By Simon T Small at January 25, 2012 | 11:38 am | 2 Comments
In summary Download a PDF of this report here A new wave of domains is coming. It could change the way people engage with the internet and technology but it’s all speculation for now. Due to costs, rules, the technical skills required and the lack of clear benefits, most brands in Australia should hesitate before getting involved in this round of generic Top Level more...

Wow. What a moment, it took nearly 5 minutes for all of us to come to grips with the fact that we'd actually won B&T's Interactive Agency of the Year... A first for VJ and a great way to round out what has been an amazing year. It's been a year of new clients like Sunshine Coast Tourism, David Jones, Lynx & JB HIFI; lots of more...

DJs's biggest event of the year is the Spring/Summer Fashion Launch and VJ worked overnight to give DJs fans the quickest ever event wrap-up the following more...

One of the most exciting and important roles we play as an industry is to push boundaries, innovate, try new things and make the impossible possible. We all know about Facebook & Google's well publicised innovation programs (and of course VJ has its very own Code Innovation Competition) it was great news to hear ISOBAR (our global network) launch our very more...

You probably didn’t even notice, but Kara and I (Smallsy) were fortunate enough to spend some time in sunny Cannes recently and just got back. Well, that’s not completely true, actually. I’m back, but poor Kara is out of action getting X-Rays to work out what kind of operation(s) she’ll need to fix her knee. And no, it wasn’t the result of revelry, but rather an more...

Get a massive projector (or few), do some crazy 3D modelling & video, add some music and you've got an amazing branded experience called 3D (or 4D) Projection Show. It's not new, but some of the recent examples are pretty impressive, so I thought I'd compile a bunch of examples I've come across recently. Anyone seen any other awesome examples? I can't wait to see some more...

Facebook launches Friendship Pages
By Simon T Small at November 1, 2010 | 1:56 pm | 0 Comment
In true Facebook style a new feature was recently released called "Friendship Pages" where it sums up the shared activity between you and a friend. I think I like it but I'm not sure - it feels a little creepy... You browse to your friends profile page and click 'View you and X'. See me and a mate Calvin below. It pulls in photos you've both been tagged in, more...
