Spoiltchild has been busy working with RTE over the last few months to develop a new platform to showcase documentaries online. We are very pleased to announce the launch of the new Doc on One website showcasing over 200 documentaries from the RTE archives. You can download, search by category, review and listen to documentary podcasts. Users can even send suggestions for future documentaries to the RTE team. If like me, you are interested in a wide variety of subjects; events, history and culture, log on and enjoy 40 minutes of pure listening pleasure. Documentary lovers bookmark this site now! http://www.rte.ie/radio1/doconone/index.html

You can follow Doc on One updates on Twitter and Facebook. Stay tuned as there will be over 400 documentaries added to the site by the end of the month. So plenty of entertainment and education for everyone.

The Doc on One team is passionate about their work and bringing documentaries to larger audiences via the web. Spoiltchild is happy to be part of the team that facilitated such a worthwhile endeavour. We are very proud of the site in helping to create a buzz and promote such a fantastic artform. We wish continued success to the Doc on One team.

Thanks to Damien and all those on Twitter who reviewed Doc on One and gave it the thumbs up.

How time flies, FineTuna is a year old. Odd things often happen around birthdays; I think they call it synchronicity, with a lovely review on Site Point today and a push from the Tuesday Push tomorrow.

We had one goal for FineTuna, to become the TinyURL of design feedback. Simple, fast and disposable after you have your point accross.

Our little app started out as an entry to a competition form Web 2 Ireland. Have a look at our initial presentation here.
http://www.web2ireland.org/2007/10/10/winner-of-the-web2expo-berlin-tickets/

We got such a positive response that we decided to build it and so a concept became a reality. And we never imagined just how many people would love it. The statistics are truly amazing. Over 25,000 images have been uploaded, shared and reviewed with more than 9 gigs uploaded.

It is really interesting to see how the initial concept for the website changed from how we thought it would work, to what we have a year on. The upload functionality with the Firefox extension really helped its usability. We also decreased the number of buttons from 5 to 4 making things simpler all round.

FineTuna unleashed a truck load of reviews and mentions including TechCrunch, CSS Mania, cnet, and many others during the past year. We are very proud of the coverage FineTuna has received and thank everyone for using, promoting and pushing our efforts.

I have been talking to Denise Fay for a while now about organising an Open Coffee in Drogheda. We finally got the ball rolling today and put a shout out for possible venues to hold the first meet up. So far Bru and the D Hotel have been mentioned, both great locations. Suggestions much appreciated and of course all are welcome. I must say I am really excited as there are lots of fantastic, motivated people around these parts who I can’t wait to meet and share ideas with. I will post up date and location as soon as we have all the details together. Looking forward to seeing you in Drogheda soon.

It’s Tuesday Push day and time to catch up on fine initiatives from great Irish companies. RevaHealth is in the spotlight today and for good reason. If you want to find a doctor, a dentist or medical or cosmetic services in your area or abroad, RevaHealth will find and compare them for you in seconds. Easy to navigate, pleasing design, lots of good advice and the ability to review your chosen professional practice, RevaHealth.com hits all the right notes. Since your health is your wealth this website will provide you with a healthy body and a health pocket, not bad for a two second investment of your time. We have been fortunate to work with Caelen and the guys in the past and a more committed bunch you can’t find anywhere. Continued success to one and all.

The crew are moving office today so phones, email and twitter will probably not be answered / returned until tomorrow.
For the next few weeks you can still get us at the same numbers and post will be picked up at the old address.

The new address is:
The Mews,
Bettystown Cross,
Bettystown,
Co Meath,
Ireland

And we will have a new number for you shortly.

See you on the other side.
