<p>That&#8217;s what they say, right? But I&#8217;m wondering&#8230; Is it still flattery of you brag about it and say that it is a world first?</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the story. This week, Belgian band Clouseau released a new track and the accompanying video clip. They also launched an online version of the video clip which is supposed to be an absolute first&#8230; I&#8217;m not so sure.</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://www.webkitchen.be/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/clouseau1.jpg" alt="clouseau1.jpg" border="0" width="555" height="315" /></div>
<p>This is the first screen. Already loo familiar? So you have 6 different rooms and when you click on them, you zoom in to the room.</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://www.webkitchen.be/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/clouseau2.jpg" alt="clouseau2.jpg" border="0" width="553" height="300" /></div>
<p>While it is still pretty cool, it&#8217;s far from an absolute first. Big Spaceship already did this for the HBO Voyeur project.</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://www.webkitchen.be/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/hbo1.jpg" alt="hbo1.jpg" border="0" width="555" height="328" /></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://www.webkitchen.be/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/hbo2.jpg" alt="hbo2.jpg" border="0" width="555" height="307" /></div>
<p>So&#8230; Is imitation the sincerest form of flattery? I have my doubts&#8230;</p>
<p>You can compare it yourself:<br />
<a href="http://www.wateenleven.be/" target="_blank">Clouseau</a> (I have no idea why registration is required)<br />
<a href="http://www.bigspaceship.com/archive/hbovoyeur/" target="_blank">HBO Voyeur</a></p>
<p><strong>UPDATE</strong>: I knew other politicians were going to copy some of Obama&#8217;s web tactics but I never would have guessed it was going to be this extreme. <a href="http://gizmodo.com/5088570/barack-obama-cloned-by-israeli-candidate-website" target="_blank">Check this out</a>!</p>
