Usain Bolt is the fastest man in the world, as he proved again earlier today in the 100 meter dash in London at the 2012 Olympics. Winning the race in just 9.63 seconds, he not only earned a gold medal, but set a new Olympic record as well. During an interview after the race, when asked how long he will allow himself to celebrate before competing in the 200 meter race, Usain replied:
"All I gotta do is thank a few people on my BBM with my congrats and that's it pretty much. The rest of it is all about getting enough rest, eating properly and then coming back for the 200 meters, because I'm really looking forward to that one."
That's right, the fastest man in the world uses the fastest keyboard and messaging system in the world. This is the kind of person that Research In Motion needs to look at for BlackBerry 10 advertising. A real person, doing really awesome things, who also uses BlackBerry Messenger to keep in contact with people who are important to him all around the world.
BlackBerry People DO.

The word on the street is that the following video was created by UK design company Pope Wainwright for use on Virgin Atlantic flights. We haven't really seen any videos of this sort used by airlines in the past, but this one is a real gem. From the Pope Wainwright...

BlackBerry Taiwan Z10 ad is great but we might be a little biased
When it comes to the BlackBerry ads being run in North America, there has been plenty of talk about how they could be better improved. Now, I'm not overly familiar with how ads are run in Taiwan but one video posted in the CrackBerry Forums from BlackBerry Taiwan certainly got my attention for several reasons. It hooked me by playing off a 'The Devil wears Prada' story line, then got...
