I love this, absolutely adore it!
The Product
MSNBC are launching some new, interactive, interpretative news services, called Newsware. Lots of different ways to get news, different interfaces, some games or more serious stuff such as RSS feeds or IM alerts.

JetBlue have launched a new campaign, with their ‘Are You A Jetter?’ over at Happy Jetting. They want to move the conversation away from the mundane flying, that has such bad connotations with poor service and security issues, to jetting, bringing back ideas of the jetset, when it was all so much more glamorous.
There’s some […]

Agency Spy pointed me towards, Nokia’s new site Get out and Play which I love. Great video, interesting and engaging, I love the ‘real life game’ included in the middle of the video.

I’ve been sent this gorgeous case study from New York Festivals, one of their Innovative Advertising Award Winners.
It’s something that Motorola, Hyperfactory New Zealand and Olgivy put together in response to a competition challenge from the owners of the Hong Kong airport to do something different with the advertising space.

Update - it’s now live and embeddable at Sony.co.uk/images. Well, there’s embeddable code, but can’t get it to work here - they’re working on it!
It’s here finally. And if you’re interested in the music, it’s specially composed for the ad by Warren Ellis, of Nick Cave and Bad Seeds. He also did the music […]

Mike Arrington had been having trouble with Comcast, his net provider and was not getting a good response via the call centre. He twittered his frustration, someone at the company picked it up and called him, getting the problem sorted. Apparently this is not the only time they’ve done this, with Consumerist […]

I published my filter method for Twitter the other day, which came out of my frustrations with the many new followers I was getting. It does not mean I’m not following anyone new, just that I run through some criteria in making my decision. One of the new people I did follow was […]
