"I′m a sucker for projects where interactive media meets the real world and inspires or makes a difference. Tribe Wanted is just such an initiative. It brings people together on-line and on-the-ground - including on a remote island - to tackle the biggest issues of our day in a totally immersed, committed, fun, human way. How the project is run and presented online shows a very thoughtful, skillful approach to networked media"
- Adam Gee (New Media
Commissioner, Channel 4)

Mark Bowness is completely and utterly loving Bebo

Filed Under The ramblings of a creative consultant

I had an awesome day yesterday as I headed over to London straight to Carnaby Street, the home of Bebo to chat with Dan Hewitt the guy who is in charge of business development at Bebo.

You may remember that I worked with Bebo on www.bebo.com/60seconds, which was a competition that the Liverpool Culture Cafe team won. After this competition I made contact with Dan Hewitt who develops the business aspects of Bebo.

Bebo is a fantastic social networking site which is really standing out in the social networking world. Bebo are developing online soaps such as Kate Modern, which has become a real hit. Bebo have also launched an exciting competition with Endemol whereby six lucky Bebo users will win a competition to travel the World, filmed by Endemol and videos will be uploaded on to the Bebo site. Bebo users will also get to interact with these explorers along the way. Find out more on www.bebo.com/thegapyear

There was a lot to discuss with Bebo and I particularly wanted to bring to their attention one project which I am working with some clients on next year which involves theme parks, a very popular UK band and some other exciting aspects. I am afraid I cant really say much more than that. But it is quite a big concept! Needless to say Bebo were very interested and I am hoping that we can sign a deal with them soon.

More to follow… But Bebo rocks!
