Here’s a few of the things that caught my eye on the blogosphere this past week:

Reactrix has signed a deal with National CineMedia to create interactive displays in theater lobbies in the US. National CineMedia also developed a program called AdverGame that allows the audience in movie theaters to move as one fluid team and act like a human joystick. The program is currently available on 750 screens in 50 theaters in the top 20 markets. National CineMedia launched this with Brand Experience Lab, which is the same team who helped MSNBC.com launched last year with a RSS newsfeed on the big screen.

Eisner thinks the product comes before the audience. Not saying he’s wrong but maybe you need both to have a good execution. Branded Entertainment is only as good as when you target the right audience.

In fact, his company’s first major foray into branded entertainment, a web series for sports trading-card company Topps called “Back on Topps,” only came about because he acquired the brand last year. “We never thought, Who’s the audience? [People] are saying the internet is made up of 13-year-olds, so gear toward them. But I just don’t think you should. I like to make it, then figure out who to reach.”

A guy filmed his girlfriend using Wii Fit and uploaded the video to YouTube. After two million views and Nintendo PR getting wind of the video.. they had to come out and say they had nothing to do with it. The guys works in advertising and some people tried to put two and two together.
