Blogger no Beta?

March 24th, 2007 Jobe Roberts 1 comment
Blogger Beta

I find it funny how Blogger has crossed out beta but not committed itself to another Greek letter. I suppose, Omega would be too limiting. Who'd want to declare the app final? There will always be ways in which the app will grow and change over time and that is a very good thing. Web apps ...

Firefox download button

I suppose this question is much like asking why can't we have a single format for the next release of HD DVD? Well, it still frustrates me that I need to be launching my back up browser Firefox to utilise a new site like Zazzle.com I really wish I could find AJAX drag and drop actually ...

Peter Childs wrote about monetizing social net sites a couple days ago - his main point was that site owners can't just rely on AdSense to make a profit - they need to get more creative. InfoWorld gets it - its "printer-friendly format" is sponsored by HP. That got me thinking... I wonder if Disney would ...

Flickr Sweet

Flickr impresses me a great deal with its elegant user experience for navigating and exploring photo content. As pictured below, with the creation of sets and collections visitors to your Flickr site can surf through your content effortlessly.

RealityMarkets predict April release of Mac OS 10.5

RealityMarkets

I've been anxiously awaiting the release of Apple's new Leopard OS for quite some time now so that I can buy a new Mac. I figure the typical $150 price tag for the OS is a decent excuse to simply buy a new machine which will include it for free. If you'd like to wage a ...

Search Wikipedia for "User Experience" and you get a pretty accurate page. The usual "academic" links are included. The rules on external links are clear - they can't be commercial. So there's Don Norman - commercial site for the Neilson-Norman consultancy... Peter Morville TOTALLY commercial "UX" blog... UX Matters blog - a great site run ...
