Free Friday: Facebook Freebies

Marking Infinity at the Guggenheim

This city never sleeps because there is always something to do. Not only that, but most of the time—if you keep your eyes open—you can do it without breaking the bank.

If you don’t have plans this labor day weekend you should check out some of the great museums New York City has to offer. Specifically, we’d recommend visiting the Marking Infinity exhibit at the Guggenheim which showcases the work of Lee Ufan.

Born in Korea in 1936, Ufan is credited with contributing to the development of contemporary art in Japan and his work is featured in museums all over the globe including Belgium, France, Japan and Korea. This exhibit marks his first North American retrospective and is definitely a must-see while it’s around.

So if you don’t have plans this weekend, head to the Guggenheim and witness this amazing collection of paintings and sculptures. And remember that if you go on Saturday, you pay what you wish (it’s normally $18).

Free Friday: Watching Irene

This has been an exciting week in terms of big news. The DC earthquake managed to shake things up on the East Coast as well as on the Twittersphere; Steve Jobs decided to step down as CEO of Apple; The Yankees rocked three grand slams in one game and now we are all preparing for Hurricane Irene.

Nowadays when natural disasters strike, people tend to turn to social media to find and share information. So the team at Squeaky has created a free tool to help you track what the Twitter community is saying about Irene.

Utilizing the power of hashtags and the Twitter API we’ve created portal to provide people with real-time updates on the storm. So stock up on water, food, other essential supplies and head to irene.squeaky.com for up to the minute information and don’t forget to contribute to the conversation by sharing your photos, links and stories with any of the following hashtags and keywords: #irene warning, #irene help, #irene evacuation, #irene, #hurricane, #hurricaneirene.

From all of us at Squeaky,

Have a happy and safe weekend!

The Art of Post-it® War

War has erupted in France…a Post-it® war that is. Its origins can be traced back to Ubisoft’s office and a bank across the street (BNP) in Montreuil. Ubisoft began by creating a few characters from the classic game Space Invaders and BNP quickly retaliated with an image of the laser canon from the same game.
