People swear there’s more going on at Electric Pulp than our blog would have you believe. They’re largely correct. Here are some examples:

Mediascapes 2.0
Earlier this year we started work with Hewlett-Packard to re-introduce mediascapes, an immersive media experience for mobile devices. The project is incredible, and we were excited to be involved in the web facet.

Virgin
Last year, we hooked up with Undercurrent to collaborate on a few projects for Virgin. The first of these to launch is Virgin Music, a video blog and music news aggregation site.

Virgin’s a big company, and navigating their site can be difficult. Our next gig, Virgin Explore, aims to make it less so.

Alltop
Guy Kawasaki has a new venture, and we’re happy to report it involves Electric Pulp. Alltop is a network of topics displaying recent headlines and excerpts from the most popular authors / publishers in each vertical. While [perhaps] not for the most RSS/Atom/feed savvy among you, Alltop is on a tear both in terms of traffic and PR. Last week, we read about it in The Wall Street Journal.

Sidenote: Guy’s earlier venture, Truemors, was recently sold to NowPublic.

Cazt
If you’re a casting director, your life just got easier. Cazt lets you manage projects including actor auditions and stakeholder notes. If you’re an actor, you can actually watch your auditions, read direct feedback and more. I don’t want to play favorites, but this is an awesome example of a web application. Pulp is pretty proud of our part.

Elsewhere
By no means is this the full list of what we’ve been up to. We’ve re-released ecommerce sites, recruiting sites, and quite a few more.

In other words, we’re busy. But don’t worry, none of this prevents Max and George from discussing favorite yogurt flavors. Stay tuned.

It’s been a busy 12 months. In many ways, our business has been redefined. Our team has grown and evolved, our style and portfolio have matured, and we’ve refocused on the web - spending more time creating applications, channels and communities. But, if you judged us only by our blog, you might think the opposite.

Truth told, we’re having a hard time keeping the Pulp blog connected to what we have going on. But that doesn’t mean we’ve stopped chattering about it. We’ve just moved it around a bit.

Most of us are sharing on flickr, dopplr, upcoming, del.icio.us, vimeo, and others. But more than anything else, we’ve been hitting twitter.

Most of you are probably familiar enough with twitter to have a strong opinion on the service. And, if you’re really familiar with the service, you’ve probably had at least two strongly distinct opinions. We’re in the latter category.

So, while we can’t promise that all of our tweets are about our company, our work, or our clients, we can tell you it’s the best way to stay connected to what we’re up to. So with that, and a quick disclaimer regarding our deregulated (read: brutally casual) demeanor, we wanted to let you know how to find us.

I know, that isn’t all of us. Mitch has been masquerading as the voice of ElectricPulp and Michael Hall is passionately apathetic regarding the whole [twitter] thing. Nic quit it, and Tanya, well, she doesn’t have a twitter story yet.

In any event, we’d love to connect. Add us as friends and @ us to let us know. We’re looking forward to hearing what you’re up to.

tom.jpgSaturday, we all depart to watch first-hand, the man who has graced our hold music for the past 4 years. Whoever says a company party at a Tom Jones concert in a Minnesota casino doesn’t sound like fun, is kidding themselves.

Stay tuned for the flickr streams… we will be rocking out our best leather pants and chest hairs. Or maybe we’ll leave that up to Tom.

It’s been a little over a week since we launched makemeamerica.com for Stephen Colbert, and by way of an update, here are a few points of interest:

  • You can now see Stephen’s delightful visage on several top CSS Galleries. We thank you for that, CSS Galleries. America thanks you.
  • There have been over 4300 Oprah book club petition signatures.
  • As of this morning, the World Domination map is open for business outside the confines of the United States border. Time to conquer the world!

Speaking of international support, check out Canada — they sure are organized up there:

If the Internet feels slower today, it may be due in part to a new site we just launched called MakeMeAmerica.com.

What started out as a humble effort to sell a few books has turned into something more: a humble effort with big pictures, hero profiles, video excerpts, a petition to Oprah, flickr photo integration, and an interactive world domination map. (And lots of easter eggs.)

The book, I Am America (And So Can You), is written by Stephen Colbert, host of The Colbert Report on Comedy Central and namesake of a baby bald eagle in Bonita Springs.

The Colbert team quickly determined that, in addition to being able to read books, the show’s audience also seemed to have ready access to the internets. One idea turned into two, and pretty soon, Electric Pulp was in on the plan. The rest, as they say, is history.

All that’s left is for you to check it out.

(These guys have.)

For some reason, this sculpture by Em did not draw any accurate guesses:

p.s. We are working. To the productive sounds of Donna Summer’s ‘Hot Stuff’.
