Did You Notice The Google Bouncing Balls?

Google Bouncing Balls Did Spell Hidden Message

Did you notice the Google Bouncing Balls on Tuesday?

Many blogs and broadsheets were wondering what the meaning of the logo was as it did not click through to a search and had no 'alt' text explaining what the logo was commemorating.

Search Engine Watch contacted Google's PR department for a response and were given the same message as everyone else was reporting. A spokesperson referred them to a recent tweet and simply offered this cryptic explanation for the logo, saying it was "fast, fun and interactive, just the way we think search should be".

Interesting article from Search Engine here regarding the Google Logo on Tuesday.

 

Touch Screen Technology in 2014

 

This film is from tat, the Swedish company who develop the gesture powered 3D home screens' for Android, which are set to hit phones on the high street later this year.

The beauty of the film is that rather than making the future feel like a far-fetched fantasy, they show that this level of technology is in fact almost within our grasp.

It’s also interesting that the future in this film is an Android, not an Apple based one.

The Wilderness Downtown

Some snazzy HTML 5 used for this interactive film, giving you an idea of what can, and will be done with it in the future.

Word of warning, DO close all other Apps on your computer before running, since it is pretty processor intensive. And if you have the Chrome browser, try it in that. Otherwise Firefox is probably your best bet!

Interdirect Expands

Three Peacocks on the balcony at Interdirect's office

For most companies, summers are periods of lessened activity as team members and clients take holidays and recharge batteries. However, Interdirect’s team’s batteries must be positively Duracell Bunny-esque, as the summer has been a period of intense activity seeing tremendous successes such as significant account wins, new technological achievements and considerable growth in Interdirect’s team of talented and dedicated professionals.

Most notable of all is Interdirect’s PR division, which has only just celebrated its first year anniversary and has already doubled in size! This is a fantastic achievement given the continued challenging financial climate and clearly bucks the gloomy trend of almost daily bad news stories heard on the evening news.

So what is the secret of all this success? Flippantly, Interdirect’s team attribute it to the arrival the flock of peacocks that have adopted the car park as their home (they are good luck symbols in India). But more probably it is due to Interdirect’s great team and fantastic clients.

As Interdirect gears up to celebrate its 15th birthday, it would like to thank all of its clients for keeping it so busy. Interdirect would be nothing without you.
