Ahead of the London Olympic Games 2012, Panasonic is launching an extremely useful app for real sport fans. The new application dubbed Flag Tags will allow users to connect with each other and celebrate the spirit of the global sporting event, paying tribute to fan traditions. Using the Flag Tag app, members of the online community and owners of mobile devices will be able to paint their faces with national flags in the digital space.

Being in the trend means not only to know something or buy something, it also implies ‘being there.’ LG is offering its fans in Britain a great opportunity to be among those who will attend the biggest events of this summer including One Direction, The Voice UK and The X-Factor Tour Live to be hosted at the LG Arena. The electronics giant is to give away over 100 tickets through a one-of-a-kind cross-country twitter scavenger hunt #LGTicketHunter, which launches on June 6.
