Hubbub has been working closely with 'Makeable' on the new TracingDirect website.
TracingDirect specialises in tracing missing beneficiaries and tracking down natural birth parents.
The site offers a birth, death or marriage certificate, a fascinating blog, covering subjects of interest to the tracing community, as well video for those of you who like to see us in person.
With gaming on the Internet becoming increasingly popular, pirate adventurer, Captain Cloogo hit the streets of Cardiff to celebrate ‘National Talk like a Pirate Day’. At random he selected a number of individuals and asked them pledge to speak like a pirate for the rest of the day. Happily some agreed to do so.
Jon Frey, owner of Cloogo, the Internet treasure hunt where you click on a link to win a prize, said: “I guess it could be very difficult to go back to the office speaking like a pirate all day. Saying that, it would definitely be interesting to be a fly on the wall where this does happen.”
Speaking in character, Matt said: “I’d be teachin' they land lubbers how t' talk like a buccaneer. Arrr, and they’ve done they's self proud. What's more I’d be tellin' them about Cloogo, t’ brand new website on t' internet. I’m told ye can win booty, send gifts t' yer hearties, share pictures and join gangs. I dunno wha' most o' that means, but shiver me timbers it seems astonishing”.
Jon Frey is pleased by the public’s reaction to Captain Cloogo and is hopeful that the public will get behind the website when it launches. He said. “Cloogo will certainly be an antidote to the credit crunch. As a free Internet treasure hunt we hope it will attract lots of users. Our ambition is to put Cardiff and South East Wales on the map as a major hotbed of games development.”

Hubbub has produced a second video for TracingDirect.
Taking the decision to find birth parents is not one most people take lightly and can be a very emotional experience. This video illustrates the ups and downs of such a process.
