Chrome Experiments is a cool new website rolled out by Google to promote its browser Chrome (which is out with version 2.0 beta, by the way) and to demonstrate the power and fun that can be had with the awesomeness of JavaScript and the browser chrome. Emphasis on the small letter c. See how the [...]
Take an ordinary blog post, highlight a passage you want to comment on, and have it appear on the comment form without having to scroll all the way down. Or mouseover a comment, then show replies to it as well as all other comments made by that person. That’s all in the spirit of Encouraged [...]
In my feverish state of mind at the moment (yes, I’m ill), I went online to read up on videogames. From time to time I enjoy these, lately Eternal Sonata on the Xbox 360, and at the moment it’s Super Mario Galaxy for the Nintendo Wii. Guitar Hero 3 looks cool, I’ve got Guitar Hero [...]
Flock 1.0 is out, and it’s branding itself as a social browser. What that means is that they’ve integrated a number of online applications and social networks in the browser, easily accessible via buttons and sidebars. You can post tweets, see what your Facebook friends are up to, upload photos to Flickr, or even post [...]
Information/Pornography The Web 2.0 love-in is already fizzling out. I’m not alone in thinking that we need a new term for what’s happening around us. Om Malik proposes that we just start calling what’s going on “innovation” again, while Steve Rubel coughs up the “Cut and Paste Web“. Very punk rock Steve, but I prefer [...]

These days, you don’t even need your own webhosting account to launch your own site. Popular blog publishing solutions like Blogger, WordPress, and TypePad can be used to house every aspiring publisher’s [...]
Remember in the movie, Minority Report, Tom Cruise had that screen interface he controlled with gestures as he browsed through information? Eventually we’ll probably be browsing through the internet in a similar way. Over the last several months there have been some new tools released inching forward in the move from a flat browsing experience [...]
A recent interview at Daily Blog Tips showcased the thoughts of Coding Horror’s Jeff Atwood on RSS. It was an interesting viewpoint, and one that got me thinking. RSS is a technology; it should be completely invisible to the average user. When it isn’t, you get stuff like Oprah redefining RSS as “Ready for Some [...]
Inclusive design is really just a name for the positive feeling I have about certain designs. Exclusive, then, describes the opposite feeling. I call design like that which is behind Facebook strikingly limited, for example. I’m astounded that Blogger is still in use as much as it is. In short, I basically can’t stand anything [...]
