar with a baseball bat, knocking us unconscious. Leaving us ignited with an almost-foreign animalistic desire. We cry out for more and more… Feeding [...]
