The Original 106 Fugitive

The Original 106 Fugitive was let lose on the North East of Scotland yesterday, and after only 2 days, the hunt to find him is taking the area by storm.

Each day there will be differnet bounty periods where the Fugitive will be in different locations. Each bounty period has a clue with it. Find him within the right time and ask the question “Are you the Original 106 Fugitive?” and you could walk away with a wod of cash.  Today each bounty was sitting at £1500.

My involvement with all this?  Well, as well as the Fugitive featuring on my radio shows, I was also given the task of creating the Original 106 Fugitive “minisite”.

One of my proudest pieces of web work to date, certainly considering I was a bit rusty when it came to designing websites.  Also my first attempt at a Web 2.0 esque site.  After we got radio web wizzard Matt Deegan involved,  the site was integrated into WordPress to allow the Fugitive himself to update the site, post photos and comments from wherever he may be hiding in the North East.

What’s also fascinating is watching Twitter to see what people are saying about the Original 106 Fugitive, and watching as they desperately try to locate him and win some money.  The Fugitive himself is posting after hacking the Original 106 Twitter page @originalfm

Will be interesting to see how the site pans out over the next few weeks.
