Regular readers of our blog will know that not only are we huge fans of infographics, but we regularly design them for other SEO companies, high profile blogs, large corporations, etc. A few weeks ago we designed the ‘What Are Websites Made Of’ infographic for the fantastic Six Revisions website, which saw a huge amount [...]

Wikileaks Gets Nominated For The Nobel Peace Prize
Yes, you did read that correctly – as of yesterday, according to VOA News, Wikileaks was nominated for the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize. The nomination came via Norwegian lawmaker Snorre Valen, who claimed the website was a ‘natural contender’ for the prize; offering one of the most crucial contributions to freedom of speech this century. [...]
Make Your Own Promotional QR Code
There has been an incredible pace of technological development over the past few years. This is true of many markets, but can be seen especially within the mobile market. This in turn has meant that some ideas weren’t fully exploited, because in the time taken to develop the products or parts of it, the market [...]
Star Wars Augmented Reality
We’re all pretty big fans of Star Wars at Designbysoap; pretty much a prerequisite for a bunch of nerds like us. Imagine our excitement then to discover the video below, of an upcoming iPhone game called ‘Star Wars Arcade: Falcon Gunner’, which uses the iPhone camera to allow you to play the game with any [...]
How Google Works
I came across another excellent infographic author recently, freelance designer Jess Bachman. Jess creates complex and often HUGE infographics designed as wall charts, and has recurring annual projects such as mapping the American budget (called ‘Death and Taxes’!), and has even dabbled in video visualisations. Her latest project sees her focus turned towards Google. To [...]
Microsoft and Facebook Collaboration Secure

Over that past year or so we have seen Google consistently loose search volume to competitors (all be it small amounts), and despite the astronomical success of Android, it seems like a slight backlash against ‘everything Google’ is developing especially in [...]
Mozilla Search Box Deal
Google’s main search rival, Microsoft’s Bing, will soon be given another potential chance to gain on Google. Just as with AOL recently, Mozilla’s deal with Google over the search box in the top right hand corner of their browser is to expire next year. This leaves Mozilla in a very strong bargaining position currently, as [...]
Mobile Apps Caught Stealing Data
It seems that while many people have been enjoying the benefits of mobile wireless internet, blithely surfing and downloading apps, there are some apps (both on the iPhone and Android) that have been collecting personal data without your knowledge. The problem was highlighted by Lookout Inc, a mobile phone security firm, and presented at the [...]
Google Street View Data Debacle
As you may know, a total of 38 American states (as of 23/07/10), as well as several European countries, aren’t particularly happy with Google at the moment. This is because whilst they were undertaking the noble task of photographing the streets of the world for ‘Street View’, they were also capturing lots of personal data. [...]
Could Google’s App Inventor Ruin Andoid?
With the relatively slow uptake of Android (compared to initial sales of the iPhone and apps), Google has decided to release an ‘App Inventor’ for their new mobile OS. It comes in the form of a visual ‘drag and drop’ web interface rather than a large, complicated source developers kit, and requires no programming at [...]
