The recent "Net Neutrality" agreement proposed by Google and Verizon has brought this issue back to the forefront. It is the topic at the top of the agenda for "Telco’s" Executives, Tech journalist and 'Free Speech' advocates. What makes this debate so important is that it will decide the future of the Internet. Since its inception the Internet has operated under a common agreement of "Network Neutrality", whose core principal "advocates no restrictions by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and governments on content, sites, platforms, on the kinds of equipment that may be attached, and no restrictions on the modes of communication allowed". However, provisions on the Verizon-Google deal and other previous legislative proposals have skewed people’s understanding of how the ‘Open-Internet’ works and why it’s important for it to retain the current principles that have allowed the web to flourish. ISPs are lobbying strongly to remove, or at the very least redefine Net Neutrality in their favour. There are many facts to surrounding this issue but there are five we cannot afford to lose track of.

Now that our digital devices prominently feature touch interfaces, the ways of interacting with the devices and the content they present have begun to displace the methods of interaction made popular via traditional methods of human-computer interaction, most notably the monitor-mouse-keyboard setup. The interactions that went from physical to digital in the late 70s and early 80s are now merging – tapping, flicking and turning our digital devices allows us to physically interact with our digital content in ways not possible before now. Furthermore, these new levels and forms of interaction allow (and perhaps require) us to re-imagine the way we produce and deliver digital content.

A tradeshow experience without supporting multimedia assets will no longer be enough to get your company the attention it deserves on the convention center floor.

Last week we discussed "Video For Everyone," a great option for delivering video to a large audience independent of the format supported by their device. This prompted several discussions on the state of video on HTML Emails.

You may have noticed the New Year is upon us in full swing. This year’s troubled economy brings understandably scaled-back holiday marketing efforts; the thought of sounding too cheery or boastful has led clients to seek out a more tempered tone in comparison to that of holidays past.

While perusing the day’s status updates on Facebook, I came across a video parody of not only one of my favorite singers, but of one of my favorite typefaces. You can imagine my excitement in finding that someone somehow had managed to creatively combine the two.
