  • Lyft Ditches Pink, Furry Mustache for Pink, Glowing Mustache

    Lyft is ditching the giant, pink mustache that has adorned all some of its fleet since the company’s launch.

    Don’t worry – the pink mustache is still going to be there. Except now it’s going to be smaller, dash-mounted, and not furry.

    “It was this big giant fuzzy thing. If you were going to an important business meeting, it might not be the best way to roll up … the reality is, people were using it less and less,” Lyft President John Zimmer told Wired in a interview.

    And for the new glowstache?

    It’s “more modern, more fresh, and also more acceptable for everyone,” says Zimmer.

    Cool.

  • Google Celebrates Movember Again, This Time With A Chrome Video

    Remember last year when Google’s Matt Cutts and Bing’s Duane Forrester grew moustaches? That was for Movember, a decade-old campaign to draw awareness to men’s health started in Australia.

    This year, ahead of November, Google has released a new Chrome video celebrating the campaign.

    “For ten years, Movember has been changing the face of men’s health,” says Gabriella Conlon from Google’s Chrome marketing team. “Movember has grown from humble beginnings with a couple of blokes having a beer and deciding that it was important to raise universal awareness for men’s health. The movement took off across the globe as photos and support were shared over the web.”

    “At Google, we have been inspired that a group of motivated Aussie guys could spark global change — and have such fun doing it along the way,” says Conlon. “So we’ve chosen to celebrate this story in our new Chrome video.”

    We haven’t heard yet if Cutts and Forrester will be going the moustache route again this year.
