They have recently secured a $500k investment from VC firm Point Nine capital. They said they are going to use the money to develop its social learning networks and to try new markets.
Tool - InfiniGraph
InfiniGraph grabs onto your genius content and does something with it.
InfiniGraph is similar to Klout, but for content. PRs and Marketers are drowning in a mass of social data and it would be great to remove the guessing game of determining what’s most relevant. It does not monitor what people are saying about your brand, it tracks the interest of fans. InfiniGraph gives a real-time million-person focus group. It solves trend identification and content discovery problems, ensuring that content marketing campaigns have more emotional impact with consumers and achieve higher degrees of engagement.
Campaign of the week - Hyundai Hyper Matrix
Yes, the walls are moving! Seoul- based media art collective Jonpasang collaborated with Hyundai to create the Hyper – Matrix. It is a huge 180 degrees moving installation. Not your average installation, as this has moving walls, which are made of motorized cubes. They increase the dimensionality by displaying images on the cubes. Check out the amazing video, they are also sharing the making of it.
