HausHouse- Kevin Hauswirth Blog- CBS got their (granny) panties in a twist February 3, 2010Given the postings this week, I feel like I’m having an early bird special. Pro-choice grannies’ YouTube response to CBS airing anti-choice ads.kevinhauswirth
- Get out those bifocals, it’s time for some boomer sexting. February 2, 2010New York Magazine talks to “expert-ish doctor” and cites AAPR research. And you thought it was weird getting Facebook posts from Mother. It just got weirder. Older People Are Now Sexting Each Other It was only a matter of time, we suppose. As soon as older people starting learning how to use their cell phones for things [...]kevinhauswirth
- Going up February 2, 2010Just last night I lectured about how traditional media pros use social media. Then, I see this brillant and fun Gawker story about Ann Curry and some fellow journs trapped in a NYT elevator—tweeking and posting videos the whole time! Ann Curry Trapped in New York Times Elevator for One Well-Documented Hour “What happens when a group [...]kevinhauswirth

- See ya later, Fatties. January 5, 2010“Letting fatties roam the site is a direct threat to our business model and the very concept for which BeautifulPeople.com was founded.” – BeatifulPeople.com founder Robert Hintze tells the BBC. As the site touts: Do looks matter to you, when it comes to selecting a partner? Do you want to guarantee your dates will always be [...]kevinhauswirth
- User Generated Nausea December 29, 2009Brands kill for it. Marketers promise it. But one problem with “user generated content” is, well, users. Props to Hanes for keeping this post live. Makes me wonder what kind of posts get censored from the underwear fan page…! Here’s the page. The video (if you dare) is herekevinhauswirth
- It’ll make you go blind December 8, 2009I’ve heard of adults scaring adolescents with threats of hairy palms…but a hairy face? This is new turf. James Lipton’s Give It a Ponder PSA about the dangers of texting. http://www.youtube.com/GiveItaPonder Knee-jerk reaction: “Why is this old dude warning teenagers about sexting…do they have any clue who he is?” Then I think […]kevinhauswirth
- Toothpaste in your dupa? October 22, 2009Apparently, Charmin has a solution. In case cartoon bears wiping their butts on trees wasn’t weird enough, Charmin’s new YouTube video takes personal hygiene to a very odd place. Not quite funny. Not quite serious. But if this is what he does with his TP, I’m not looking forward to learning what he does with his [...]kevinhauswirth
- Keeping abreast of McCain October 15, 2009John McCain’s daughter and blogger, Meghan McCain, stepped out of her pantsuit and into some controversy. It’s one thing when an old college friend tags you in some beer bonged Facebook photo, it’s another story when you post trashy webcam pics of yourself . This reminds me of words of wisdoms I’ve given to over the [...]kevinhauswirth
- Social Networks are Real Life October 14, 2009“We still tend to connect with the same people through online social networks who we connect with offline…” What a shocker! It baffles me that this concept is still a new revelation! It should be little surprise that moms talk to moms online, urban kids chat with urban kids…etc. Take for instance my class on social media [...]kevinhauswirth
