Where is Jont ?

the Orange unlit tour

As part of the first wave of Orange's new 'I Am' activity we've put together the Orange Unlit Tour.

Visit the blog and see what's going on right now.

Star-of-tomorrow Jont, and his trusty sidekick Dave are out on the road in their tour van. We've pimped it out with all the latest gizmos and gadgets so you can see every detail of their every move. Harnessing the power of Twitter, Flickr, YouTube and a load of other handy web-stuff you'll be full to the brim with Jonty goodness.

But they're not on just any old tour. It's a tour with an Orange difference. It's a tour that's made by everyone. The venues are peoples' houses. And the support bands are acts who've got involved via MySpace.

The proper edited first gig will be online soon on MySpace TV - we'll stick it up here as soon as it's ready...

And if you want to follow where they're going and what they're up to there's a handy widget just like the one below...

I Am Mark Beaumont

This is Mark Beaumont. He's the star of Orange's latest 'I Am' commercial. This year he broke the round-the-world cycling record, covering 18,000 miles in 194 days, which is pretty incredible when you think about it. Poke asked Orange if we could shoot a documentary to accompany the ad that viewers of interactive telly would be able to watch by pressing the red button, and they said "yes".

You can view it here too.

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...

David Elsewhere and MotoRokr E8

Elsewhere

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

The World's First Balloon Race Across the Internet

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).
So thank you all. We're missing you already...

The Race is on! Give your mates a Buddy Boost

The World's First Baloon Race Across The Internet

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!
