Remember Apple's Switch campaign? Yeah? Then you'll get a kick out of this. :)

Obi's pretty awesome, hm? (But thank Werner for the brilliant idea!) What do you think... should we start a contest? Do any of you want to explain why you switched to Zaadz?
Hee. I can't stop laughing? Obi? You're the best.

UPDATE: Here's another cool Zaadz Switch video from Diiiirrty Steve :)

~ totally love it ^.^
Haha. Thanks guys. I've got to give props to Dirty Steve for editing it (he made it hot). And I'd also like to thank the Academy…
~ oh yes the academy… of course… but obi u got to learn how to pronounce zaadz correctly ^.^
I like the bandana.
nice dude!
Great ad. Perfect!
TRULY an ACTION of assuming RESPONSIBILITY - you should ADD this to your LIST Siona - as also Martin's Give Responsibility a Chance
- as to why I switched to ZAADZ - I DIDN'T - because although I had been monitoring ALL the social networking web-site activity for years - including Reuters' - ZAADZ IS the first & ONLY ONE that I WISH to share with.

Ditto. Big Ditto. (apart from the Reuter's bit).
I always felt slightly ill when I stumbled across MySpace et al.
but for some reason….
When I found Zaadz, I went for it. I suspect it's because you asked some big questions, and I'm a sucker for those.
(Actually I suspect the reasons are many - which are now becoming clear to me. I'll write a blog on it all soon).
But I'm afraid I can't tell you a switch story, because, like Michael, I don't have one.
Zaadz is IT, and always has been.
LOL… okay I'm guilty of being on MySpace….but I love Zaadz. It's an entire universe apart.
Kudo's! Nicely done. Cracked me up!!
Obi and Steve, you guys rocked it. Being a Mac-aholic/consultant, I always love the Apple ads, and you both took them to the next level. I never switched, I was just lucky enough to see the light here first!
Great job, and congrats. Now, what else can we explore and explode?
PB&J

Superb blend of creativity!
Obi & Steve is so funny and cool.
CONGRATS!

Amazing! Think of all the times a great idea arises from your awareness, only to let it fade away. It was only a week ago, I met Siona and I casually mentioned the idea of the switcher ads, and viola! two exist and yes, I think a contest is a great idea! Our ability to share our thoughts and watch them proliferate among thousands of zaadsters in such a brief amount of time, reminds me of what Teilhard de Chardin, the great Jesuit mystic, said.
“By the end of the 20th century we would realize Indira’s net. The earth would grow itself a new skin. It would be a vast thinking membrane, encircling the entire world, which would one day contain all our thoughts, our dreams, and our experiences.”
Moral of the story: Don't be afraid to share those ideas! You never know where they might manifest.
Namaste,
werner

Fun videos!
I didn't switch either. My Space bothered me to much to join. Zaadz is where its at!
MySpace….what's that? ;-)
I liked the ads…& that smile when Obi said “flexible, very flexible” <big grin!!>
Obi…you were great.
Yup, I agree, the I switched to Zaadz concept is cool, Obi and Dirty Steve are indeed wonderful, and Warner is right on with his, “Our ability to share our thoughts and watch them proliferate among thousands of zaadsters in such a brief amount of time” is the awesome result of this day and age of instant communication!
Being committed to social change, I can see the day when creative people like these guys (all of us) can meet and mingle with all the tools, technology, mentors, marketing and distribution channels in a venue designed for one thing… To make a difference locally and globally with our media and edutainment experiences. A new kind of meeting ground and creative clubhouse.
I must admit, I have a head start on creating such a collaboratorium. Creativity Cafe is the venue concept I've been working toward since 1980. I would so love it, if any of you would be interested to join me on the manifestation team? Wouldn't it be great to go to a club near your house (or anywhere on Earth) and know people the caliber of those here on Zaadz would be found, all in alignment to bring about social change and taking action - with PRONOIA in mind?
I have been envisioning and manifesting various aspects of such a sanctuary for sanity. A place to go where I would no longer feel alien. I would be entering a public home of inspiration, love, facilitated networking (like here on Zaadz only physicalized), in a creative play space where “Stranger's, are just friend who haven't yet met!” (like here at Zaadz); to forge collaborations and produce art/images/TV/experiences, that help us unlock self imposed restrictions and create positive media and edutainments for the world to feast on!
Sorry, I'm rambling again… Will somebody please help me?
Good rambling I'd say.
I've wanted something similar for a long time. Here in Seattle they had some folks that were doing something similar…undoubtedly w/scheduling & the like…it didn't stick. I have found that between ecstatic dancing when I can & having impromptu mtgs w/many friends at one time (normally about once a mth), that's where/when I seem to be able to combine all of what you say.
It's a great idea, unfortunatley we are so geographically diverse that a place like zaadz IS our creativity cafe…we can value it & the connections we make through it.
So…where are you geographically?
Hi Colleen, I live on Maui.
You might no know, but my ideas have been tried in physical reality and they work very well. Artists ALWAY want recognition, whether the feedback is good or bad, its live and real in our V.A.R.I.O.U.S. Media Ink; Artists Showcase and Networking Events.
And “non creative” folks would come in and pay $10 just to have an inspiring, educational and fun place to explore art (rarther than just see it as in a non living gallery), mingle and meet people.
perfect :)
Wow! How did I miss this? I love these videos! Shining faces with a fun, light-hearted delivery, very nice camera work and editing, and the music is perfect! Great work!
