econsultancy Innovation Report spotlights examples of digital excellence

Econsultancy’s Innovation Report is a cracking document packed with more than 60 case study examples of innovation from almost every corner of the web.

The report celebrates every aspect of the digital supply chain from affiliate marketing to web analytics. The report should be required reading for anyone working in the digital sector.

Here are some examples that I particularly liked.

  • eBags: a planning project by Silverpop to send out emails personally timed to generate best return. Conversation rates up 65 per cent
  • Idée image search: search for Creative Commons images posted on Flickr by colour palate
  • Innocent AGM promoted via Twitter: an excellent case study for the commercial use of Twitter as a communication channel
  • Kiva: microfinance venture capitalist matching finance in $25 chunks to entrepreneurs in the developing world
  • Nearest tube application: can I have an iPhone 3GS for Christmas please so that I can tinker with this augmented reality tube finder application from acrossair?
  • The Rubicon Project: an ad network that optimises web inventory for publishers and claims revenue improvements of 30 to 300 per cent

I Love: Microsoft ICE


Here’s another photo stitch created using a free app called Microsoft ICE. The panarama is made-up of five shots taken from the London Eye using an iPhone.

I Love: Sky+ iPhone app

The web interface Sky+ is neat. If you register for a Remote Record account you can schedule programmes to be recorded via the Sky web site.

But now the iPhone extends this to your mobile phone with a free download. You can scan or text search the upcoming seven-day schedule and when you spot something you like hit record and its will be captured on your Sky+ box.

It could almost be magic.
