There are heap of video playouts now. What I quite like about Hellodeo.com is that it takes the idea of presence further than its peers by hooking into your AV straight away and recording. It’s a [all too] simple process. And judging from the featured material on the site it produces quite unreflexive, more immediate [...]

Phone notifications off after quiet walk in the woods was disturbed by busy aviary like twitter from pocket. I had 42 new texts in the space of 30 minutes. That’s when continuous [...]

I find it quite staggering how much dotcom M&A activity going on right now. IPOs seem to be coming through daily in a race between the big four Google, Yahoo!, News Corp and Microsoft not to lose out. All seem to be spending over revenue growth in activity not seen since the boom/bust days [...]

[thinks - should have worked at a red top.] Spent a great day at the BBC Labs in Masham, Yorkshire, yesterday courtesy of Matt, working with the various teams and mentors who were finalising their propositions. It was one of the best days I’ve had in a long time, being around a lot of creative [...]

I was somewhat disappointed last year at Etech and wasn’t able to justify the cost in time or money this year to myself. However, it would seem I’ve missed something potentially massive, but massive in an unassuming, quiet revolution sort of way: The "Live Clipboard" [via Ben]. Microsoft’s dev team [at the instigation of Ray [...]
