Christmas Tweets – FWA site of the day for 25th Dec 2009
December 30, 2009 – 10:58 am
Just a quick post before we creep into 2010. On the 25th of December Christmas Tweets – our twitter visualiser http://www.christmastweets.co.uk/ – achieved the accolade of site of the day on the FWA http://www.thefwa.com. What I love about it is it’s not worthy, it’s a great use of twitter, it looks great and it’s fun. The competition is fierce on the FWA so well done to everyone involved.
While you’re there don’t forget to vote on the people’s choice award http://www.thefwa.com/pca2009/.
Without trying to sway you, I voted for the Soapbox Racer for Red Bull by Less Rain. It’s a lovely idea, beautifully crafted.
Happy New Year.

Your own, personal Santa.
December 1, 2009 – 6:15 pm
I’m repping commercialism, AKA Santa, for our Christmas Tweets project.
So I thought I should at least download the little guy and carry him around with me.
Here’s my step by step guide to creating your own credit crunch gift idea for Christmas.
Step One
Go to http://www.christmastweets.co.uk/ and download your own Santa (or one of the other characters – I forget who they are now).
Step Two
Print that bad boy out.
Step Three
Cut Santa out whilst wearing your most festive hat. Mind your fingers kids!
Step Four
Fold up your little Santa. No tearing.
Step Five
Place on Martin “The Hit Man” Hearns’ head. Or any other inanimate object.
Enjoy!
87 cool digital experiments
November 10, 2009 – 2:02 pm
Andy Berndt, MD of Google Creative Lab and Tom Uglow, Creative Lead did this presentation at Advertising Week in New York last month. The presentation shows the ways consumers; brands and Google are using technology to create new ways of engaging and interacting.
Many of the examples in ‘87 Cool Things’ highlight mashups, interactivity, unique data usage, and the fusion of virtual worlds and reality, all in combination with Google tools.
Some great stuff in here: http://bit.ly/87coolthings

It’s interesting to look at these a couple of ways. It’s interesting that only 3 of them could have existed in the 19th century; that 3 of them are digital only, with no physical product and the others many of the others are reliant on the consumer electronic industry, with the good stuff only ocming out in the last 10 years or so. Does cool automatically mean modern for many?
