Central Station?

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.

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? One answer is the sheer amount of data involved. Google recently announced University funding to t… Continue

Now we at Bleep Purple have never been a fan of Market Intelligence or as we like to call it ‘future gazing’ because in general most reports follow this general formula: T… Continue
