    Introducing: Platlas

    Platlas

    Platlas.com: A love letter to our favorite social networks. Earlier this summer, we took on the somewhat daunting task of exhaustively mapping out the ecosystem of Facebook. Even though Carrot is a Preferred Development Consultant and we consider ourselves severely versed in the Platform, we still learned A LOT by delving into Facebook so expansively. However, our ultimate goal was to narrow down a story within this vast array of features, into something compelling and widely relevant to us: our clients and our industry. Platform education is… Continue Reading

    Fluffy Animals + Love = Dream Job

    Jeff joins Carrot as a Development Intern turned newest Developer. Wish him luck with a sweet tweet: @jescalan I never would have thought that I would owe getting my dream job to a guinea pig. Just a few months ago, I was a senior at Hamilton College, trying to balance a full course load with my senior thesis (evaluating interfaces using electroencephalography), an on-campus job, and the search for a real job. I stumbled across Carrot Creative while browsing Forrst, a community for… Continue Reading

    carrot.is/live!

    We’ve  just launched our latest Carrot Labs creation: carrot.is. What started out as a social aggregation project turned into a multi-plaform directory of your favorite agency geeks. If you’ve run into any of us in real life, you’ll know that our brightly-colored biz cards come printed with a custom QR code. These codes activate each staff member’s carrot.is mobile site: an extended business card where you can view a quick bio, utilize touch-activated contact info, and continue onto social profiles….

    Honoring our Teachers: Classroom Superheroes

    Everyone has a favorite superhero they relate to. Some idolize the agility of Spiderman, while others prefer the quiet wisdom of Yoda. Yet the ones that we can relate to the most are the ones that are usually the most overlooked: the ones in our schools and classrooms. Teachers have a lot of impact on how each of us view the world. They are, in fact, some of the most respected and trusted individuals in our community. However, with increasing… Continue Reading

    Facebook Events + Personalized Voicemails + Budweiser = Our Latest App

    “Alright, guys, listen up. Now, Adam… pay attention!” I cannot begin to tell you how many times I’ve heard that statement over the past 3 months, but I can tell you why. Anomaly approached Carrot Creative in October of 2010 to collaborate with them and one of their flagship clients, Budweiser. Mike Germano’s eyes lit up at the opportunity. He yelled “Mmmmerica!” and soon banned any other beer than Budweiser to be allowed in the Carrot fridge. Carrot designed and developed… Continue Reading

    iOS4-with-iPhone-4

    With the introduction of the new iOS 4 (and the shiny iPhone 4’s), Carrot certainly hasn’t been lacking in ideas for new apps. Likewise we’ve been getting plenty of requests and ideas coming our way from clients. Everyone wants their apps to be iOS4 ready, but not many know what that actually means. The most hype we’re seeing is dealing with iAds and multitasking, so let’s take a quick look at this new hotness. Firstly, iAds. There are two sides… Continue Reading

    Down & Dirty: A Social Media Agency's Take on Facebook Platform Changes

    What will the current and upcoming changes to the Facebook platform mean for clients and their existing Fanpages?  As Director of Technology (and Director of  the “keeping it real committee”), I wanted to give everyone a heads up on the changes, but keep my ‘geek-speak’ to a low.  ‘Keep It Simple Stupid’, that’s my motto. Application Interaction There will be no more application-to-user notifications. Meaning the small notification box in the bottom right of the bar on Facebook will no… Continue Reading

    “The Most Exciting Advance in Mobile Applications We’ve Seen This Century”

    Chris Petescia contributed to this report After decades of research, countless Erlenmeyer flasks, and several weeks of hapless finger-painting, we’re finally able to announce the launch of The Onion Microfiche. The first-ever iPhone app that delivers a world of Onion headlines directly to your Oxford shirt pocket. Onion aficionados know the true essence of any story lies in its headline. In fact, many headlines are so brilliant they stand alone without any article associated with them. We worked closely with… Continue Reading
