Jeez’s it’s getting good! A quick update on aMap the Argument Mapping widget/gadget which launched 10 days ago (read about it here). It’s been spreading and so far it’s had full articles on TechCrunch and the Daily Telegraph site since it went live.

Even better than that, this first version of the aMap widget/gadget has ignited bloggers’ passions and they’ve been leaving some very ‘constructive’ comments on how to improve it for the next version, like,

• “Great, although it can still develop the argument threading – the concept is interesting.”, James.
• “the idea is good, except the map is too shaky and is difficult to read”, ujjwal kumar.

So here’s looking forward to the version 2, and Thought Den working with Delib on the Interaction, Flash and PHP to make their product even more successful! Because last night, it screamed past 1000 arguments created (see below) which isn’t too shabby!

That’s the sound of our own trumpets screaming to the heavens as we find ourselves in the industry magazine NMA (New Media Age).

The article is all about the Happy Packages project and covers how Thought Den and Mobile Pie are working together in the Pervasive Media Studio to produce a sexy iPhone application aimed at friends leaving fun trails for each other.

If you’d like to read more about the initial Happy Packages project, take a look at some of our posts.

Small side note, it’s worth mentioning that they managed to spell our name wrong and we’re now ‘Thought Deeds’. Also while we’re at it, it’s a good time to mention the Evening Post’s misspelling of Ben’s (our creative director) surname a few weeks ago. Good morning, Mr Pembleton!

Sunday was absolutely beautiful! There were surprisingly few hangovers among us so we took the plunge (literally – Leigh Woods is near vertical!) and went for bike ride to Pill. I highly recommend it. Not difficult, very beautiful, and there’s lovely little boozer at the end, where you can watch the funny locals play with their out-board motors (ooh-er missus) It’s Bike Route 41, if anyone’s actually interested in pursuing this decidedly non-digital activity…though who knows, perhaps there’ll be some Happy Packages waiting for you if you give it a whirl in a week or two
