Walrus Media is involved in all areas of internet creative design. The media and programming professionals at Walrus Media have created several commercially successful web sites.

Our Commercial Projects



In late 2002, we launched Beatles News. The site was originally called What Goes On, named after the song on the Beatles' Rubber Soul album, and became Beatles News on December 1, 2008.

Beatles News is a dynamic compendium of news about the Beatles and rock 'n roll music, collected from sources all over the internet. Our editorial staff searches for the latest articles and updates the site five days a week.

Beatles News continues to be our most popular and successful web project to date, and is consistently the #1 listing when you search for "Beatles News" in Google.



Wizard News went live on January 1, 2003. Like our Beatles news web site, Wizard News is an indexed collection of the latest news about Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings from our own staff of reporters, and from various sources all over the internet.



Our newest project, Beatles Collecting, went online on January 1, 2008. It features free For Sale and Wanted Classified Ads and Forums for the Beatles collecting community. The software that powers Beatles Collecting (and all our sites) was written completely from scratch to better suit the needs of our users.


Other Sites We've Created

At Walrus Media we're all big Beatles fans. The Internet Beatles Album, created by Dave Haber, has been around in one form or another since 1995.



The traffic to the Internet Beatles Album became so large that in 2001 we split the site into two sites, moving the recording-related info to a new site called Beatle Tracks. In early 2002, we created another site, this one about one of the earliest Beatles records in the US, She Loves You. In early 2007, all of our Beatles sites were once again reunited back into the Internet Beatles Album.

Being Beatles fans, we couldn't help but be Rutles fans as well. All You Need Is Cash was a 1978 TV parody of documentaries which affectionately spoofed the Beatles story. It included a wonderful performance of the John Lennon character by Monty Python alumnus Neil Innes, who also created all of the Beatle-like music for the film. The ficticious Rutles are presented on our Tragical History Tour site as if the group actually existed.

We're also big fans of the Harry Potter books, and we've created several web sites which carry on with the concept we started with the Rutles web site, creating web sites which present the fictional characters and stories as if they are real. Our original Harry Potter web site, created in 2002, was Wizarding Wireless Net, and was presented as if it is the online version of the Wizarding Wireless, the radio that witches and wizards listen to in the books.

In 2006 we combined the various content of our Harry Potter micro-sites into a new online Harry Potter fan conference called Beyond Hogwarts.
