Well, if you are as inquisitive as us you are in luck! Google 360 Tour is a new way to explore a business which can take you on a virtual tour of a business premises.

This fairly new feature for Google Maps will help good businesses showcase their interior and gaining added exposure helping them in the process to stand out from businesses who don’t have anything to shout about or are just plain grubby!

This function has been needed for some time and can only be good news as it makes it easier to communicate with others. Also, the most active conversations will now feature at the top of the post.

A Look Through Google Glass

Google Glass is perhaps the most talked about tech innovation currently, followed closely by Apple’s iOS watch. To help keep up our interest Google have just released this preview video which illustrates how easy to use the device is. Here is the official video description from Google:

“Want to see how Glass actually feels? It’s surprisingly simple. Say “take a picture” to take a picture. Record what you see, hands free. Even share what you see, live.”

The simplicity of use and many ways it can be brought into your everyday life is quite breathtaking or harrowing if you harbour fears of a dystopian future. Watching Channel 4 drama ‘Black Mirror’ which taps into public unease about the modern world didn’t help us much on that count here at Fourteen Ten!

The Cavendish London #ValentineVine Competition

Fourteen Ten recently launched The Cavendish London #ValentineVine Competition, enabling our client to be the first hotel in the UK to launch a competition using new social app Vine.

Vine is a micro-video sharing service which invites users to create a six second video animation through stop-start control simply by pressing the screen and releasing. Vine is owned by Twitter and at the time of writing only available on the iPhone iOS platform, however with plans to roll out to all other smartphone platforms.

Entrants were asked to enter our competition by submitting a romantic vine to the Cavendish London Twitter profile.

The competition was very well received by the media with influential publishers such as Mashable, The Drum and Big Hospitality covering the competition.

YesKing Overproof

Fourteen Ten would like to share YesKing Overproof the brand new single and music video from YesKing.

Fourteen Ten have worked with YesKing producer Rhys Adams in the past and we are pleased to see YesKing signed to the excellent BBE Records.

The new YesKing album “Re-Record Not Fade Away…” is due to be released on March 11th 2013 and can be pre-ordered via iTunes.

Facebook Introducing New Privacy Controls

Facebook announced today that they are going to introduce a new set of privacy controls towards the end of 2012.

We assume this is to address growing concerns over the lack of ease behind controlling your Facebook privacy. However according to Mashable in their article today while doing this Facebook are removing the option for users to hide from public search.

We Have Won The American Express Most Innovative Promotion Award!

Delfina London’s Restaurant Manager Shaun and General Manager Alli.

The award was announced and presented at the 2012 London Restaurant Festival annual awards ceremony held at Vinopolis.

The awards evening marked the end of the festival fortnight that puts a global spotlight on the London restaurant scene. Over 800 restaurants served a ‘Festival Menu’ to 50,000 people and unique events included localised tours of foodie pockets such as Graze that took place on Delfina’s home of Bermondsey Street.

As specialists in Social Media and online development for the the hospitality industry, taking first place out of 800 competitors is a huge achievement. We successfully worked with a clear strategy and consistently in the weeks before, during and post the festival to promote and amplify Delfina’s involvement throughout the two weeks of core activity.

The award is as equally rewarding for Delfina whose presence on Bermondsey Street, amongst it’s high profile neighbours, has been raised and the restaurant now sits amongst a list of the most celebrated restaurants in the Capital today such as Dabbous, Sushi Tetsu and Pitt Cue Co as well as global culinary celebrity Jamie Oliver.

On the evening Fay Maschler told us: “London is continuing to rival Paris, New York and Sydney in terms of innovative ground-breaking food and this year’s London Restaurant Festival has really brought this to life. As we can see at tonight’s awards this city is buzzing with world leading chefs and stunning cuisine – with so much to offer we are already looking forward to LRF 2013.”

We too are looking forward to next year’s event and it is always an honour for Fourteen Ten to contribute to such a thriving restaurant scene in London today.

Thank you for an amazing evening Fay and a thoroughly exciting and challenging fortnight.
