Atlantic Participates in Adobe’s Flash 10.1 Mobile Launch

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

Today Atlantic launched our first round of mobile websites in conjunction with our partners at Adobe. We launched 8 artist’s sites targeting Android 2.2 and Flash 10.1, with iPhone and iPod Touch coming later this month. This is a launch we were very proud to be a part of, and a project will be iterating on in weeks to come.

I’ll be posting more infomation on our new sites in the next few weeks, everything from getting started in mobile web development to Flash 10.1 specific issues.

Special thanks to Mike Mignano and Rob Beatty on my team at Atlantic Records for their continued help on this project.

Check out the press release here.

Check out my quote below:

“Flash gives us another great avenue to deliver music and videos to our fans on mobile devices, and beyond. Scale is key for us and Adobe Flash Player 10.1 allows us to create a great mobile experience, using content we already have, and familiar tools. We have already optimized some of our most popular artists’ websites for Flash 10.1 and are working to deliver new ones each week.”
– Eric Snowden, senior director, Creative and Technology, Atlantic Records

Stickybits – Attach Comments or Media to any Barcode

Monday, April 26th, 2010

Stickybits is a service that lets you attach comments or media to any barcode. Instead of generating QR codes, you can make an object social by using the barcode it already has. To tag an object without a barcode you can either download a custom code to print yourself or buy Stickybits barcode stickers.

Download the Stickybits iPhone or Android application and track down a barcode. Using the app you can tag an object, view your tag archives, or see what other people have tagged near you. Each item gets its own page on Stickybits.com where you can comment, upload media and follow the conversation from the web.

Frankly, I’ve been waiting patiently for QR codes to matter but with companies like Stickybits using pre-existing targets, and the huge advancements in image recognition software QR has a hard road ahead. Stickybits is currently only on the iPhone and Android platform, but their unique strategy around making codes social may push them to the front of the pack.

Check out Stickybits and get the app here.

Thanks to Jeremy Kutner for introducing me to this one.
