Charles has spent the past few years as the big cheese at thrudigital. On any normal day you will catch him with a milky cup of tea (no bubbles on top thank you very much) and at least 30 browser tabs open.

Seeing as the country ground to a halt earlier this week, those of us that managed to make our way into the office had quite a quiet day… that is other than phonecalls from friends tempting us to go and build snowmen or go to the pub!

To put our time (and the snow) to good use we decided to do a little bit of sno’vertising using twitter and a twitter/google maps mashup @benmarsh created.

The picture is taken of the roof of the carpark next to our office.

Once we were back in the office and our feet had thawed we posted the picture to twitpic and posted a tweet containing the hastag #uksnow, the first part of our postcode and a fraction of 10 indicating how heavy the snow was falling.

The tweet was then displayed alongside the uksnow map as you can see below.

A snowy Monday afternoon well spent we think.
