Evening folks! Anyone here (besides Liscab, heh) old enough to remember ASCII art?
Smart cars can park in tight spaces. Tweets are tight spaces for telling stories. Smart and BBDO use these facts to maximum advantage in this fun and effective effort that turns the auto brand's Argentinian Twitter feed into a stop-motion "commercial" made of 450-plus tweets (of 140 characters or less, naturally). You can see the effect in the video below, but it's better to go to Smart Argentina's Twitter page and play around. Use the "J" key to scroll forward and "K" to shift into reverse, and watch an animated Smart car (created with ASCII images) tool down a bustling city street and cleverly park between two other vehicles.
You can view their twits here ...

But, IMO, the animation they put together is more fun! :)

If you don't "GET" ASCII art, you're forgiven. If you do, I think you'll get a kick out of this smart Argentina Twitter bit. I don't twit. But, you can see the individual twits at the link above the video.

What if it's the middle of the night and you're asleep? You have sirens too, right?

We do have sirens but we can't hear them very well in the house. So we have a weather radio that goes off as soon as a thunderstorm warning is issued. DH will get up and look at the radar.

Well, it's still better than earthquakes that give no warning. :)

We just had a 6.0 quake in the ocean off the coast, but 250 miles from shore. :glare:
