bin weevils deal

Bin Weevils, the entertainment platform for children aged seven to 12, has signed a deal to offer Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon programming on a new "social video on demand" service.

Bin Weevils: children's VOD service

The deal comes as Bin Weevils announced the appointment of former Project Kangaroo interim chief executive Rod Henwood as a non-executive director of the 20-strong company.

From today members of BinWeevils’ ‘Bin Tycoon’ subscription service will be able to watch over 200 hours of on-demand TV content while communicating with their avatar-based friends on the site. bad credit loans

Content from Turner Broadcasting-owned Cartoon Network includes ‘Ben 10’, ‘Chowder’, and ‘The Secret Saturdays’ and programming from Viacom-owned Nickelodeon such as ‘iCarly’ and ‘SpongeBob Squarepants. unsecured loans

Henwood said: "This is going to be the first fusion between social gaming and a video-on-demand proposition. Bin Weevils is a virtual world for children, they can adopt a digital identity and now they can choose a programme to watch.

"While they are watching programmes they share a social interface with other children and can chat and make comments and see which other avatars are present."

Since the sale of the Project Kangaroo assets to the transmission company Arqiva in July 2009, Henwood has run is own digital investment and advisory consultancy, My Luseo, and worked with a number clients in the digital space.

Henwood was chief executive of Project Kangaroo following Ashley Highfield’s move to Microsoft in November 2008. He joined Kangaroo from Channel 4 where he was instrumental in the launch of 4oD.

Prior to joining Channel 4 as new business director in May 2005, Henwood was chief executive of sports specialist Premium TV, the digital rights and broadband company.

Additional programming on Bin Weevils will be provided from distributors such as Target Entertainment, Decode, Millimages and Cake Entertainment with further partners to be announced in due course.

Henwood said content providers will be rewarded based on how many times their programming is viewed.

An in-house team currently sells display advertising on the site, which is similar to the online game Moshi Monsters, and though the video player will not carry pre-roll ads at launch, the option will be explored at a later date.

Bin Weevils currently costs either £4.95 for one month’s membership, or £34.95 for a year’s membership. Henwood said there were no plans to increase the platform’s costs.

The company does not publicise its subscription numbers or make any public targets but Henwood said the website has in the region of half a million unique users every month.

Mango on Apple

A really cool HTML5 version of the new Windows 7.5 Mango operating system unsecured loans is available to try on Android Apple smartphones by simply visiting a website that will then offer the experience to the user.

Simply visit: http://aka.ms/wpdemo and you will be presented with a screen and an option to run the HTML5 based mock up of the new Windows 7.5 O/S, turning your device into a “Metro” styled Windows 7.5 mobile device.

Windows 7.5 Mango Trial

I have tried it out on a Samsung S2 and can confirm that it does not run as well as using the same real operating system on a Nokia Lumia 800, though this is to be expected as it is a test version and has vastly different technology behind it, none of which is optimised to make this an exact clone.

On the test version you are able to access most areas such as the following “hubs”:

Phone, Messaging, People, Outlook, Calendar, Family etc etc.

Navigate with help from a blue dot:

For new users who want to learn how the O/S works, a small blue dot will aid your navigation, though I must admit the general usability of the operating system is a pleasure to use and is very intuitive anyway. bad credit loans

After you have gone through the “tour” you will be rather cleverly redirected to an option to continue using the service or shop for phones.

I have to say that this whole “test an operating system” is fantastic, and a great marketing ploy to help people understand the new version of the Windows 7.5 Mango mobile operating system from Microsoft.

With the new Windows 8 operating system due for release pretty soon, we wonder if this transition period will prove tough.
