Healthy clients

Since the launch of Capcom's European portal things have gone rather well. With the client's permission here are some performance stats. Capcom are a very busy outfit and promotion is ongoing but we like to think we had a little something to do with this. Not bad even if we do say so ourself!
(all stats are % increases over May last year)

Back in the game

So, we've been away for quite some time on IdeasUnltd but client work will always prevail. Anyway the blog will continue where it left off and try to bring new ideas from around the web. Also, DMG has begun tweeting, find us at www.twitter.com/dialmediagroup and follow.

The first thing to talk about is the latest Google maps / Twitter mashup from Kleenex. This could bring all sorts of things to mind but it's actually pretty tame. A good idea tho. Kleenex is encouraging people to follow them on Twitter so that whenever they sneeze they tweet with a tag (#atishoo) and their postcode. Kleenex back room boys then plot the sneeze on a Google map. This builds up a map of sneeze hotspots.

Whether this is a clever idea or an exercise in stating the bleeding obvious (thanks Siralan), it's a good use of linking two popular applications to add value to a brand's online offering.

DMG's new corporate uniform?

Check these out. For the ultimate mobile workstation I think we should all sport a pair of these trousers. As bastions of cutting edge technology DMG should embrace all new developments, wearable or not. Plus we could save on desk space. As well as the Bluetooth keyboard these also have a mouse pocket and 'joystick controller' built in behind the zip. Seriously.

They're also available in DMG colours!

Community Fix gathers momentum

Here's a glowing article singing our praises on the Isle of Wight portal. We've also got the site linked on another half dozen or so community related sites; it appears people are listening and starting to think the same way as we do. Reports are growing all the time.


Community Fix for Isle of Wight.
If your concerned about graffiti, dog mess, fly tipping, pot holes, dumped cars etc on the Isle of Wight a new website Community Fix will automatically inform the local council. Community Fix is a new website that allows local residents to get interactive and pinpoint eyesores and issues in their community on a Google map. The Community Fix system then automatically sends the details to the relevant council, this is an excellent example of a website that can allow members of a community to contribute to their community and make it a better place to live in.
Posting a new incident on Community Fix is so easy and from the website they confidently explain:
“Community Fix works directly with county councils, local police forces and local borough councils so that when a resident reports an incident it gets sent directly to the department responsible for fixing it.”
Whilst the Isle of Wight Council Website contains relevant sections in which to report community issues, you do have to conduct a sometimes elongated search. The Community Fix website is just incredibly easy to access and encourages online interaction, participation and collaboration in order to achieve a common goal.
Community Fix appears to have all bases covered with a fixed link and as we at Island Pulse actively encourage community participation we have added a direct link to Community Fix here:

Worldwide collaboration video from Google

Google has produced this video to promote Gmail and show how an email may travel around the world. It invited users to create short original video which showed the M-velope passing from one side of the frame to the other. The result is pretty cool and it shows where the vids have been sent in on a Google map below. Here's the link;

Community Fix is live!!!

Well it's been a long time coming, but Community Fix is finally live. It is the place to report issues in and around your local communities. Simply search for the location of the incident you wish to report, stick a pin in the map and fill in a form. We send it to the relevant council and hey presto it gets fixed! Actually we can't make them fix it but we can tell them about it!
