My brand new bike I wrote to work this morning…

I hope I am not making anyone too jealous. Contact Juri Zaech if you are. He might do one specially for you.

Whodunnit?: Beware he consequences of ENVY

Our very own Nigel Clifton, Creative Director, gives his thoughts on Peugeot’s brand new ‘Whodunnit?’ campaign. I love a good whodunit. That is exactly the reason I think I have just cracked the case and accused a 31 year old philandering housewife, with a baby, of pushing a Peugeot 207 into a swimming pool, or should it have been the unlikable middle aged banker……..

Geocitisizer takes us back to a more innocent time

Sometimes the series of tubes that make up the internets seem a strange and terrifying place, filled as they are, with bemused cats, low budget ninjas and other assorted memery. It’s tempting to think back to the halcyon days of your net youth, a safer time of terrible animated gifs, hideous colour schemes and the reassuring screech of midis made from stolen soundtracks.

Chatroulette: it’s only a matter of time

By now you should have all heard of Chatroulette – the hip and happening new video chatting service that’s become a pretty huge sensation for those in the know over the past couple of months. Essentially it works much like a video chat on MSN Messenger or Skype, except you have the ability to flick through chats with total strangers. Getting bored of the 50 year old man showing off his stamp collection? Simply skip to the drunk 25 year old girls having a party in their flat. What’s particularly impressive about the site is that it was coded in 3 days by a 17 year-old and is already attracting over 1.5million daily unique visitors.

Every Second…

Lovely little graphical representation of how many Xs happen a second. How many deaths from smoking, how many stars born, how many mobile phones sold. You could imagine something like this making a big impact if used correctly in advertising. How about how many trees cut down a second for an environmental campaign? Or how many cans of Coke Zero drunk for a new Coke campaign?

For when decision making is just too taxing

Enter two competing terms, hit submit, answer 5 other quandaries and get your result. Ok so it might not be useful for hardcore market research but for those times when you just can’t decide between boxers or Y-fronts in the morning it’s perfect. An iPhone application would be a big hit too, wethinks.

Hey! Nielsen is an interesting new website. Agree/disagree?

Hey! Nielsen is an interesting new idea from the people who bring us sophisticated web research and analysis along with lots of complex data and graphs. Except this time the site is aimed at users of social networks, not number-crunching analysts. You choose a topic (be it a celeb, film, video game etc.) and submit an opinion about it. Other people can then vote as to whether they agree or disagree with you and explain why.

Mahalo: the future of search?

We’ve all known social search was scheduled to hit sometime soon so it’s a bit of a surprise that more of a fuss wasn’t made about Mahalo which apparently launched some time last year. The site works a lot like a cross between Google and Wikipedia. So let’s say you search for an iPhone. Instead of just giving us normal search results, Mahalo tells us a few facts about the product, where it’s available to buy, recent iPhone related news and blog discussion, reviews, photos, videos, links to support, tips, competitors and the opportunity to discuss the device or send the page to a friend (via email or major social networks/bookmarking tool). That’s a whole lot of content.
