We love the internet, and the curious little browsers who find amazing ‘stuff’. One great example of such ‘stuff’ is the following: If you click here and drive past the Donkey, and then look back, it appears as if the Google Maps car drive-by’d the poor lil’ fella. Google did however respond to the charge, saying […]
We love the way Gmail implements beautiful changes… Today we noticed the new compose mechanism that allows you to still browse emails whilst typing a new message. It’s slick, it’s simple and is pretty damn cool. What do you think?
According to a Google Lat Long blog post, you can now browse and find locations inside more than 40 buildings in the UK with the latest version of Google Maps for Android devices. Although most are in London, we do see Manchester’s airport there in the list. We see this navigation assistance becoming more and […]
There are many campaigns around the internet trying to stop companies like Facebook and Google from using the information you share with them to target ads at you, but we disagree with them. Not only as marketeers, but mostly as consumers, we find that the more targeted an advert is, the more successful it is. […]
Another playful Easter egg by Google was spotted earlier today. Search for Zerg Rush on Google (or click here you lazy people) and click on the attacking little O’s to take them out before they destroy your search results. *Update: You need to use Google.com if you are in the UK as it doesn’t work […]

We are currently busy testing an unreleased plugin that will allow users of our clients’ blogs to login and comment using any of the big three social networks. The tests are currently being run on our very own OnThisIsland.com where we have successfully setup the additional login levels above the existing Facebook login system. Once […]
We noticed earlier today that Blackberry’s Internet Services had been down in Manchester, United Kingdom. A few moments ago, Blackberry announced (via their fan-page on Facebook) that there was a problem with their services in Europe, Africa and other regions. The question popped straight into our minds… as people became visually upset about the outage […]
