There have already been a number of write-ups of the event, but the most interesting one came from Alan Patrick who was not even at the event. He was following the [...]

Travelling home tonight on the tube, I picked up a copy of London Lite, one of London’s two free evening newspapers.
On one of the [...]
As a non iPhone user, I almost missed the news from Steve Job’s Mac World address that the iPhone would be receiving new firmware. Because I don’t own the device, I have no need to update the firmware, but reading this official Google blog post, something caught my eye.

I came across a new site called dopplr.com via another blog reference, and also featured in the Guardian.
For those familiar with twitter, which essentially tells you where your friends are and what they are doing, dopplr takes this concept into a business context and allows connected business travellers to share their travel plans - so you [...]
Saw this very smart piece of digital outdoor from CBS Outdoor who look after advertising on the underground system in London. It really shows you how digital creative will transform outdoor - well it made me stop, look and take a video of it!
This creative is being played out on High Definition flat panel LCD [...]
