Graduating student Steven Brown's Re:Create project - a dedicated social media portal for creatives, mentors and industry specialists - is due to launch soon. Steven devised the idea during his HNC year, and continued to developed it into its current form as his final project, for which he received an A+ grade.

Twestival Logo Winner
2 March 2011
Thursday 24 March is Twestival Day, and one of our HND students, Gill McColl, has won a competition on Twitter to design the logo for Edinburgh's Twestival event.
Twestival is the largest global grassroots social media fundraising initiative to date.
Over 200 international cities from Buenos Aires to Bangalore, Seattle to Seoul and Hong Kong to Honolulu have participated in Twestival.
The event uses social media to connect communities on a single day, and this year Edinburgh Twestival is raising money for St Columba’s Hospice, with 100% of tickets sales & donations going straight to the charity’s rebuild project.

Year 2 HND Student Emma Hart has set up a facebook group for HND 1 and HND 2. She'll take on the responsibility of updating, monitoring and promoting the page, and of course everyone is free to write on the wall, upload photos and share information. This will hopefully turn into a great resource for both groups during their study and beyond.

It hasn't taken long for the first really interesting buzzword to emerge from the world of iPad.
I've just been checking out an iPad app called 'Flipboard', which allows you to compile your own customised magazine by grabbing content from social networks and selected newsfeeds.
The brainchild of former Apple iPhone engineer Evan Doll and entrepreneur Mike McCue, Flipboard takes normal RSS feeds and configures them as a newspaper layout, showing headlines, runners and ultimately the full story. Additionally, Flipboard displays Tweets about each article and allows you to add your own comments. You can also import Twitter lists.
As the term infers, navigation between sections of content is done by 'flipping', just like browsing through a magazine.
Flipboard has a set of nine pre-built curated “boards” which serve as your magazine sections. These are basically templates, but they can be customised.
By all accounts it's addictive and makes brilliant use of both Twitter and Facebook - a surefire way to ensure its popular takeup. Flipboard is free to download on the Flipboard website.
