Carpool Karaoke, sharing news not only cars

James Corden, an English actor, writer, producer, comedian and TV show man, is that kind of guy that draw attention because is incredibly theatrical and charismatic and he always choose the right way to communicate with the world. He’s very popular in UK and USA too and he’s becoming even more known in Europe.

He’s able to do his own communication through new perspectives and methods, using his worldwide popular show as a way to get in touch with vips and stars and make them talking frankly, during a fast car pooling trip while listening to some great music – and we know, it always helps.

It’s the Carpool Karaoke, and it’s about sharing news – not only cars – with superstars, super singers, politics people, influencers of the world.. driving and singing all together, how fun is that?

..what I’m thinking is just that this is a brilliant idea: (quite) real time interviews and shows are becoming part of the most viewed videos, they are a new kind of web contents that is really appreciated because is more spontaneous than you can suppose, and obviously, it’s not the ordinary content that people can look at while blogging or surfing the Internet.

Hope to share even more Carpool karaoke – that’s great Mr James and it’s interesting spend some minutes listening to the singers and people you chose and make fun of some life moments.

Monalisa and Berta, 2 women stuck in Florence

It was a funny discovery, it happened some days ago while I was searching for something to do in Florence – hopefully for free

So I ended up reading a city blog and, 5 minutes after, I was walking towards Palazzo Pitti, here you are what I found out:

Lisa Gherardini, Monnalisa, Florence

It’s in Via Sguazza, the street were Lisa Gherardini – better known as Monalisa, La Gioconda, the wonderful lover of Leonardo Da Vinci was born. And she’s still there in her house waiting for being admired by the people of the world.

Just in front of her there’s a new version of Monalisa, a contemporary picture created by Blub, a street artist in Florence whose paintings and creations are always totally submerged in the water:

After taking some pictures, I head ed towards the second lady of Florence, the less popular one, but it is worth it to tell her story too.

I’m talking about ‘La Berta‘ whose legend tells she was stuck in the wall by magic while she was screaming at a sentenced magician to not give any water to help him. While it was happening, the magician replied that she won’t be able anymore to move her head from that wall of the tower, and there she is:

You just have to look towards the highest part of the wall of Santa Maria Maggiore to see her stuck in between of the two highest windows:

If you fancy walking up and down the city, enjoy its uniqueness and discover these little pieces of ancient arts.

But this time is different, they are more than a cartoon on TV, they are around you and you can enjoy the ordinary life by looking at them and interacting with them, in a totally immersive environment. Yes, Pokémon hit the augmented reality game thanks to a new and totally captivating and fascinating app named Pokémon Go.

Pokémon GO, the new trend
Pokémon GO, the new trend

It is the only app that in a few days is already in the top chart of the App Store (it’s not on the top chart of Google Play, just because it will be available in the next days): it’s completely beating the porno market contents, Twitter, Candy Crush, Ingress and is now becoming a giant if compared to Snapchat.

Augmented reality (or AR) is used to describe the mix of reality and Internet elements, that is to say when virtual elements start to be part of the reality. AR has not to be confused with ARG, or alternate reality game, which is used to describe an interactive narrative game on multimedia platforms (have a look at Stories in between to find out more!).

Those are examples of augmented reality, the place in which you go thorugh your mobile device and you can discover more about what you see, discovering the details about the surrounding:

Thus, Pokémon Go is an AR game and it allows you to discover more about the place where you are and live in, augmenting the information about possible museums, streets, institutions, buildings, shops and parks in which you can go during your walks, together with your app:

Pokémon in your reality
Pokémon in your kitchen
Pokémon on the pavement

…among the latest augmented reality games, it seem to be the winner, and still many countries do not yet have access. GO and catch them all 🙂
