    Using social content to drive sales through search

    There’s a very wrong assumption floating around the heads of many CMO’s and small business owners alike, that having a Facebook page and Twitter profile is enough, because social media is this new and wonderful thing which is going ‘to do wonders’ for your brand. I am sure we’ve all had clients who have asked for thousands of fans and followers, as quickly as possible without any content, or budget to create conte...

    A few social, search and mobile trends for 2012

      I am not usually a big fan of prediction posts, particularly when it comes to social, but recently spotted a handful of predictions by industry experts worth mentioning.   Without further ado, here are a handful interesting social, search and mobile trends for 2012.

I absolutely love art, and find iPhone art, particularly Hockney’s pieces a fascinating new genre.

The folks at Tha Ltd. in Japan have developed Framed*, a platform for new artforms, which lets you display digital art including interactive art, web applications, motion graphics and illustrations on giant screens.

Framed* consists of an iPhone app that links to a LED display, allowing digital works of art to be displayed, you can even manipulate content using a virtual touchpad. The app controls the display, allowing you to select from a range of artworks in the Framed* store which artists can upload their work to.

Better still, the artist who’s pioneered the iPhone-art-on-the-go genre, is 72 year-old (!!) critically acclaimed artist  David Hockney.

After creating a number of pieces on his iPhone (using a nifty app called Brushes), the world famous pop artist is not creating artwork on the iPad; “the iPad is far more subtle than the iPhone, and in fact it really is like a drawing pad”, adds Hockney.
