Without Danny this week, we’ve had to work extra hard to keep up our usual high standards, but we’ve managed it!
We’ve come across some very interesting technology news, and thought we would share it with you along with other ‘goings-on’ in and out of the office.
Some great news hot off the press to begin with. We won 2 awards at the Communicators this week for the production of BoonSpace. The two awards were for Social/Networking (for the back end and functionality) and Visual Appeal (for the design), so this is great recognition for everyone involved in the project – http://bit.ly/tupMD
Adobe has developed a platform for creating digital magazines which was used for the virtual edition of WIRED magazine – http://bit.ly/9FiaT9
We also noticed this company – http://bit.ly/cy1ZEY who have put some really inspiring ideas together about how to use real objects and iPhone applications together. Something truly original and different!
There’s also the rather geeky news that Google offices around the world will no longer be using Microsoft operating systems due to security concerns. Whether it’s a publicity stunt or a genuine concern; it’s certainly got them some press coverage – http://bit.ly/9qjFyD
Cyber-Duck Interaction Producer Paolo Cattaneo also managed to lay his hands on an iPad this week. No, he didn’t buy one but he did touch one in an Apple store. Rather selfishly he didn’t let anyone else in the shop have a go for a full half hour! It must be good.
We are really getting into the World Cup spirit this week too with everyone starting up their Fantasy World Cup teams with Metro online! You should join us – http://bit.ly/13zOWz
That wraps up the weekly, let us know if you have found anything else we might be interested in!
