<p>Nigel is the chief minimiser in the Weetabix Minis Min Factory.</p>
<p>He suffers a minimising accident as he is creating the Weetabix minis.</p>
<p>The ad ends with a call to action to <a title="Find Nigel" href="http://www.findnigel.com/" target="_blank">Find Nigel.</a></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-487" title="Find Nigel" src="http://www.rothco.ie/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/find-nigel.png" alt="Find Nigel" width="450" height="229" /></p>
<p><a title="Find Nigel" href="http://www.findnigel.com/" target="_blank">www.findnigel.com</a> is a colourful quirky look inside the Weetabix Minis Factory as you travel around trying to <a title="Find Nigel" href="http://www.findnigel.com/" target="_blank">Find Nigel</a>.</p>
<p>The site integrates some really nice video and game play to make a really enjoyable and engaging online world.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-488" title="Find Nigel" src="http://www.rothco.ie/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/find-nigel-game.png" alt="Find Nigel" width="450" height="229" /></p>
<p>The game play within the site is short and sweet with some really fun little mini games, excuse the pun.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-489" title="Find Nigel" src="http://www.rothco.ie/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/find-nigel-game2.png" alt="Find Nigel" width="450" height="229" /></p>
<p>The games take you through the factory in as you blast chocolate squares into the minis and back massage your way to Finding Nigel.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-490" title="Find Nigel" src="http://www.rothco.ie/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/find-nigel-game3.png" alt="Find Nigel" width="450" height="229" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-491" title="Find Nigel" src="http://www.rothco.ie/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/find-nigel-game4.png" alt="Find Nigel" width="450" height="229" /></p>
<p>In the end you Find Nigel hidden in the Canteen and return him to his normal size.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-492" title="Find Nigel" src="http://www.rothco.ie/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/find-nigel-found.png" alt="Find Nigel" width="450" height="229" /></p>
<p>The game play element is continued as you submit your initials and time to the leaderboard.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-493" title="Find Nigel" src="http://www.rothco.ie/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/find-nigel-scoreboard.png" alt="Find Nigel" width="450" height="229" /></p>
<p>Unfortunately my score got a rousing &#8220;Your time puts you in position 23628 &#8211; sadly not enough for the Minis Hall of Fame. Why not try and better it?&#8221;</p>
<p>That said the 23K people who have submitted scores and spent approximately 3-5 minutes on the site, is a reflection of the early success of the campaign.</p>
<p>&#8220;After all if it&#8217;s not small and chocolaty its not a Weetabix Chocolate Mini&#8221;</p>
<p><a title="Find Nigel" href="http://www.findnigel.com" target="_blank">Find Nigel</a> was created by UK Digital Agency <a title="Skive UK" href="http://skive.co.uk" target="_blank">Skive. </a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the key news stories emerging from the <a title="Adobe Max Flash on the iPhone" href="http://max.adobe.com/" target="_blank">Adobe Max</a> Conference 2009 is the new capability to develop iPhone applications via the new upcoming Flash CS5.</p>
<p>To date iPhone App development has been restricted to Apple&#8217;s own development tools, alienating arguably the largest developer group; the Flash community.</p>
<p>In a nut shell this will see both development times and the cost of iPhone Apps falling as the development community expands and the authoring process of Apps becomes less restrictive.</p>
<p>Flash&#8217;s animation capabilities and also the recent introduction of technologies such as Augmented Reality are sure to be featured in up and coming iPhone Apps.</p>
<p>A limited number of Flash authored Apps, created from a private beta of CS5,  have been created and are live on the App store.</p>
<p>Check out Adobe&#8217;s introduction of the new CS5 capabilities on their <a title="Flash Apps on the iPhone" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rebv7iXKufw" target="_blank">YouTube Channel</a>.</p>
<p>For any Flash developers out there who want to access to CS5  <a title="Signup for Early Notification of CS5" href="https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=fpcs5_notify" target="_blank">Sign-up</a> is now available although it is unlikely that CS5 will be out for beta release until 2010.</p>
<p>Find out more about the new <a title="Flash CS5" href="http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashcs5/" target="_blank">Adobe Flash Professional CS5</a> or <a title="CS5 for iPhone" href="http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashcs5/appsfor_iphone/">Adobe Labs: Applications for iPhone</a> on the Adobe site.</p>
