  • 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. They spent the $100 on essentials such as Redbull, beers, snacks and ice-cream, and created 3 iPhone games in just 3 days. That's only 24 hour per game; pretty...

    Foursquare: A Missed Opportunity for Businesses in London

    This is a guest post written by my good friend and fellow Social Media practitioner @GuillaumeFoutry Foursquare, the location based social game, has taken over the social media world.  Given that, you would think that businesses in London – the Twitter capital of the world and a European technological hub – would jump on the band wagon and use it.  But they seem surprisingly reluctant to try it.

    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).
