Metrotwin is live

Metrotwin, the British Airways powered online social recommendations resource I have been working on is now live. It's still in Beta, and will be for a while, but you no longer need an invite to get in. As I've mentioned before, Metrotwin brings the best of London and New York together in one place. Some of the key new features are: The Metrotwin Index - an attention-based, dynamically generated score that applies to every place in both cities on the site. When people pay a place attention it goes up, and when no-one’s interested it ticks down. Metrotwin Recommends - a new personalised recommendation panel within the user profile. It works by looking at everything you and everyone else have loved, saved, visited and reviewed - and it tells you the kind of places that people like you are interested in. The ability to add links to external services (Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, IM and Skype) to your personal profile City-wide map views - a nicer way to view. A Site Tour - to help you find your way around. Metrotwin has been delivered by a highly talented multi-agency team. Visit Metrotwin

Congratulations...its twins!

Metrotwin, the British Airways powered social bookmarking resource I have been involved with for 5 months has launched this week into an invitation only Public Beta. We’ve still got 2 weeks until the stabilisers come off and we go fully live, but you can now sign up to the site request an invite and join the community. Metrotwin is a fantastic resource which features the 'best of the best' from London and New York, recommended by the people in the know. We have been working with content partners, bloggers and of course the very talented multi-agency team to get great places recommended, reviewed and twinned. Team MT are more than a little bit proud of what has been achieved in quite a short period of time, and can’t wait to see how Metrotwin grows. Take a look at the blog or visit the site and get yourself an invite. Metrotwin .

Headshift Summer Party

Having been chained to the office for the past few weeks and weekends, last night we had some well needed social time at the Headshift Summer Party. I have been working with Headshift for a couple of months, and in that time they have moved into funky new offices in Shad Thames. Headshift is Europe's leading enterprise social computing consultancy. They are expert in designing, implementing and growing next generation social software solutions. We spent a very pleasant evening on the roof terrace chatting to various 'Headshifters' and Stuart and Tim from Made by Many. And the top bonus was - it didn't rain!
