If there is even just a little bit of nerd in you, you’re going to love this. Microsoft’s research team is working on a street mapping view called “Street Slide” and by the looks of it, will eventually provide you a whole new experience and some serious visual perspective in comparison to the way you [...]

This is a fantastic idea executed to perfection by Audi. In 2010 they didn’t create just another beautiful calendar, they created an unexpected experience! Yes, they printed the calender purely as landscape images, blank, no cars, nothing, and then prompted people to download the special iPhone app that would allow you to activate the calendar [...]

Diesel’s “Be Stupid” campaign platform continues to drive ridiculously innovative work. This time they’ve said that Digital is smart. Analog is stupid. And with that, Diesel has created a social event called Facepark, a live event where thousands turned up to create an analog version of Facebook, simulating pretty much everything you can do on Facebook in a physical [...]

If you are a Flash developer, it might just be HTML 5 installations like this that start worrying you! We all know HMTL 5 can produce great drawing apps, sure, that’s easy, but combining that kind of functionality into live digital installations with multiple remote users use to be a flash only affair… This is [...]

I’ve just been sent a link to what I believe is an almost undiscovered land within YouTube, well, by undiscovered I mean I’ve never seen it (have you guys??) and for an official YouTube run channel, it’s clearly almost non existent with only 60,000 views since going live back in December 2009. This is home to the the [...]

Looking back at my previous post on Flash Mobs, it’s interesting to see how something on a much smaller scale can have a much bigger impact. I guess you could call this a flash mob of sorts, but it’s not your typical dancing group (although these are the same guys that did the Frozen Grand Central [...]

Digital is unique in the fact you can create almost anything, anywhere. So for this Polish Breast Cancer awareness campaign, Change Integrated devised something a little different around an insight into making breast cancer detection methods fun to learn, for men! So in the adult section of one of the most popular polish websites, they placed a very smart [...]

Take a good look at this Flash Mob created by Malibu in NYC and then pause for a moment of silence, because that might just be the last promotional flash mob you’ll ever see! Don’t get me wrong, I think flash mobs were pretty cool in 2008 and even early 2009, the 10 or so [...]

This is another interesting infographic, this time around twitter’s journey to over 100 million unique users with breakdowns on key events, reasons for growth in social and mobile and a nice breakdown of twitter users in the US. One of the stand out points, is that Twitter has an awareness of 87% while Facebook is just 88% – considering [...]

I thought this was quite a good interview with Chuck Porter, founder of Crispin Porter + Bogusky on the agencies success among other things. Now, the interview starts off a little slow but there are some great take outs around how they’ve managed to hire young talent (because they couldn’t afford anything else) and then [...]

Ok, so this might be the weirdest app you’ve ever seen, and your probably thinking I’ll never download it (or will you?!) but here in lies a great example of app seeding, or in this case, pre-seeding. One of the toughest things is to get featured in the Apple store, so you’ll need another way [...]

Yes, sorry, I’m slightly late in posting this, but I thought it would be better that I archive on Digital Buzz than just let it be lost deep in my twitter favourites. So this is the full video demo of the Nissan Leaf iAd, showing everything from how iAd banners sit in-app right through to [...]
