Frontiering Talk

As news breaking stories are increasing using video and pictures taken from mobile phones of people on the scene (remember the recent London bombings), the UK Department for Transport has taken the the idea one step further and created a television ad bringing to attention that 55 teenagers in the UK die of traffic accidents every week.

You can see the ad here.

Not sure if they have thought about it, but I would try and find a way to seed this ad to some of the influential teenagers phones and let the message spread teenager to teenager !

Google has today released an upgrade to it’s Desktop search tool which includes a new feature aptly named the sidebar.

It’s a development that will no doubt bring Google more into direct competition with Microsoft as it attempts to extend it’s footprint of useability beyond the browser. The extended plugins like To Do list, Itunes controller are a nice way to create a kind of all purpose remote control for your computer.

The news and RSS feed function is also a useful way to keep track on your favourite Blogs and it does this automatically.

As usual the interface is very easy to use!
