Really proud of Team Acknowledgement!
Forgot to post that the OpenSoho3 video is up here:

After 3 years of development, Monster launched their new site mid Jan. Read about it here.
A week later, all the media is full of news about a security breech.
Coincidence?
The two stories appear a week apart. About a site that has had it’s re-launch in the making for three years. A site that has spent an estimated £90m on the revamp. A site which is one of the market leaders in the multi billion dollar global recruitment market.
And now they are across TV, print and digital media for all the wrong reasons.
Coincidence?
I think not. I am betting this was a “hack to order” and the news has been seeded like fuck by a PR firm doing some very clever under the radar work for one of Monster’s rivals.
Do you know who the PR firm is? Or the rival that planted this little bomb?
Or are these the ramblings of a paranoid android?
On Thursday various members of Acknowledgement and Boring went down to OpenSoho in Floridita in Soho. It’s an informal networking event for people working in the tech and media industries in London.
It’s been a while since I’ve been to a networking event ( DigitalPodge is my only usual exception!) but I really enjoyed it. It reminded me a little bit of the “Clerkenwell Tuesdays” that used to happen around the 2000 dot com boom.
With a leaning towards a sociable drink with fellow members of your profession rather than hardcore business networking OpenSoho reunited me with some friends and contacts I hadn’t seen for a while and also introduced me to some new ones! It’s made me resolve to get out from behind my desk a lot more in 2009.
Boring sponsored this event and also did some filming there, so stay tuned to see the results!

I was pleased to learn on Friday that the MORE TH>N “Quote and Buy” forms that Acknowledgement designed and built (via HyperHappen) were rated the best in market by Insurance Times!
It’s a great boost for the team to see best practice design and usablility being recognised as such!
