Creating a mass online movement is far easily said than done. But not for local Leith start-up and recent Scottish Bafta award winners Blipfoto, whose simple photo-a-day blog has captured the hearts and minds of people all over the world. And even more so with a recent mass photo campaign driven by its members.
A single post from a member (inspired by another member Twigs) proposed that for the next few days people post pictures of their arms outstretched, to join into a giant chain of fellow blippers. The response was overwhelming, with over 1000 submissions in a few days, an app to display them, a local event in Edinburgh at InSpace and global streaming across the web.
A simple idea, a bit of creativity, some easy-to-use tech and an inspired community - blipping awesome. And a great example of how customers / clients / members / users / real people are often the greatest sources of innovation inspiration.

Unfortunately the camera woman is his wife, the poor woman gets very little credit, other than a nice spoof. But he couldn’t have done it without her.
