Muirhoward recently sponsored the Cambridge Mobile App Group (CMAG) April event at the Fountain Inn in Cambridge.
A get together of mobile app developers, entrepreneurs and enthusiasts in the area, it’s an opportunity to network, drink beer and be inspired by great talks from those active in the mobile space.
On the agenda this month was the story of SwiftKey, without a doubt one of the success stories of the burgeoning Cambridge tech start-up scene.
Most of you out there (who aren’t hiding under a rock) would have noticed yet another change to how you experience Facebook with the introduction of “Timeline” late last year. And, despite initial moans and groans that Facebook has changed things on you again, and how inconvenient and unfair it is, not much else has changed, and for many day-to-day users (of Facebook’s 845 million active monthly users) this is somewhat true. But apart from the new layout (some cool uses of the new cover image), better interaction and other benefits you did and didn’t notice from this change there’s one important thing that many users are still oblivious to. This key change, despite Facebook’s “best” efforts to advise users is PRIVACY.
Last week, a five-strong muirhoward squad landed in Spain to launch a new internal project ‘Golf Day Live’ at the EGCOA (European Golf Course Owners Association) conference in sunny Marbella.
Golf Day Live is an app for smart phones, which allows golfers to keep score and feature in a live leaderboard of the event they are participating in.
We love this new multimedia exploration ‘album app’ created by Björk (and a vast group of collaborators, including artists, designers, scientists, instrument makers, writers and software developers) for her new album Biophilia. All of the albums song’s will gradually become available inside Biophilia as interactive experiences.
“Introduced by David Attenborough, Björk’s new app is key to her ambitious Biophilia album and promises to break new ground in the way we consume music.” As seen on the Guardian Music website.
