Make an ad in 48 hours to make your name at Cannes Lions Advertising Festival
April 28, 2009
Want a challenge? Want to go to Cannes? Under 29? Enjoy going a full weekend without sleep? We have
something
for you.
Every year young creative minds from all over the world compete in 48 hour film contests where - if they make the best advert in the given time - they win a trip to the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival to represent their countries at the Young Lions competition. This year we're sending two of you.
You will need to make an ad in 48 hours - we'll release the brief for the ad at the beginning of this period - and once submitted, you'll get two weeks to get the ad as many views, ratings and votes on the channel as possible. Then, sit tight. The two best entrants as picked by our expert panel will win an all-expense-paid trip to the Festival to make up Team YouTube at the Cannes Lions.
For now, go to the
channel
, subscribe to receive updates, and await further instruction. Brief released Friday May 15th, at midnight GMT. You'll have until midnight Sunday May 17th to get the ad uploaded and submitted to the contest.
The Young Lions competition is a prestigious but frantic week of creativity where the teams of two from all over the world compete in timed challenges to create ads for different briefs, in between training sessions from industry luminaries. An inherent part of the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival, one of the world's premiere advertising festivals, it's an ideal place for any young creative person to get exposure and open doors for their career.
Good luck.

Connect at Google FUSE
April 14, 2009
At Google, we are committed to helping the innovators of the future make the most of their gifts. As part of this commitment to build and retain a strong and diverse talent pool in computer science, we’ve created the Google FUSE program. This summer, FUSE will provide an opportunity for successful and invested first year computer science students who are historically underrepresented in the field to connect with one another and with Google. We’ll be bringing rising college sophomores from across the US and Canada to our New York office for two days of networking, learning, and fun.
Our goal is to form a network that will allow these top rising sophomores to learn about the research, academic, and industry opportunities that lead to great careers. We also want to make connections between students and Googlers who have paved this path before them.
If you're currently a first year student who has declared a CS or related major and are interested in connecting with other top students, we want to hear from you! Students from historically underrepresented groups in technology -- female, Native American, African American and Hispanic students as well as students with disabilities -- are encouraged to apply.

Playing games with Google Latitude
April 8, 2009
Google Latitude
is a service we launched in February that lets you see where your friends are at any given moment. Needless to say, it lends itself to countless fun outdoor activities, from races to treasure hunts. Recently, we decided to get in on the action and gather up some peeps to spell out a message to our dear moms using the icons on the map. Think of it as an early Mother's Day gesture.
Of course, not everyone wants to send a message to their mothers (though you really should, because your mom probably misses you). So we whipped up a way for you to
customize the message
however you want.
Certainly there are many more games one could play with Latitude. I, for one, would like to see someone organize a big game of chess with people as the pieces. Who's up for it? For other creative uses of Latitude, check out the
Google Mobile Blog
