      I love those mock ups.

      I generally use a graphics tablic myself (I’m one of the sinners who didn’t buy Wacom) but there is a real charm and value to the “I did this with a felt tip” approach, especially as you can get absolutely everybody involved.

      Brilliant! Very Impressive. I want to do something similar. GPS or Addresss charted on map of people who are having Brand or event specific conversations via Twitter, with a date slider so you can see historical progression over time. This would be fantastic to measure real-time campaign effectiveness or buzz-worthy-ness, by location. I would give the tip of my pinkie to have that with my clients data in my presentation tomorrow morning.
