A resource created by Barbarian Group and Aquent, it addresses a common problem: “I want this thing on my website, but I don’t know how to get it, or even what it’s called!”

Explain your client or even your mom what Search Marketing is, or what you need to get social media right. And though you may find this ironic/funny, the fact remains that a lot of people still need to be educated on the several components and disciplines of interactive marketing.

For those instances when a brand wants to grab the latest gimmick (or UFO), you now you have InternetOnlineWebsite.com !

The hotsite intends to celebrate not only Yahoo’s official color, but also “that unique, charmingly eccentric side of all of us“.  With some fun purple trivia, purple gadgets and a whole purple set of mind (whatever that is), the site does a great job on bringing back Yahoo’s culture, that has been in so bad shape lately, after the failed Microsoft deal.

One of the most interesting parts of the site are the videos prouced by agent Todd (of ImprovEverywhere and Frozen Grand Central fame). Several people were filmed in a Manhattan elevator, with a new performer getting on at each stop and singing Bordello’s “Start Wearing Purple”. I’ll leave you with the reactions:

Rua Augusta is one of the busiest streets, with lots of tourists, and this last Saturday was particularly crowded with people getting ready to watch Portugal-Turkey for Euro 2008. All went well, with no police intrusion or harassment of the agents, but i’ll let the video (in portuguese) speak for itself:

Paradinha video on Youtube

I found myself freezing for 5 minutes, while carrying the book Groundswell. Oh, the irony.

Any resemblance of the videos with your own corporate culture is pure coincidence.
Now it’s just a matter of time until a circular comic strip shows up, with Dilbert on YouTube talking about YouTube and Dilbert. Ok, my bad joke. Blame it on Catbert.

But speaking of dead-tree comics, is there any character or strip that you would love to see animated ?
