  • One Day Project: 3 iPhone developers, 3 games, just $100

    With over 90,000 apps in the App store, getting your app noticed can be a bit of challenge. So the 3 developers at Tiny White Tribe decided to add a little excitment in the whole marketing of their app, and came up with One Day Project (ODP) concept.

    Foursquare: A Missed Opportunity for Businesses in London

    Interview with a Flickr A-Lister: meet Paola Cermak

    A few months ago, I blogged about falling out of love with Flickr, as I felt Yahoo! had failed to keep up with the rapidly changing social media landscape, and Flickr users' needs (no Twitter/Facebook integration, lack of innovations within the platform, no status updates but to name a few). I am a huge fan of the Flickr community and I still post occasional photos on my basic Flickr account, which allows me to...

Digital photography and photo-manipulation (aka photo-shopping) are now bona fide Twenty-First Century art genres. But what would you say if I told you that you can now create artwork with your iPhone or iPad? Better still, the artist who’s pioneered the iPhone-art-on-the-go genre, is 72 year-old (!!) critically acclaimed artist More >
