The Curated Internet Returns
We may be at a tipping point for a curated internet again. The internet is too big. There is far too much information, there are far too many social networks and photo-sharing services for anyone to absorb, to digest, or to evaluate. When one considers that there are over a trillion (that’s 1,000,000,000,000) unique URLs on the web, it’s impossible to make an informed decision about where to go,...

Ron Johnson's Vision For JCPenney
Intent on securing a CEO position, Ron Johnson left his post as Apple’s Vice President of Retail after 11 years to take the top spot at J. C. Penney. Those of you familiar with the story behind Apple’s retail stores are likely to be familiar with Johnson, the man Apple lured away from Target nearly a dozen years ago to help design, launch, and run Apple’s retail stores. The success of Apple’s...
Is Instagram A Photo App? Or Is It A Platform?
One thing I find interesting about the Instagram story is how the app has blurred the lines between application and platform. The initial success enjoyed by the Instagram team seems pretty modest from here in 2012 … users take pictures, add a clever filter preset, and share the photo with friends and family members. Instagram did this very well, but there was more to come.
One gap in...
I Am Not an Instagram User
As a Chase Jarvis fan, I was using his Best Camera app when Instagram was released. Initially, I thought Instagram was a bit derivative, actually; there were quite a few photo apps for the iPhone, and I didn’t see anything particularly special about this new entry.
Almost immediately, Instagram became the hot iPhone photo app, and I wondered why. Best Camera was established, had similar...

Revived!
I think it’s time to start using Tumblr again. I’m going to do my very best to minimize posting directly to Facebook over the course of the next year. I’m not planning to abandon Facebook … I’m just making it less of a focus … a lower priority.
For many, myself included, Facebook has been the default, must-use social network for quite a while. I’m planning to...

Common Sense … We Are The Robots
Common sense makes good sense most of the time; it keeps our fingers out of the fire, right? So often common sense prevents us from harming ourselves or others. Common sense is most valuable, until it becomes nonsense. Interviewed for the September 2010 issue of Wired, author Simon Singh says …
“Science has nothing to do with common sense … Inject somebody with some viruses and that’s going to...

Back to Tumblr?
I’ve been away for a while, but the new features may have lured me back. Now I have a good reason to get a Flip. Right?

Posting from an iPhone
Entering text is a bit problematic. The iPhone attempts to zoom to focus on the text-entry box, but it fails to adjust the width properly, causing the text being entered to spill off the screen. The screen does scroll left and right as needed, but that isn’t the most elegant solution.
I don’t know if this is due to the page code, or a problem with iPhone’s interpretation of the...

Notes
I’m creating some contact pages at Pageflakes and Protopage. There may be more. Essentially, these pages will make it easier for people to find me on the intarwebs. I’m also testing blogging tools. Speed is essential. Flexibility is cool but not essential.

Job Search Night and Day?
Compare job search pages Monster and Indeed. Monster has quite a reputation, and it is well-deserved. Indeed is a relative new-comer, and has a very different approach to site design. While Monster is cluttered with unnecessary elements, Indeed takes a cue from Google and only presents the user with what is needed. Bless them. I may examine this further over at Lot88. Or not. Depends. On. Mood.

Trulia Real Estate →
Trulia is a real estate search engine. It’s easy to use. It’s fun. Although the listings are limited, and the site can be slow and a bit buggy, this mashup of real estate listings and Google Maps is a good indication of where web commerce should be heading. This is exactly the sort of thing consumers want.
Corporate identity, logos
Presently, I’m explaining to a potential client that the name, logo and identity for his company must be unique to avoid future legal complications. The problem? He’s emotionally attached to his “ideas.” He can’t see that they aren’t terribly original. He’s “in love” with the concepts.
I should distance myself from this project.
Sheesh.
