Twurn Twurn is a Twitter app that helps groups of people resolve heated conflicts, such as who has to make the coffee (or take out the rubbish, or whatever) and then tweets the outcome to everyone involved.
Twurn uses True Randomness to decide whose twurn it is to do something. Once you have entered a task to Twurn, the eternal mystery of Atmospheric Noise is used to create a truly random (and fair) outcome, and then Twurn tweets the task and who has to perform it.
Our humble vision is for Twurn to solve the world's conflicts, one twurn at a time.

http://expensure.com/Travelstormer Travelstormer is a pioneering new web service that helps people to Unravel Group Travel. Travelstormer was formed by a couple of keen travellers who reckon Travel Planning for groups is far from solved.
Nobody is a fan of complex excel spreadsheets, disjointed emails, Skype and Facebook conversations. You too will probably agree that there has to be a better way for a group to reach a collective decision.
The excitement of going somewhere new and spending quality time with friends and family shouldn't be dull and boring to plan. It should be social and fun.
Wouldn't it be great if someone decided to do something about this? Yes, yes it would.
With online brainstorms to generate travel options and ideas, the ability to crowd source travel tips and suggestions via Twitter and Facebook and a group decision-making process to help you avoid the problem of too many travel options and not enough clarity on which ones to choose. Travelstormer puts simplicity back into travel planning.

Carbon Voyage Carbon Voyage is a new web-based car-booking service that reduces both carbon emissions and travel costs by linking your journey milage to an approved carbon offset scheme and by pairing users through a unique real-time travel-share engine.
These two steps radically cut the cost and carbon footprint associated with using a private car hire. Clients range from individuals to FTSE companies.
Carbon Voyage is both globally focused and locally effective. In London alone there are 22,000 licensed taxis and 46,000 private hire vehicles in daily operation. Multiply the number of vehicles by a days worth of fares and you can see how the emissions (and potential reductions) start to add up.

eBay – Innovate We created the eBay Innovate hub around the idea of 'demand driven development'. The Innovate hub fosters a direct dialogue between eBay users and the development community, driving growth of the eBay experience through the creation of user-requested tools, gadgets, apps and plugins to help people buy and sell using eBay.
Users can seed ideas onto the development radar, where the community can vote on the seed idea's value, bringing it to the attention of developers who are hungry for new projects that have user support before they are even created. Take a look for yourself.

Polydor Records – The Hives promo tool We've created several promo tools for Polydor, the latest being a Flash-based desktop application for Scando clique The Hives (they sound kind of like The Domino State, but not quite as good).
This application sits on a users desktop and ties into the OS, counting down till the album release date, at which point it explodes and reveals a link to the new release on iTunes.

eBay – StyleSlam on Facebook & Bebo StyleSlam is a Facebook and Bebo application that combines fashion, gaming and competition. Harnessing the social interaction that sits at the heart of an online network, StyleSlam brings to life the fun of trading and securing a bargain on eBay. StyleSlam engages users by embedding into their online profiles and tying into their social interactions and daytime-playtime experience.
The application allows players to create an avatar that looks just like them, then buy, sell, wear and gift items from the marketplace, and rate the outfits of their friends. StyleSlam also features celebrity guest style advisors; most recently this involved a promotion with pop sensation Girls Aloud. The band were featured in-game with players being able to buy and wear their outfits and fan t-shirts, and receive daily style tips. Players could click though to iTunes to buy the band's latest single.
Cian Weeresinghe, Internet Marketing Manager at eBay UK, comments: “Fashion is an incredibly popular category on eBay. A piece of women's clothing sells every 5 seconds on the site. The Styleslam application combines a passion for fashion with the thrill of bagging a bargain, as you move seamlessly from dressing your avatar in the latest trends, to clicking through to eBay to buy the items for real”.
