And as always the product ain’t that great, but to their credit the website is breathtaking.
Incidentally Microsoft have also released a limited edition set of artist engraved Zune Originals – also very ‘now’.
Produced by Firstborn.
We have watched the NeverEnding Story, we have wished for a never ending Tim Tam packet and now we have a never ending website for Orange. This cute site from Poke UK…simply never ends.

Daft Punk have released a new widget to promote their latest album. The widget allows users to watch videos, listen to tracks, check out photos and receive the latest news. The widget also gives the opportunity for the user purchase the album online. Seems like a good fit for the social networking medium of Myspace. I feel the design could have had a little more effort put into it but it’s good to see the music industry embracing web 2.0.
Flock is a new web browser that lets you manage, create and share videos, photos, blogs, feeds and comments across social communities. I’ve only scratched the surface of the browser but it allows you to easily manage your accounts across many social communities including Facebook, Flicker, blogger. It also has some great drag and drop feature that allow you to store, save and upload items effortlessly. The browser is heavily based on Mozilla Firefox. I’m not sure what the take up rate will be but if you are heavily involved with online communities this could be a great time saver.

One of our most exciting initiatives this year has been in evangelising digital marketing through a training programme called ‘digital fitness’. The main message to marketers is: get your hands dirty, experiment, play with this stuff … and step outside your comfort zone.
We’ve spent time with some fantastic people from within our own organisation and with clients. So far almost 200 people have been exposed to this 2 day digital bootcamp.
One question that I get asked a lot, from newbies and experienced folk alike, is how to keep up with the constantly changing landscape.
The glib answer to this is “get stuck into RSSâ€.
But RSS only provides the best mechanism to pull in content. From web sites and blogs to podcasts, bookmarks or even photostreams and slideshows, RSS is key.
But what about the content sources?
With over 100 million blogs listed on Technorati there is a vast amount of noise to filter out.
So, to those of you who’ve asked the question, here are a few of our current favourite marketing feeds and sources. Feel free to share these – and please tell us about yours.
The BeST Design Awards are a national award programme of the Designers Institute of New Zealand, recognising New Zealand’s best graphic, product and spatial design.
These are in my opinion the two standout winners in the interactive media and website design category:
Band: minuit.co.nz
Brand: electrocity.co.nz
Enjoy.
