The Metropolitan Museum of Art on BBC Click

Last month we celebrated the launch of the new Metropolitan Museum of Art website - Cogapp's largest, most complex project and also possibly the largest digital media project yet undertaken by a museum.

We've just spotted these fantastic videos from our friends at Dorling Kindersley of our DK Quick Cook and DK Eyewitness Travel London iPad apps in action:

As part of the first Brighton Digital Festival, Wired Sussex organised a digital open studios week where agencies across the city had the chance to open their studios to the world and give the public a unique opportunity to learn more about what goes on behind the scenes.

In a previous life, Greg Hadfield, Cogapp's director of strategic projects, was the first Fleet Street journalist to leave national newspapers for the internet in the mid-1990s. Now, he is a leading protagonist in the movement to create "open-data cities" as well as a champion of semantic web technologies.

Cogapp has been growing enormously over the last year – we’ve had many great people join us and we’ve been working on some hugely exciting projects. Fantastic as this is, we soon felt like we were outgrowing our lovely top floor studio. Alas, getting everybody in one room for Cake Thursdays was proving quite the struggle! It soon became apparent that we needed to look for a new space that would expand with us and allow us more creative freedom and opportunity for the future.

Last Wednesday I left sunny Brighton and headed up to London for Econsultancy’s Online Copywriting course with Copywriting Consultant Tim Fidgeon. As someone who spends a lot of time writing for Cogapp.com, I was keen to learn how to write more concisely, informatively and ensure my online writing performed effectively.

Tech Tuesdays have always been a mysterious thing. Every other Tuesday a delivery of tasty looking Japanese food arrives in the office and the tech team disappear for an hour or so to discuss all manner of technical trivialities. However, every now and again Tristan likes to mix things up a little by opening the invitation to the rest of the office as part of the Tech Tuesday Outreach Programme. This time round we were enticed into the conference room with the promise of an exciting telekinesis workshop and of course, a serving of Pompoko’s finest.

Dorling Kindersley are producers of Eyewitness Travel, one of the world’s leading travel guide series. DK sought a new interactive outlet for their city guides on the iPad, a device that serves as a remarkable showcase for the guide’s visual appeal.

This Christmas, instead of sending out our usual Christmas card, we decided to do something a little different by taking our Infinite Snowflake application to a new level and hooking it up to Twitter to spread our Season’s Greetings even further.
