MotoRokr Vid Peek
Here's David Elsewhere 'demonstrating' the ModeShift feature of the Moto E8 (ModeShift lets you switch the device between music player and phone mode in one simple click).
There's a few places you can go to see all the Motorola Rokr stuff we've just launched...
- There's a YouTube Channel where you can see it all.
- Or the offical Motorola MotoRokr E8 Experience page.

David Elsewhere and MotoRokr E8
To demonstrate the features of the new Motorola E8. Poke enlisted the help of legendary mover David Elsewhere (to call him a dancer doesn't really describe the half of it). We worked with Motorola to find a way that could combine content and product demo in a fresh way. Maybe even making it interesting enough that people might talk about (and distribute) a product demo...

Big Thanks To All Balloon Pilots
Well after a week of ballooning around it's all over. Playballoonacy.com has closed down. The race is finished and the winners have been announced.
Reginald Ringtail the Raccoon came first followed closely by a couple of Dolphins.
There's a load of people to thank:
- Thanks to everyone who raced balloons - we hope you had fun.
- Thanks to all the people who let the race pass across their sites - we hope you got some new visitors who stuck around and checked out your page(s).
- Thanks to all the people who worked to make it happen (they know who they are and how much work it really took!).
- Thank you to the internet for not breaking ;-)
- And last of all thank you to Orange for taking a punt and believing in us (again).
The Race is on! Give your mates a Buddy Boost
So, at lunchtime Tuesday we released over 30,000 balloons out onto the Internet. They're now floating free, being guided by their owners and boosted by their friends. Balloonacy has taken off, and we're hooked. If you thought Powerpoint was a productivity killer, just get a balloon and watch the hours disappear!
The Balloon Race starts tomorrow.
We're all holding our breath. Or we would be if we had any left after blowing up all them balloons.
The Topshop Helmut Newton Photo Machine
Fancy yourself as a model? A stylist? A photographer?
Get down to Topshop and you can be all three. The Newton Machine is here and it's not just for 20-something fashionistas - there's all sorts; girls, boys, girls and boys, men and women - there's even a couple doing something rather dodgy from behind.
Check out what's going on at Newton Machine Topshop for our latest collaboration with everyone's High Street favourite.
Oh! - and you could win a trip to Berlin and stay in the super chic Lux 11 Hotel...
You can read more about it in the portfolio.
Prepare for launch
We're proud to pre-launch the World's First Internet Balloon Race, to promote the launch of Orange's Animal tariffs for pay as you go customers.
As far as we're aware this is the first time that balloons have been set off across the web. And the balloons aren't just going to float over a little bit of the web. They're going to race over as much of the web as wants to take part - excluding sites that feature naked folk doing bad stuff.
To sign up for a balloon visit: http://www.playballoonacy.com
The person whose balloon goes the furthest over the 7 days of the race is going to get a killer prize. It's an £18,000 holiday to Ibiza for you and 7 mates. 18 grand gets you quite a bloody awesome holiday, even in Ibiza. And there's a load of daily prizes too.
If you've got a site / blog you can go here to get balloons to go over your site - we're hoping this will bring lots and lots of balloon fans to your pages once the race gets going.
Note: it's only in the registration stage just now - the real magic starts in a couple of weeks when the balloons set sail and the race begins...
Spot the Bull - It's Back & It's Better
Spot the Bull is back. And, it’s bigger and better than last year.
Orange were so pleased with Derek (the Bull) last year that they demanded a sequel. We auditioned far and wide, but couldn't do better than going back to the source. So, this year we're proud to present Winston - son of Derek. He's younger (obviously) and more nimble, so nailing exactly where he'll be at 3pm each day is a bit more challenging.
But by totally redesigning the site and adding these new features we've made it a whole lot more fun too.
- team play allowing you to win up to 8 tickets per group of friends
- live multi-cam video streaming from the field
- real time stats and bull-tracking - enabling strategic team play
If you want to win Glastonbury tickets - this is officially the biggest ticket givaway competition in the world - so get stuck in.
Play Spot the Bull now. Get your friends to play with you, and you’ll get a higher chances of winning those treasured tickets.
