Very random thoughts on a variety of interactive media topics. Broadly looking at experience design, brand, digital consumer strategies, innovation and a fair dollop of user-facing technology.
It's about time we published the current Top 25 played and requested songs on the Conchango, London MP3 jukebox.
The thing runs on the excellent 'TUNEZ' which is opensource, and set up and maintained by our own Manik.
We all bring in our (legally owned and licensed) music and then get a web interface whereon we can vote for tunes. The more votes, the sooner it gets played. _Almost_ a democracy...
Here's the current Top 25.

About Paul.Dawson
I started working in 'new media' when it was new... around 1996, doing websites for people like DHL and Cellnet (remember them?) as well as CD-Roms for people like Dorling Kindersley.
I joined Conchango in 1999 because I was fed up with the conflicts and overlaps between the companies that we tended to partner with to deliver these things. Usually it was a tech company and a marketing agency. Neither had the user's needs in mind, and both were trying hard to take business away from each other. So at Conchango I saw the opportunity to create an integrated team, who as a result of all being on the same side, and following good user centred design process, delivered better stuff for both our clients and their customers. Bizarrely, now that we have teams who truly understand all these aspects of projects, we now partner very well with both tech and creative companies!
So we built an interactive media team who do design, branding and user experience, and since 2006 have consistently been rated best in Europe at this by Forrester Research. Which was nice!
Since then I've worked on digital strategy and innovation for companies like Virgin Atlantic, Barclays, Tesco and other great Conchango clients.
Now I spend a lot of time evangelising to customers and at conferences, about what Conchango do in the field of Customer and Brand Experience, as well as still working for real clients on real projects.
The final thing I do is look out for what new user-facing technologies will be relevant to us, our customers and consumesrs. I help shape how we adopt them, and how we apply them, and how we build the skills we need to be the best at them. Most recently this has meant things like Microsoft's Silverlight and Surface technologies.
