New Oddmobb.com
 
I'm not sure if anybody else has noticed yet, but Oddmobb.com has been updated, and now gives a little info on the company and it's employees! It doesn't look like we'll be getting any substantial announcements until sometime in 2011 though.

What do you think so far?

Nath 12-02-2010 02:40 PM

Yeah, I just noticed that too. Still a bit mysterious, but that social networking thing that had been rumored so much looks to be a definite.

Nice find. Nothing there we didn't already know but it's great to know they're doing something. I wonder how often their newsletters go out.

Oh and their symbol annoyingly reminds me of the MasterChef symbol.

Nice to see the link you get in their subscription confirmation email is broken.

I'm trying to share the site on Facebook, but all the images have been made background reasons for reasons I can't fathom, so I can't include a thumbnail. Which makes it look boring.

Apart from that, good job OddMobb team!

EDIT: Huh, apparently the new logo's called "Oddbug". Interesting I guess?

Wil 12-02-2010 03:39 PM

That doesn't allow you to add it as a thumbnail when sharing a link on Facebook.

Manco 12-02-2010 03:43 PM

I've got no idea how Facebook works, I just assumed you needed an image file to upload or something.

How do Facebook thumbnails work, then?

Wil 12-02-2010 03:47 PM

When sharing a link, Facebook takes a look at that address and lets you use as a thumbnail any images it can find. It ignores background images, and it doesn't let you specify a custom image.

Sober, yet good looking site. Glad to see things are moving on the OddMobb front too.

Hmm, all very myesterious

Taco 12-04-2010 02:39 AM

Oh good it's finally up. Their logo certainly looks.. interesting. The characters look... asian somehow. And the symbol kinda looks like a helmet. Let's speculate wildly about this

STM 12-04-2010 03:04 AM

...Let's actually not

Manco 12-04-2010 04:13 AM

Helmets? Asian-looking type?

Calling it now, Oddmobb is taking over Takeshi's Castle.

Wil 12-04-2010 04:23 AM

The legs of the Oddbug—the 'spikes' of the 'helmet'—to me look like nodes on a graph, joined by a stylized network that forms the letters O and M.

The lilac colour is there because lilac incited people to spend time on social networking sites. It's proven.

Yeah. This for me too.

Xavier 12-04-2010 06:07 AM

Me too...

OddMobb site doesn't teach us anything... and speculation over a logo seems a bit pointless.
