I know a few of you are LEGO fans, so make sure you check out ‘The LEGO Story’ which is a beautifully animated short film telling the story of how the worlds most famous toy platform (if you can call it that) came to be, created as a celebration for their 80th birthday. Enjoy it over a coffee!
There are some good tips on vision and determination….

We just spotted this augmented reality app from Lego. Could this be the future for the toy giant and see it moving into the online gaming world?
The game itself is so simple it removes the fear of adoption but at the same time it is very additive. Have a quick look below and see what you think.

As mentioned a number of times on the C24 blog, an area of application development that looks really interesting is within the automotive sector. Below Mercedes-Benz talk about how they are looking at an App Store. Please see below:
The chief designer for Mercedes-Benz, Gordon Wagener, has said that the company wants to offer Internet applications for their cars in the future.
We have our own telematics research and graphics pre-development operation in Palo Alto (California). In addition, we can imagine developing a so-called ‘Mercedes App Store,’ with apps that make the life of the Mercedes driver even more comfortable.
This echoes Audi’s research into an integrated app store and BMW’s app system, available on its 2011-12 models, which includes a streaming internet radio service you can operate using the car’s controls.
A dedicated app store from Mercedes, for creating and distributing its own apps, would be the next big step for the brand, following its introduction of iPad integration and model-specific apps for other platforms.

At C24 we are always interested in new and innovative ways that businesses use technology to connect with their customers. In the video below McDonalds have thought up an innovative way to interact with their customers that steps away from the traditional ‘do you want fries with that’ mentality.
Geo location is big, but you need ideas to make it fun and more importantly remarkable. In the video McDonald’s have managed to deliver both. Players play for treats using the very latest technologies, but in order to play they need to download the app if they last a certain time and ecoupon is sent to their phone earning them free food at the nearest McDonald’s.
McDonald’s have managed to deliver new ideas, simplicity and engagement and we must say that we are ‘lovin it’

At C24 we get introduced to new ideas all the time some to do with hosting and managed services others to do with just great marketing. The video below shows how the spin on a simple idea that has been used before creates great brand association. The fact that this has happened in Brazil and not the usual US or European city shows how Coca-Cola is loved everywhere. As the guys at Coca-Cola say please enjoy.
