Content 360 Zapping show

CIMG2846So here I am at the show… it’s live over at miptv.com

It’s a rather strange set – dressed as it is to give the results in a mastermind style – very odd.

More here as it happens.

So very strange so far – but by far the best way I’ve seen to present what can be a very boring set of awards – great for those involved (they get cash) but not for those of us in the audience.

It’s descended into even more strangeness here as we reach half time – a really funny way to give away prizes – throw your business card (I forgot mine!) at the stage and get a helicopter ride or a mobile phone… now back to the awards. (Photos on the flickr stream of this happening)

CIMG2858He he…. Ashley has just been pulled up on stage and described as Yoda 🙂

Just noticed that Ingrid – the able assistant on-stage keeps changing her tee-shirt – quite funny and slightly odd – wondering if there’s a reason behind it.

On-stage host is turning into a bit of a letch…. but to be fair… Jason DaPonte is a very attractive man 😉

  • Advanced mobile interaction with TV Content – Coded Vision

Great event, very well put together and lots of fun.

    The rather cool Richard Titus (man behind the design of the new BBC Homepage) has made the big time. Nope I’m talking about a quote in The Times, or a mention in the cirucluars, rather he has been quoted in Private Eye. Nick over at the BBC Internet Blog pointed it out and talked about…

  • Innovation… mmm

    So innovation… it’s a rather odd word. You can’t turn around right now without hearing in every direction – “How can we be more innovative?” But if you have to ask that then your pretty screwed already. It’s easy to be innovative within an organisation where it’s expected from day one. GE for example thrives…

    So I’m in the states and hitting the tech world hard… well… mainly I’ve been harassing Tom Coates until he tells me everything he knows about the city and where I can get a decent cup of tea (turns out there isn’t one). But actually that really does seem to be the only bad thing…
