Billie Piper, Blogging And Bondage. Oh My.
Last night, Secret Diary of a Call Girl, the television programme based on the blog Belle de Jour, aired on ITV2 for the first time. So what better subject for my maiden voyage on the company blog than the grooming of Britain’s sauciest blogger for telly? Which has involved an in-your-face print […]
Kiss Your Friday Goodbye: 4 Great Games
One of the many great things about working at Altogether is that some of the projects we work on are so much fun, like the 4 games we’ve built recently. Whenever the call goes out around the office to act as testers on these there are always more volunteers than we need. To see why […]
What’s Wrong With Being 10?
We reported a while back that many people thought that it was Google’s 10th birthday. Well, apparently it’s only 9. I have to say that whilst I have trouble admitting that I’m never going to see my twenties again, it seems a bit much to be lying about your age when you’re not even in […]
London’s Wi-Fi Mile
Anybody who’s spent an afternoon walking around Upper Street, iBook in hand, trying to log on to Islington council’s “Technology Mile” service may smirk, but a new report says Londoners are the most wifi-happy people on the planet.
According to the Wi-Fi Hotspot Index, networks set up by the likes of BT and The Cloud in […]
The 7 Best Ads Of 2007
Whilst it’s not often that we take a lead from a weekly lad’s magazine, an article in Zoo that put forward the rather wonderful Brylcreem Effortless ad (which we obviously had a hand in) as the coolest ad of the year, got us thinking. Whilst many are claiming that the rise of PVRs & video-sharing […]
Microsoft To Take Stake In Facebook: Is It To Keep Google At Bay?
There are reports this morning that Microsoft is planning to take a 5% stake in Facebook which would value the social networking site at $10 billion. This is quite an increase on the $7 billion that was mentioned in the last round of rumours surrounding Facebook, and makes the $1 billion that Yahoo! apparently offered […]
Where Does Blyk Fit In The Digital Marketing Mix?
The Guardian has an interesting article about Blyk, the new company which plans to offer free calls & texts to mobile owners aged 16 to 24; in return the lucky young things will have to provide demographic information & agree to receive targeted ads.
I saw Pekka Ala-Pietila, the chief executive of Blyk (who used to […]
Clever Affiliates Make Use Of Gorilla Marketing
Other than the rather wonderful Brylcreem ad produced by our friends at ad agency WCRS, the best ad on TV at the moment is, of course, Cadbury’s Daily Milk ad with the gorilla drumming along to a Phil Collins tune. Following the post that Chungaiz wrote about the gorilla ad and what it says about […]
Typical British Day Out: Shouting Abuse At People On The Beach
It’s been another crazy week here and so we’ve been a bit slack on the blog. But to make it up to you, we thought that we’d show you one of our most recent pieces of work.
It’s a new site for Phones4U which allows you to play the part of some of the characters from […]
Bebo Is More Popular Than Google In The UK
Wow. This is a bit like spraying “Clapton is God” on the walls of the loo in the Marquee one night, and then going to hear Jimi Hendrix play and having your whole outlook on life turned around the next day…
I read today in NMA that Bebo is the most viewed site, ahead of […]
