In Brazil Soda Fountains Dispense Free Mobile Internet Access [Advertising]

Finding free internet access in the US just means hunting down the nearest Wi-Fi hotspot. But in Brazil those are few and far between. So Coca-Cola's ad agency, Ogilvy & Mather, created these Coke-branded machines that dispense free mobile data instead of sugar water. More »

Hallmark Greets Digital, Acquires SpiritClips To Let You Send Photo/Video E-Cards

Photos and video can be even more personal than a handwritten card. That's why Hallmark has just acquired SpiritClips, an online video production and streaming service that also makes personalized digital e-cards. It looks like Hallmark customers will soon be able to create and send e-cards by uploading their own photos or choosing from video content created by SpiritClips. Hallmark already has its own line of animated video e-cards, but they're not very personalized. As more of our intimate connections happen online, the SpiritClips acquisition will let Hallmark stay relevant rather than living off its dead-tree printing business.

Microsoft trumpets Windows Phone 7 numbers on first birthday

Happy first birthday, Windows Phone 7! One year on, and the fledgling mobile operating system has 36,000 active developers in its AppHub community, 1.5 million downloads of its Developer Tools, and 11,500 apps in its Marketplace.

Microsoft is quick to take a couple shots at competitors' app stores, beating its chest about not re-counting tanslations of an app or "lite" apps, "increasing tonnage" by supporting apps from other mobile platforms, and not listing wallpapers as a category.

That's all fine and dandy, but we spend a lot of time sifting through WP7 app feeds -- and we're still not seeing a lot of awesome apps on the platform. We think a few marquee apps would've made a pretty nice first birthday present -- along with a much smoother update process for WP7 users.

UK's National Media Museum opens permanent 'Life Online' gallery

Planning to be in the neighborhood of Bradford, England anytime soon? Then you may want to set aside some time for a visit to the National Media Museum, which will tomorrow officially open what's being described as the "world's first gallery dedicated to exploring the social, technological and cultural impact of the internet." Dubbed "Life Online" the new gallery will feature one permanent section focused on the history of the internet, and another section that will change each year and feature different "experimental themes" commissioned by artists -- the first being an examination of the open source movement. As the BBC reports, that's the result of some £2 million in funding, as well as contributions from the likes of Vint Cerf, who's featured in some of the videos produced for the exhibit (you can see those at the YouTube link below).
