French Connection’s New ChatRoulette Comp!
ChatRoulette discovered about 3 weeks ago when it was suddenly featured across a host of US news sites and tv shows. It never takes long, and FCUK (with agency Poke, London) have become the very first brand to try to leverage the success of ChatRoulette and all 500,000+ unique players per day by launching a [...]
Continue reading...Last Call: Interactive Cinema Experience
3. March 2010
I don’t think this type of trend will take off, but I’m sure there would be a few interesting uses around for it away from the big screen (possibly for use in online campaigns, museums experiences and the like). Either way, it’s a pretty cool concept that would definitely capture some engagement and certainly has been creating some buzz [...]
Continue reading...Today I’m Off To Japan: Snowboarding!
11. February 2010
Most of you will know I’m a keen snowboarder and today I head off to Japan in search of their mystical powder that is said to rival the worlds best. Knee deep, super dry and that’s the normal days when it isn’t snowing! I’m handing over the challenge to good mates Casey Glass & Fethi Uluak [...]
Continue reading...iPhone Controlled AR Quadricopter!
21. January 2010
Right, I’m a sucker for gadgets and this might be one of the coolest I’ve ever seen. Not only is it controlled by your iPhone’s Wi-Fi, it’s got a camera that transmits live video from the quadricopter straight onto your screen so you can fly blind, but that’s just where this thing gets started! It’s has [...]
Continue reading...The Digital Buzz Jingle – Out Now!
18. January 2010
So here it is, hot off the press from LoveJingles. I purchased January 18th for a special Digital Buzz Jingle to be created as part of Love’s quest for riches through selling a jingle a day in similar fashion to the I wear your T-Shirt model that became hugely popular last year. All you do is [...]

31. December 2009
Seeing I missed the chance to post a Christmas message, I thought I better get in early to wish everyone a Happy New Year! I’ll be amongst a million plus people on Sydney Harbour watching what is probably the worlds best fireworks display, or a least the best venue anyway! So make sure you check [...]
Continue reading...Love Jingles: Get Your Own From $1
10. December 2009
Meet Love. He writes Jingles. It’s been a tough year, so for 2010 he is replicating the IWearYourShirt model by offering a custom jingle to be written, recorded, edited and posted every day of the year, starting from $1 on January 1st 2010. The video above is a demo to see the kind of thing [...]
Continue reading...eBay: Black Friday Heatmap Visualisation
1. December 2009
I love data visualisations, and this is a pretty cool heatmap animation from eBay based on all the US shopping transactions on eBay for the Black Friday shopping rush! They mapped every one of the 1.027 million transactions in 33,000 postcodes across a 24 hour period. Very cool!Share This Digital Buzz Post:
Continue reading...YouTube Instrument Annotations Experiment
26. November 2009
This is a pretty interesting experiment with the new annotations feature on YouTube using a Piano that you can actually play. It’s a little slow, but, it helps explore the possibilities of what can be done with the new YouTube feature. I’m looking forward to seeing some campaigns using this!Share This Digital Buzz Post:

Continue reading...Survey: Digital Marketing Outlook 2010
23. November 2009
If you’ve got 5 minutes to spare this week, I thought you might be interested in helping out the Society Of Digital Agencies with their 2010 digital marketing outlook report. They’ve got about 20 questions that are quick and easy to fill out, it’s all confidential and best of all you’ll get a free copy [...]
Continue reading...PANTURAL: Mind Blowing Interactive 3D Short
7. November 2009
Here is some eye candy for everyone. This mind-blowing interactive short was created by Pantural, he is a cult figure on the 3D VFX scene and occasionally gets time to create his own work. The interactive design+ development mediums utilized for the production were modeling, animation and rendering. The products utilized were 3DS Max 2008, Mudbox, After Effects, [...]
Continue reading...Video: The Google Story
5. November 2009
It almost doesn’t seem fair that this is such a short video. But either way, it’s a great way to admire what Google has done over the last 11 years. They started out from Stanford (who’s Business & Entrepreneur iTunes lectures I listen to often!) as a project that has since created a global domination of information [...]
Continue reading...Melbourne Cup Sweep Organiser Site!
2. November 2009
If you live in Australia, you’ll know today is the Melbourne Cup (Australia’s biggest horse race) and with that comes the usual headache of organising the office sweep… Printing the coupons, cutting them out, calculating the winnings and collecting money from everyone! Painful! Well that was worst job in the agency for a few years until TAB [...]
Continue reading...Video: Creating Digital 3D Graffiti Art
2. November 2009
This is a very cool project from Evan Roth. Called Digital Blackbook, Evan’s software takes standard Graffiti and creates these amazing 3D perspective drawings on the fly. I’m not sure what use there is for this, but his digital art experience is touring the globe and recently stopped off in Hong Kong with a video [...]
Continue reading...Google Wave’s Funky Maintenance Page
2. November 2009
So how often do you see a page like this on Google? Graphically designed, almost creative, quirky copy writing, animated even? Almost never, let alone as a “maintenance” page for Google Wave… Ok so it makes complete sense for Wave, but rarely do you see anything like this from Google! So enjoy the moment, or perhaps what might be [...]
Continue reading...Editors PR Hack: Google Street View Mashup
18. October 2009
There is an easy way to get great PR. Do something different, but these days in the digital world it’s pretty hard, a lot of what is currently “possible today” has already been done, and the good ideas, done to death. But this interesting Google Maps mashup (launched as a supposed ”hack in google maps”) got some [...]
Continue reading...Plugin: Live Twitter Feeds Into Powerpoint!
11. October 2009
There isn’t a conference or professional gathering lately that doesn’t give a special #hashtag to the event so it can be tracked and trended on Twitter as the audience tweets about how good, bad or ugly the presentation is. I stumbled across this cool looking twitter plugin for Microsoft Powerpoint that basically lets you insert one of 4 [...]
Continue reading...Will Social Product Development Work?
6. October 2009
Everything seems to be going social these days. Every business wants a part of it and everyone is already doing it. So how about if you took the “group” product development strategies from some of the biggest companies in the world and threw them out there so people can to collaborate in creating new products [...]
Continue reading...The Rio 2016 Olympic Bid Video
5. October 2009
In case you havn’t already seen it, I thought I’d post up the official Rio 2016 Olympic Bid Video. It’s beautifully shot, isn’t over the top and to me, really showcases the every day lifestyle that I’d think Rio was all about. In fact, the footage kind of reminds me of Australia’s lifestyle in a lot of [...]
Continue reading...The Google Wave Concept Visualization
3. October 2009
If you’re like me and don’t have your Google wave invite (please send me one!) just yet, then this might be the closest thing you have to understanding how it actually works and what you might use it for! Google wave is such an advanced communication tool, that it’s actually defined as a new communication medium. So [...]
Continue reading...Google Launches Fast Flip Content App
24. September 2009
Think of this as the new way to find news, articles and relevant content. Google Fast Flip is like flicking through a magazine, just online with endless volumes of content to flick through. Find what you like, follow that topic and you’ll get more of the same or just browse away and create your own [...]
Continue reading...Microsoft “Courier” Tablet Computer
24. September 2009
And everyone thought it would have been Apple! This is what might just be the new Microsoft “Courier” Tablet Computer that is made of 2 multi-touch 7-inch screens that hinge in the center with a home button similar to the iPhone. It’s a seriously slick interface with some amazing features from first glance. It also comes with [...]

21. September 2009
How many movies from the 80’s and 90’s depicting the not-so-distant future (now) got it right? Flying cars, underwater cities, three course meals in pill form? Check out these ads made by AT&T from 1993. Just about every futuristic situation they show is common place today (except maybe for the BladeRunner-esque lighting). What visions of the future [...]
