Still Counting Down... Anyone for Chips in the Meantime?

Ever thought of doing something just by thinking of it? Ever wondered if your thoughts can come to life and transform into actions without your moving a limb? It looks like the days of wondering are over as it's now been proven that our thoughts can indeed directly control our actions through micro-chip implants (the Braingate) in the brain. Incase you're wondering if this is the latest sci-fi movie plot, click on the link above and see the Braingate in action.

Afterwards you might as well sit back, relax and think away...

Counting Down, Counting Up....


Someone said that young people are now more concerned about having Facebook accounts than email addresses. A look at the Global Web Index, which measures just how much people are involved in the Social Media tells us just how true this statement is. The digital social revolution is well underway.

By the way, this is not the D-day of Luxury Online's publication. Soon... very soon...  It's worth it to keep eyes and ears wide open.

As the countdown to Luxury Online's worldwide publication continues, here is a little video piece to take your minds off the current crisis and of course to give you a glimpse of things to come.

Counting Down and Counting In...


As the countdown to the release of Luxury Online continues, I'll like to share another counter with you called the Gary Hayes Social Media Counts, an online app that counts the activities on the social media in real time. Resembling an active meter or a hyper-active screen that can be found anywhere from an airport to the stock exchange, the counter updates several aspects of the social web by the second- new blog posts, new fans added on Facebook, videos watched on Youtube, tweets sent on Twitter, iPhone apps downloaded and lots more! It certainly gives a glimpse into the exponential growth and influence of the social web. Real cool stuff.

The Countdown Begins!

Luxury Online, the book many have told me that they can't wait to read (and the reason why I started this blog in the first place) will be out this month! Yes, I can't believe it myself but the worldwide publication date is looming. And I'm beginning to fidget as I wonder what the reaction to the book will be. Will people like it? Will it be well received by the luxury community? Will critics embrace it or trash it? Oh la la, I have butterflies in my stomach already...

Anyhow, I'm pleased that I finally have an answer for all the people that have been patiently emailing, calling and asking for the day "the bloody book will be available for purchase" (excuse me for the language).

It's sooner than expected... and in the meantime I'll be bringing frequent countdown notes so come back tomorrow and the day after and the day after... It could be any day now.

The surprise announcement is coming...
