Odeon, the cinema chain, is moving into social commerce with the launch of its first-fully transactional Facebok app, which enables cinema-goers to book tickets without leaving the social networking site. You can read the full article here on the Brand Republic site.
Lomography (the people who bring you cameras like the LC-A+ and Diana+) are teaming up with Gowalla (a geo service who bring you wonderful Twitter updates like “Mike is at the station”…) for this year’s South by South West Festival. From what I can understand, they’re going to be taking advantage of Gowalla’s items (a Continue reading →
As well as indulging in “Pimp My Hyde” at lunchtime (decking Tom out in ridiculous clothing for the afternoon), we’ve been taking part in typography Friday this afternoon. This is a nice Flickr group where you post up your typography every Friday. Simple. This week I went pretty simple with an easy pixel font, but Continue reading →
I’ve been into anlalogue photography for the last year or so, messing around with a Holga, Diana F+ and more recently a Seagull and Lubitel. I think the charm’s in the unpredictability of using the cameras, and also in the way each distorts the image (the latter two cameras do this a bit less than Continue reading →
Thought I’d update you with a follow up to my last blog post about the changes to Facebook. French site PC INpact has unearthed some screen grabs of the new layout. They’re not too different from those available over at the developer roadmap, but they do show how photo pages and drop downs will work. Continue reading →
Facebook’s set to go through a few changes again over the coming months, so I thought I’d detail some of the plans for anyone with a presence on the social network. Depending on whether you have a Profile, Page or App, there are some points worth bearing in mind in order to maintain or augment Continue reading →
I’m enjoying the ads on Vice at the moment. They’ve had some really good photo-related campaigns recently, and I thougth I’d start with the Olympus Stories of the Eye. For this campaign, Alice Dellal, Lovefoxxx, Miquita Oliver and Daisy Lowe were given a PEN camera to capture their daily lives. Also, Vice users were invited Continue reading →
Enough is enough. We’re starting the campaign against Twitter Litter. Over the last six months or so, more and more third party services are popping up that integrate with Twitter that force the user to tweet when they use them. This leaves users with a decision; use the service and tweet, or don’t use it Continue reading →
Alongside David Cameron’s Twitter Twat moment in the trending topic today were three seemingly disparate entries; M&Ms, Harry Potter and “What Piercing Are”. On closer inspection, these turn out to be caused by automated messages from the service fun140. They’re generated by quizzes with themes like “what colour M&M are you?”, “what piercing are you?” Continue reading →
David Bowie’s going to be rereleasing his tune “Space Oddity” to mark the 40th anniversary of the moon landings (as you do). But it’s not just any old rerelease. Instead, it’s a digital remix edition. Not digital remix in god awful techno nineties way, or even in a filthy dubstep style, but in a way Continue reading →
