Manchester Digitals Big Chip Awards via Secondlife, Twitter and Flickr
Thursday, May 24th, 2007Tonight is the big night. It’s the Manchester Digital Big Chip Awards. We will be there in force. It’s always a damn fine night out and we get to make fools of ourselves amongst our peer group. We also see a lot of great work get acknowledged. This year, the event is going to be […]
Bitch Got Wide Feet and Wants New Shoes
Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007We’ve been at it again, experimenting with online video as a viral marketing technique that is. This time we’ve knocked up a quick, tongue in cheek, Pythonesque animation of PushONs alter ego and nemesis company PushOFF. The animation shows PushOFF demonstrating how not to put together an online marketing campaign for a company that sells […]

He’s trying to send a photo from his phone to Flickr and I beat him to it.
He will get the hang of technology one day, or so he says.
Technology for Online Marketing - Twitter and Flickr to Report Events
Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007We’ve been experimenting this week with Flickr and Twitter… and although we’re not entirely convinced of the benefit of these tools, it’s been interesting to see what can be achieved.
There are 3rd party tools for example that make mobile updates much easier - ShoZu is a software application for your mobile that allows you to […]
What to wear for the Big Chip Digital Awards
Monday, May 14th, 2007We’re all looking forward to the Big Chip Digital Awards which is coming up on the 24th of May.
In previous years the dress code has been more formal, but due to the nature of the industry, the dress code has been relaxed somewhat.
Encouraged to ‘dress to impress’, we’re left debating what to wear for such […]
Viral marketing - the social media press release is out
Monday, May 14th, 2007We mentioned recently that we would be reviewing the success of the viral video, so we’ve added some information in the form of a press release - this can be found here:

Whilst writing the release, it was interesting to note that a format for social media press releases has evolved.

My favourite 3 search results (at the moment)
Tuesday, May 8th, 2007If there’s one reason Google is the most popular search engine in the world it’s because it returns great results. Quite simply it cornered the market at a time when other popular search engines returned unexpected results to obvious search terms. Although all the search engines have improved greatly over the years I’m always amused […]
Technorati is borked right now
Friday, May 4th, 2007I’m getting really quite surprised at how often Technorati throws a wobbler. At times it seems to be half my attempts to use Technorati respond with an error message: “Technorati is borked right now”.
I can only assume that this is a result of the huge success that the site has had over the past year […]

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007Believe it or not, the above hexadecimal number is the hottest topic on T’internet right at this moment. It’s been the cause of what is being described as an internet riot at Digg. It has been featured in the New York Times. There are songs immortalising it.

Ripple of the Manchester Dale Street Fire
Tuesday, May 1st, 2007It’s just one fire. Well two really as two buildings got caught up in it but the fire on Dale Street in Manchester made National news. The main story has been that the city centre ground to a halt due to the location of the fire. What might not be appreciated is that the fire […]
