The iPad launch and Google’s slice of Live Search

I do want one, and I am in the target market, but as a colleague of mine pointed out, it’s not actually a Mac, it’s still the iPhone OS, so it retains the control Apple want.
In fact if I think about it too hard I don’t want one. That succinct marketing message stating that over [...]

The Future of DIY #augmentedreality

Here is the most down to earth, everyday, useful application of Augmented Reality (AR) I have seen to date. It’s not a quatum leap to see any type of instruction manual or DIY book using this kind of system. Yes right now the cost of the technology is prohibitive, but the usefulness outweighs the complexity [...]

Blade Runner Eat Your Heart Out – Burj Dubai

I couldn’t resist posting this amazing fireworks display from the opening of the half-a-mile high (yes, say it again – half-a-mile-high) Burj Dubai tower in Dubai.
What an amazing spectacle – truly science fictional – and something every boy dreams of: the worlds tallest building.

…and have a look at this amazing footage from a building contractor [...]

“Data deluge will reboot our brains”

A great title, and an interesting article based on a study looking at how data consumption has changed over 30 years. It’s been conducted by the University of California and suggests that we consume on average 34 gigabytes of information each day!
The speed of modern life is 2.3 words per second, or about 100,000 words [...]

World’s First Crowdsourced Car Goes Into Production

Crowdsourcing is the ultimate form of handing control back to the people. Indeed it is this type of Glasnost that some people believe will be the way business manage to continue operating in the future.
Here’s a cracking example which could save the motor industry. A new independent car company is rising from the ashes of [...]

Can Social Media save Northern Ireland

It was with great sorrow that I listened to the news on Radio 4 as I drove to work this morning. An enormous bomb had been discovered in Northern Ireland at the end of a week that had seen 2 other episodes of planned or attempted violence which can only hint towards an escalation of trouble [...]

Search & Social: the new navigation and the advertising dilemma

Well, well, well – I never thought I’d live to see the day! And it truly is a momentous day. Twitter results will appear in both Google’s and Microsoft’s search engine results pages!!
I have to pinch myself. What a convergence. I mean I know we saw this coming, but how on earth can any of [...]

The Trafigura effect – vive la resistance!

I’m writing this still reeling from my Twitter experience this morning! (geek)
Flicking, as I usually do, between work and Tweetdeck (keeping in touch with the back channel) I started picking up on the #trafigura hash tag which had started trending.
Things started moving more quickly and I noticed several people I’m following mentioning it.
Between reading tweets [...]

Internet Ad Spend has overtaken TV!

Wow! What a headline… what an historic day!
Digital marketing geeks (like me) have long heralded the day when this would happen. Indeed as early adopters and believers in the positive, unitrusive, measurable nature of the internet we prophesied it.
The Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB) informs us that, at 23% of all advertising, the £1.75bn spent online now exceeds the 21.9% [...]

What else don’t we know about history?

I’m not a historian or an archaeologist but like alot of other people (1000 people queued to get into the Birmingham museum on Friday afternoon according to the Times!) I’m finding the stories coming out around the treasure trove, that has been found by a chap with a metal detector in a Staffordshire field, amazing!
