So ever wondered if Facebook was released back in the 1960s how would they advertise it? Here is how:

This Arguably Is The Best Mobile App Promotion Video You Will Ever See [Making Included]
Special Effects guru Andrew Kramer came up with an idea for a simple iPhone app called Demon Cam and went on to make an extravagant promotion video as the backstory as well as tutorial for it.
It’s brilliant. I doubt that anyone else will ever top this effort, especially to promote a 99 cent mobile app.
I strongly suggest you to watch it in full screen. Switch the resolution to 720p. Buffer it if you have to, but this deserves to be seen in High Definition.
It’s high time companies start taking social networking seriously
The social networking revolution is not just for single users who want to spend more and more time on their computers and mobile devices. If tapped properly, its has great potential for consumer goods and service companies to get closer to their customers and bring up their brand value. At the same time, if not used properly, it can also be a huge disaster (as is evident from the image above). Lately, many companies have tried to get into social mode in order to provide customer service to their customers. In my opinion, except for a few, all others have failed.
What I am going to suggest here is my perception of what ideal customer service & feedback social networking option should be. I hope that someone who can call the shots within the companies reads this and implements it.
Did You Know That Bullet-Time Existed Before “The Matrix”! [Video]
We’ve always associated bullet time sequences with “The Matrix” but today I found that the concept was actually used before the movie! Obviously it wasn’t as effective and hence never left the kind of impression that was left by Neo bending backwards to dodge those bullets.
The trick was first used in the following, noticeably weird, commercial for Smirnoff Vodka in 1997-98.
