Ivan Pope Central Station?

Just wondering whether there is any news on the Central Station project - announced almost a year ago now, must be looking good.

Which basically means it allows anyone with 10 minutes, a little creativity and an interest (even a passing interest) in animation create a 3D animated clip. In the couple of months we've bee… Continue

Meagan Dechen The Gestalt of Social Networking

There is a lot of talk recently about the value of social networking sites. Facebook is said to be worth 10 billion(1), and even the relatively new (but hugely popular) Twitter has an initial funding package of 155 million US dollars (2). If Twitter’s investors hope for an average return of 7-8 times, that makes it another billion-dollar social networking site. But where does this value come from?

Jamie Laux Mobile Content - A View from India

(as always you can get a better read on our Tumblr blog bleeppurple.tumblr.com) A while back we were asked to do some research and present our thoughts on the market for digital content in India.
