Much nicer.

A Google+ inspired change perhaps?

  1. Watched the O2 Cash Manager Advert.
  2. Googled for the advert, first hit gives me visitforinfo.com
  3. Opened Spotify and listened to full track featured on the ad, I’ve Got Your Number by Passion Pit.

30 seconds. Done.

Also works with tram stops (or at least those ones in Wimbledon).

Spotify allows me to listen to pretty much anything I want streamed from a huge back catalogue on the web. It even lets me scrobble my plays to last.fm.

It’s ad-supported, so I just enjoyed a 30 second ad form DirectGov. Not too bad, and actually well marketed – by using this service I am by practice a digitally literate individual who’d probably be best of using government services via the net.

Thanks to Cat for giving me the heads up on this one! If only could install it at work…

In a world in which information is like air, what happens to power?

New technologies and a closely related culture of collaboration present radical new models of social organisation. This project brings together leading practitioners and thinkers in this field and asks them to determine the opportunity for government.

Its an okay widget, a little something that promotes gets Radio 1′s listeners to promote various shows by expressing their own music tastes.

What is more impressive however is the ‘share this’ widget that came with it. It gave me a whole host of options, the most impressive of which was the ability to post to my self-hosted WordPress blog straight from the page. And I could even chose an existing category to post it in.

Well smart I’d say.
