The power is shifting from the broadcaster to the consumer: people actively seek out what they want to watch, and determine when they watch, how they watch it, and where they watch it.

Mobile Apps: A New Age of (Re-) Engagement

You’ve got an App. It works well. It’s being downloaded. Job done? Many marketers seem to think so but this is actually just the beginning. 25% of all apps are used just once after download, then discarded. Comparatively few apps enjoy regular and valuable usage.

 What is Google Zurich Like?

Obviously whilst at Google we had a tour of the headquarters which was amazing, we really admired the ethos that they follow regarding work life balance. The office environment was fun and relaxing yet professional and this is something that all technical companies with professional coding guru’s need to follow.

It is clear that the people working for Google are extremely motivated and full of energy allowing them to creative fantastic ideas. Google even have a 20% development room where you can take yourself away to work on new ideas during your day.

My favorite room had to be the aquarium where you could switch off and take a power nap with the tranquil sounds of nature. All around you was beautiful tropical and Malawi fish tanks integrated into the walls.

Ship Your Enemies Glitter

The internet has certainly created some strange and wonderful website to be developed. The inventors behind the website shipyourenemiesglitter.com didn’t ever imagine that they would create something that could sell for $85,000.

Ship Your Enemies Glitter

The website was setup by the 22 year old Australian as a way to get revenge on people sending them a glitter bomb for $9.99. The site was over loaded and crashed and there was a plea to stop people ordering.

Ship Your Enemies Glitter

This amazing story from an idea to an over night success shows how the internet has changed the speed in which things can happen.

The sale took place on Flippa and we was simply shocked at the 345 bids achieving $85,000.
