To clarify, it's the first filmed 3D ad for a South African car manufacturer. Apologies for not including that initially.

Dear Suhaifa

Riddle me this: so many people keep on asserting that everything online is measurable, but just how accurate is the measurement?

I've been using url shorteners mzan.si (from South African Tourism) and bit.ly for tracking clickthroughs on Twitter and Facebook and the numbers I get are so different, it's like chalk and cheese.

Simone Puterman: editor-at-large commented on What marketers need to know about Google+
By the way, there is a nasty bug that Google needs to fix which affects Google Talk (gtalk) contacts. If you were once on Buzz, and you've now signed up for Google+, you may find that some of your regular gtalk contacts have been blocked and you can't unblock them from gtalk itself.

A solution is to check your Google+ Circles, to see if a Blocked circle has been created. Then have fun unblocking those contacts (it's a buggy process as well).

See responses to a Google support forum: http://mzan.si/eyRw.
