Quick roundup of 5 great sto­ries plucked fresh from the inter­net this week.

1. The PUMA Index: iPhone App

Clever, as the mar­kets take a hit — the mod­els start striping.

2. Wal­dorf Bar­bers boast­ing YouTube success

Noticed that out­side the Wal­dorf bar­bers (Dublin 2) a plac­ard boast­ing about being Ireland’s most famous bar­ber on YouTube (or some­thing to that effect). Nearly 70,000 video views which is prob­a­bly more than any other bar­ber in Ire­land. They’re also going to get some cov­er­age in the Sun­day Times.

Watch­ing some­one get­ting a proper shave in there is mes­moris­ing, are they ven­tur­ing into Social Media?, their web­site is a bit pants, but I spied some­thing on boards​.ie (now removed) about look­ing for some hair­cut guinea pigs — pos­si­bly doing some more video?

3. Suc­cess­ful Web­site Day 1: Planning

Great guide on Sim­plweb, worth going over even if you’re not cre­at­ing a new website.

4. Orgasm for your feet

Ad from Bianco footwear, love it.

5. Inter­flora v M&S AdWords trade­mark row

Keep an eye on this one, as it will surely have impli­ca­tions on brand bid­ding in AdWords.
