Hello Thought Den blog, I haven’t paid you enough attention lately. But here’s some good news! The Fire Kills campaign managed and seeded by Team Rubber and built by Thought Den has clocked more 800,000 plays. The COI (Central Office of Information. Sounds a bit George Orwell dunnit?) are thrilled and plan to make a case study of it, because we’re all just so good at what we do…
In other news, Thought Den have joined Simon Games in the igfest engine room, provided commercial-minded support. This basically means we’ll be pestering some bad-ass brands over the next few weeks to get them involved. It’s too good a proposition to miss. Look at the similar event-based marketing activity of brands like Red Bull (Air Race, Formula 1), Virgin (V-Feset), Orange (Glastonbury), T-Mobile (Trafalgar Singalong etc) and Jack Daniels with their music programme.
If anyone has any thoughts on how we could pimp igfest, please do get in touch. And if you want to volunteer to help run the festival, please get in touch. And if you want to play - get your arse down to Bristol town centre on 11, 12 and 13 of September for some serious frivolous mental fun-ness. Over n out Cap’n.
This is such an ace promo for the new Transformers film. They’re out there somewhere, attempting to take over earth, and what better way to raise the alarm than posting videos on You Tube! REAL LIVE footage of Transformers…
No we didn’t make it but we’re gonna find out who did and shake their hand…
Sometimes we’ve hit a road-block when we’re trying to make Flash talk to the External Interface in our MySpace applications.
The Flash is having a great time and is more than happy to call Javascript with ExternalInterface when it wants. But when Javascript wants to chat back… beep beep. “Please leave a message”.
Flash appears to ignore the call, and leaves Javascipt in an error state and needing ice-cream.
To help you avoid that little relationship problem here’s the fix to the problem. Add the following to your code,
Flash’s Sandbox is set to divert all calls by default and blocks any chat. However as soon as you’ve added the allowDomain. Flash shouts, “HELLO!”, and it’s all back on again.
Right now I’m really enjoying AudioBoo.fm, the iPhone blogging app. It’s a project spawned out of the 4iP fund which allows it’s users to leave a short audio commentry about whatever they want.
Check my latest boo out here. They’re not always Thought Den material, however at minimum it’ll be mostly be rather un-insightful social/technological commentary.
