UI changes are news: (sign that design is becoming mainstream?)

@markboulton Agreed…the mark of a good design is durability…that it doesn't need to be iterated on ad infinitum.

Once you remove what's unnecessary, design becomes a hell of a lot easier.

I love Converse's design your own shoe service. You can customize just about everything. Costs about $20 mor

@LizaPotts Not sure it matters…not much matters beyond a portfolio containing smart design decisions. (ymmv)

Great article on design & innovation: Clayton Christensen And The Innovators' Smackdown -

@LostMahbles Sending you slides from a talk…and check out the microcopy Flickr group:

RT @d_imi: Microcopy is truly an art form. (I think of it as a design form :)

Heading home after a few days in Lisbon. Honored to be part of @BrunoFigueiredo's fantastic event. #uxlx

Heading to Portugal for the first time to partake in UX Lisbon.

I'm really looking forward to this: I'm going to be part of UX Lisbon this coming year:

The Flickr team should build a clone of Instagram right now and make sure it's out by the time Facebook closes Instagram down.

"Peak Facebook, when it does arrive, is something that Facebook-haters should fear, not welcome."

Scary stuff: Imagine being refused insurance based on a Google Search or Facebook activity:

Gowalla's post about joining Facebook: (Gowalla will be "winding down")

@notasausage @fredhq @jlbruno It's about the relationship...I just don't want one with Facebook. I don't trust them.

Money slide from nice deck on future proofing from @brad_frost

RT @kissane: My one lesson from the '99 tech bubble: ignore the money and the news, find good people who make wonderful things, and help them do it.

@fredhq You're so Web 3.0 money and you don't even know it.

While button color is interesting (e.g. ) it's not where the money is. The money is in emotion. (gathering data on that)

We just launched a partner program @performable (a referral program: refer a friend & make money)

@halvorson So much money wasted on redesigns. Hundreds of millions. Continuous improvement is the only way to go.

Great talk by @feather on designing for different contexts and how apps can/should adjust based on time/location. #uxlx

Great overview of the Browsers vs. Apps debate by @timbray /via @natekoechley

Another solid viewpoint on the native apps vs. shell apps debate:

Since Apple forced @NewYorker into the newsstand app I read it much less. When it was its own app I read it more. Small UI changes add up...

A good way to read the New York Times: the Skimmer app:

@aarron Would love to hear how your experience with @reframer app goes… /cc @zakiwarfel
