TED.com is a website that we really like. When we came across a video about Microsoft’s new project, Pivot, built by their cutting edge development lab, LiveLabs we instantly saw its potential. Pivot is not even in its beta form yet, but when completed will allow the user to search and browse content and data in websites with much greater flexibility.
So we have got in there early and asked to help develop this ground-breaking system and Microsoft obliged by providing us with the .NET Controls. We want to include some of our own ideas about how it can be implemented into websites to thoroughly improve, both the user’s search and view experience, and increase sales online. Watch this space!
We’ve discovered a site which takes a really interesting and unique new approach to coming up with great creative solutions – Ideas Bounty.
What is Idea Bounty? The traditional model for purchasing creative output (in the form of creative expertise, Ideas and ultimately communication platforms) has dictated that the client (the person with the problem) pays based on how many people and hours have been used in creating the end product. So it’s rare that a budget allows for more than two or three resources to be allocated to solving a brief. If you truly want to inject the new energy and diverse thinking (Ideas) of hundreds of hungry experts, the costs would grow exponentially as new individuals lend their expertise…enter Idea Bounty. Here you have access to all the Ideas you could possibly imagine but you only have to pay for what you like.
Idea Bounty is the simplest way to hire thousansds of creatives and only pay for the Ideas you want. For creatives it’s an amazing platform that allows you to pitch on various briefs. The bottom line: clients get the best Ideas and creatives get paid for those Ideas.
How does this Social Think Tank Operates? Idea Bounty is a social think tank that provides a secure channel for the world wide creative community to offer solutions to creative briefs. A reward or ‘Bounty’ is offered for the Idea that best answers the brief and the contributor of the Winning Idea gets the cash.
Creatives:The Idea belongs to you until you get paid. Clients:You only pay for what you like. You use it, you buy it.
We want to facilitate the exchange of Ideas based on an open economy. The value of the reward will dictate the quality of the Ideas competing for the Bounty. Simple. Idea Bounty is the social think tank that is going to inject some real inspiration into your business.
Digital White is pleased to announce that we will soon be sharing our office with a new neighbour. Player One is a global leader in the ownership, development and distribution of sports-branded mobile phone content.
Established in 1999 as Player One Ltd, the company quickly carved out its niche exploiting IP in the mobile space. In early 2006, Player One launched Player One Sports, a company dedicated to bringing the best sport action and entertainment to mobile. Over this period, the company has successfully created a library of sports branded mobile content that is second to none.
We are very excited about sharing our office with true number one players!
