Prime8: The weekly GGA web roundup 3/11/14

This week Prime8 has decided to smash up all our office furniture and set fire to it all in the name of Bonfire night. He’s also taken to communicating only in the style of set-off fireworks, but that’s a different story.

So here’s this weeks thankfully-Guy-Fawkes-free web roundup. Please stand well back and do not pick up any discarded sparklers. Thank you.

The robots are here and living amongst us  

Well kind of. Artificial Intelligence is anyway. Here’s the 3 breakthroughs that have unleashed AI onto the world.

Content with content 

We love finding cool content for use in our marketing at GGA. OK, sometimes we can be a bit scrappy on the spellchecking front but our hearts are in the right place! Here’s a comprehensive tutorial on how to setup and run content workshops so you can start ramping up your company’s marketing activity. Who knows, maybe one day you could be making as many spelling mistakes as us! 

Vine: The Return! 

We haven’t talked about Vine for ages here on Prime8, but because of last weeks build up to Halloween there’s been some really cool Vine-based output from big companies and famous faces doing the rounds. Get your mince pies round these bad boys. 

Smart Cars = PURE FUTURE TERROR! 

NO!!! THEY’RE EVIL AND MUST BE STOPPED!

Well. They have the potential to be anyway. Welcome to the future.

Cybercrime is getting serious 

Every time I hear ‘cybercrime’ I think of Matthew Broderick averting WW3 in ‘War Games’. You know… just a bit of innocent silliness. Judging by this piece this is probably a slightly naive stance to be taking. 

Man Prime8 is sinister this week!

I’ll see you ‘the modern web’ and raise you ‘web v1.0’ 

It had to happen didn’t it? The internet is coming full-circle and is starting to become nostalgic about how the internet ‘used to be’. From the Tilde club and Facebook’s new app, Rooms (more of which next week), the web is kicking it old-school.

GGA’s website of the week 

A really rather beautiful portfolio site for digital designer, Louise Ansa. Hey designers/developers, this is how to do a showreel! 

… and finally

This is weird but slightly brilliant. If you’re old enough to remember: in 1993 Microsoft went straight from Windows 3.1 to Windows 95. A 93 version has never existed… until now!
