Happy Anzac Day

25, Apr 2008

This week, we’ve mostly been looking for interesting uses of collaborative technology: the brain gym happens to be an exception to this, but given the recent challenge set to us by Design & Print, and that Anzac Day is all about the power of remembrance, we thought it fitting…EnjoyARoute planner with a wiki twistOur recent [...]

The last Emperor

24, Apr 2008

In a recent ‘debate’ about the US Presidential Election, I pointed out to an American colleague that the election results didn’t count, as Congress had been dissolved over 150 years ago in a decree made by the one and only Emperor of the United States, Joshua Norton.

She didn’t believe me. You too? Well, read for [...]

Friday thoughts: Sit3s that pwn!!!

18, Apr 2008

Morning
We’re all busy people, but there should always be time to think. So that is what this week’s theme is about; about things that make you think. (Or should do.)
I’ve used Springwise as the source of ideas. A bit verbose, but then that’s never been a problem for me…

The Friday Matinee

11, Apr 2008

Given that this week has started with the digital version of the Oscar nominations (known as the WebbyAwards and no, we haven’t been nominated for any but then neither have any of our competiitors), we thought to theme this week’s offering appropriately (including Jolly Trolley, as it is our turn this week).
And to get you [...]

I was trawling through some old files earlier today and came across…

…two sites that I had forgotten about: AdBusters and the Anti-Advertising Agency. It may seem weird for someone who has spent the past decade working in advertising to focus on sites that parody the very work we create, but I think there is an honest idea here: our day to day work is so [...]

And I am mostly loving…

..make your own Gadgets for Google. OK, so its a bit trite, but I’ve been playing around with widgets this week and am really getting into them. Aside from creating an anniversary countdown (a great one for those of us who are on the forgetful side), and a brilliantly animated spider that responds to mouse [...]

This week I am mostly being annoyed by…

…people on LinkedIn answers who don’t close their questions. REALLY irritating.There. I’ve said it.

Thank crunchie, it’s Friday

The Lost Ring (http://www.thelostring.com)I learnt a new acronym last night: ARG (Alternative Reality Game). An ARG is a relatively new genre of game that allows players to interact with a fictitious world using real world elements. The difference between this [...]

Sites I like

8, Apr 2008

I often get asked which sites I like to use for research, so have broken my answer down into key categories, which should help. The blogsphere is constantly changing, so I’m afraid that a Google search tends to drill up numerous responses, which you’ll need to scan through to see whether any take your fancy. [...]

Feel the Friday lurve

7, Apr 2008

The theme this week is sites that espouse an organisation’s brand values: we conducted some research a while ago, which taught us that prospects see a website as “an extension of the management that will be hiring them”. Yet how often do our clients allow the candidate pool to suffer a hideous experience online? Sometimes, [...]
