Facebook fights, C64's return and one saviour status

After bringing you Burberry’s social networking methods, I now present Fight Club’s effort. To mark the 10 year anniversary of the film, as well as it’s debut onto Blu-Ray, Fight Club (well, the people they hired) have created a mini promotional site that works with your Facebook profile to personalise your experience. Letting users login with their Facebook Id gives the site access to images and personal details, allowing an individual Fight Club story to be built around their own life. A link to the site (and an ad for the anniversary Blu-Ray edition of the film) can then be shared on the user’s Facebook profile.

Missing the old days of the Commodore 64? Well now you can get app-happy with a new collection of some of the best games from the 1980s. Offering iPhone versions of Dragons Den, Le Mans and Jupiter Lander, C64 will either have you racing to caress your Xbox or have you dreaming of a return to the days of old. There’s even an onscreen joystick to ensure the gameplay is as realistically retro as possible.

If your Facebook friends ever whinge about your rather frequent and occasionally banal status updates, rest assured that you could be doing your potentially-arrested self a favour. Rodney Bradford, a 19-year-old American man, escaped conviction by updating his Facebook status at the same time a robbery was taking place. Originally a suspect due to prior police problems, Bradford’s publicly broadcast craving for pancakes provided a perfect alibi.
