Google Kills Video: Will Its Reputation Go With It?
The ever excellent Guardian Technology supplement has a very interesting piece in it today about the closure of the paid for service on Google Video. It seems that Google is in the process of putting all its efforts into YouTube (much like Yahoo!, which closed its pictures site to concentrate on Flickr). This in itself […]
Interactive 360-Degree Light Field
I’m so excited!! Finally our Star Wars technology dreams are being realised:
An Interactive 360-Degree Light Field Display
(Or hologram, to normal people)
This display renders the light field of an object - with correct geometric, accommodation and vergence cues in a horizontal plane - by rendering and projecting imagery at 5,000 frames per second onto a spinning […]
Facebook On The iPhone
Those lucky enough to have an iPhone can now use a specially designed version of Facebook, the ubiquitous social networking site. Simply point your iPhone browser at iphone.facebook.com. If, like us in the UK you’re still waiting for the iPhone, visiting the page in Firefox and resizing your browser to mimic the iPhone’s screen will […]
Spend Money On SEO Not Bad T-Shirts
There’s normally something quite nice about opening the post in the morning (particularly if it is not one of the regular communications from the utility companies or junk mail).
Things were slightly different this morning however, as I opened up an anonymous looking envelope to find that it was from a debt collection agency who are […]
UNIQLOCK: Is Beauty Better Link Bait Than Functionality?
Earlier today, our resident trend spotter Chungaiz sent me a link to a new(ish) website from UNIQLO, the Japanese clothes retailer.
It’s called UNICLOCK and is essentially a site that allows bloggers to have a flash-animated clock widget on their blog, which details the current time as well as the location of the blogger. It also […]
Big Brother (The Mouse Version)
A good friend of mine recently booked a holiday, and asked me to look after her pet mouse, Colin, while she travels.
Now, although I like to think of myself as an animal-friendly type (I am piscetarian, apparently, or in American, pescetarian, so I only hate fish enough to eat them, no other animals), I was […]
If It’s Ultra Wide, Is It Wireless?
Ultra Wide Band (or wireless USB as it’s also, rather confusingly, known) becomes available from August 13th. So what you might ask; and if you do, you might well be right to be underwhelmed.
Some are heralding this as the technology that could hasten the arrival of the ‘connected digital home’; those of a more cynical […]
Digital? It’s Nearly All About PR
We’re often asked by clients (both current & potential) whether we offer online PR services & consultancy, to which the answer is a resounding yes. But by online PR, we aren’t just talking about sending out optimised press releases via online newswires, because as far as we’re concerned almost all forms of digital marketing can […]
Will 2007 Be The Year Google Overtakes ITV?
I wrote the other day about the various predictions for when online advertising would overtake print in the US & in that post I mentioned that it seemed like that line had already been crossed in the UK.
Well, it now looks like the UK could beat the US in crossing another major line: the one […]
Web 15.2.0 - The InteracWeb (Patent Pending On Name)
I was rummaging through some stuff last night and I found an original Nintendo “Game & Watch” Zelda game which I believe was the first Zelda game to go mobile.
What’s so brilliant about the way the Nintendo guys/gals work is that always concentrate on gaming rather than worrying about CPU speeds. The pictures above show […]
