Hotmail hopes to hook new users with ad campaign

Ubiquitous online email service Hotmail hopes to snag some new devotees with the help of a new advertising campaign hitting London over the next three days. Microsoft will be pushing its webmail service with the help of ‘The New Busy’ advertising campaign, which highlights some new time-saving features and is running on buses, black cabs and billboards around the capital. However, the adverts will also be joined by a number of initiatives in the form of interactive areas for the public to enjoy in Golden Square, Canary Wharf and Broadgate. These areas are designed to celebrate the service’s new time-saving features and will offer Londoners some quirky suggestions of what they can do with the time gained. The events, dubbed The World of New Busy, have a chill out and viewing area with a Hotmail showcase as well as some very special areas, including a special green screen that allows guests to have unique photos taken. Also on offer will be a Health Farm - where the public can learn hula hooping, Morris dancing and iconic dance moves - and a Frivolity Fields area - where knitting, hand massage and throat singing lessons will be on offer.

Google 360 Street View

For the good of mankind Google need to let the rest of us know exactly what they do to come up with such fantastic and innovative ideas. For now I will have to be content with the constant stream of material they provide me with for these articles. The most recent offering that has me climbing the walls in excitement being “Google Street View”. I can practically imagine the meeting in which an employee stood up and proclaimed “let’s drive specially modified cars down every street in the entire world and create a three dimensional virtual representation that anybody can then browse at home for free”.

Social network Foursquare approaches 1m users

Social networking service Foursquare, a relative newcomer to the game and certainly to the United Kingdom, looks set to eminently crown its one millionth user, according to an official tweet from the internet start up. Just over one year old, Foursquare has become popular with those living in large metropolises, especially those in the United States. The service tracks a user’s movement via their mobile phones, recognising when a patron arrives, or ‘checks in’, to a local business or attraction. Foursquare tracks a signed-up user’s movements by utilising GPS in their phones and, if they visit certain establishments often enough, they can become ‘mayors’, meaning the individual with the most visits. In turn, businesses often offer rewards for such a title. The website’s run up to the one million user mark was tweeted 21 April, with the company stating “We’re closing in on 1 million users! Current count is 969,775. Looks like that’s we may have something to toast during Friday Happy Hour :)” A more recent post revealed that the company has been receiving requests from 100 establishments each hour enquiring about Foursquare specials
