  • Making Payments with your Mobile

    8th September 2008 07:19 by tom

    Apparently according to a report by O2, 9 out of 10 people who took part in their six-month trial were happy to pay for stuff using their mobile phone, instead of the traditional credit card. The technology, called field communications technology or NFC for short, works by… Read more

  • From India with Love...

    27th August 2008 10:52 by tom

    Outsourcing to India is nothing new. But today alone we've been cold called by 3 companies, all based in India, wanting us to outsource technical development. I'm not sure if this is good news or not really, but I do know it's very annoying to have the same conversation over… Read more

  • How to Let your Users Create Desktop Shortcuts to your Website

    12th August 2008 04:25 by tom

    Bookmarks are very handy for remembering sites you like, but wouldn't it be really neat to let your users create a proper icon on their desktop that links directly through to your website? Or even a link in the Quick Launch bar right next to the start button. Using Gears… Read more

  • Round the coast of Ireland on a bike! They Must be Nuts!

    7th August 2008 07:06 by tom

    Our friends over at Wibfilm are leaving this Saturday to start their ambitious cycle ride round the coast of Ireland and in the process no doubt testing the theory that you can live off Guinness for 2 weeks! ;) The trip will be starting on the 11th of August 2008… Read more

  • DELL gets pretty

    5th August 2008 12:14 by lisa

    Wow! I absolutely love these new DELL computers! And I defy anyone not to think they look stunning and crave one for their desk! Dell claim it's their greenest, most "power-efficient consumer desktop", as it uses 70% less power than a regular desktop and has an 87% efficient power supply.… Read more

  • Friends Reunited TV advertising campaign

    30th July 2008 04:51 by lisa

    A few weeks ago I wrote about how Friends Reunited had announced their site is now free for users - in an attempt to catch up with Facebook I presumed. Well I've just seen a TV ad for the 'new Friends Reunited' website on ITV! Correct me if I'm wrong,… Read more

  • Brains work best when they're hydrated. We have the proof.

    28th May 2008 10:37 by tom

    You don't have to be a fan of the thunderbirds to appreciate how brilliant this ad campaign is. Using a combination of highly skilled puppeteers following choreography and clever computer work converting a digitally scanned real dancer into the image of Brains. I really love this ad; it makes me… Read more

  • DreamAds - Taking Adsense to the Next Level

    1st April 2008 09:17 by tom

    Stumbled upon this post on ReadWriteWeb this morning which I found particularly interesting and had me going for a minute! I particularly like the new CPD (cost per Desire) trading model, sounds like they are onto a winner if they manage to get this project up and running! :) Read more

  • The day Google turned the lights out.

    29th March 2008 05:53 by lisa

    Anyone else visit http://www.google.co.uk today and think their monitor was being screwwy? The usually white background was black, with the text in white. Apparently it was all part of Google's attempt to raise the UK public's attention to 'Earth Hour' and attempts at conserving engergy usage. Earth Hour wants people… Read more
