ClientsCase Studies | Mini Motty
The 14th May 2002 saw the BBC release Mini Motty on its BBC Sport Online website. This desktop application provided football fans with news, messages and live match information, as well as giving users the chance to play keepy-uppy on the desktop with the man himself. Well ahead of it's time, Motty gave users an up to the minute, blow-by-blow match commentry. As Motty was developed with the 2002 Japan / Korea world cup in mind, this was a particularly popular feature, as many football enthusiasts were glued to their desks at work during crucial matches.

Corporate desktop communicatorDuring 2006, Turtlez were commissioned by the foreign exchange department of a large bank to write an internal communications tool. This was to take the form of an animated caricature of the departmental managing director. The purpose of the application was to deliver sales and internal 'teaser' messages in an eyecatching way, and in doing so, alert people to the presence of new articles and news updates within the corporate intranet.

Desktop Richie is a desktop news service produced by Turtlez for Channel 4. It features a caricature of commentator Richie Benaud, whose presence on the user’s desktop relates directly to the news he delivers, which is of course all things cricket. Richie is also fun. He makes wry comments, drinks cups of tea, eats his lunch and generally busies himself when he’s not responding to the score line. [
Perform Group (Premium TV) manages and hosts 50 plus websites for a number of English and Scottish football league clubs. They hit on the idea of a desktop application that supporters could use to get team news, even when they weren't visiting their team's website. After discussions between Turtlez and Perform Group, it was decided that Turtlez would develop a desktop news alert (DNA) client application that would operate in three modes: a tickertape display; a hidden mode with pop-up alerts; and a small window that summarised stories. The DNA would also receive and display video clips. [
