The digital nativity
Portugese digital agency Excentric has gotten itself a YouTube smash with this digital story of the nativity, which has clocked up nearly 3m views in the last week.
Like so many great viral videos, it’s an idea that any agency in the world could have come up with, but didn’t.

And they’ve done it all without offending any major religious groups, which is an achievement in itself – a few Christian friends have forwarded this around to me, and none were trying to condemn it!

Agree with Riarn. Saw it yesterday and all the while thought “Yes, that is what they’d do in this day an age.” There was no…I don’t know, zing. It’s like they just held up a mirror and stopped there.

my whole office loved it … and they are hard to please. Considering the competition – the ‘Can you Blend it?’ video series as one of the most watched video ‘viral’ of the year, this seems relatively full of ‘zing’ to me.

I really liked it, but I think there would have been more swearing/frustration shared on Facebook, when they realised the ONLY accommodation was in a barn.

Like all social media, nobody met anyone or actually talked to anyone. Imagine a digital Christmas with thousands of people online you have never met. The only thing you have in common is an ability to isolate yourself with technology and pretend you have friends and that other people are actually interested in your 140 characters of inane and pathetic comments. Seems like we really haven’t come a long way at all. Have a great non digital Christmas. Email nobody. meet them. Leave your Facebook status alone. Life will go on regardless. Talk to someone in person and tell them that you like them and why. Make new friends by actually seeing people and remember how good life was before everything became so immediate and we all had a huge need to tell so many people we’ve never met what we are doing every single minute of the day.

@Richard – you seem pretty happy belligerently giving your two cents in an online forum to people you’ve never met – fail to see the difference?
