It's really nice to see an approach that's different not just in UI but in concept. Smart.

I think this trend is representative of the fact that technology got way ahead of itself for a spell, and it is now under renewed pressure to connect with people outside of the extra-savvy. To me this trend comes really naturally when you'r

I started to think of Twitter in between SMS and E-mail as I think a lot of people did. To me Twitter is more of a protocol or even a modality than a platform. That's the brilliance of it: it's a speed and length of communication that feels

And in our world of pixels on the web you might think of it as the line-height property in CSS.

As someone with a fair amount of experience with design and type I know these posts aren't targeted at me. However, they always read a bit like a quick weight-loss scheme or a secrets of remodeling kind of thing. Perhaps the better analogy

We have so much rich geographical data and it's always refreshing to see someone (the artist / architect) asking simple questions about it. I'm much more excited about the work itself than Krulwich's commentary (for as much as I like him).

I really like seeing this UI approach becoming more popular. I find it particularly worthwhile because I think it helps build familiarity without being limiting the way simple autocomplete can. This approach broadens the knowledge of the us

That's a nice way to put it. That's exactly why these inventions are so interesting: they seem give insight in to problems of another order of magnitude.

This looks good. It seems like just the right time for this, and I like the collection of topics.

I didn't mean to imply that anyone has made the activity of creating structured data sufficiently interesting or worthwhile for "not so savvy" users, but that this project doesn't seem to advance to cause. A lot of people and companies do m

Great design is widely empathetic and desirable. Process is a luxury, and you earn the freedom to engage in it through producing good work. Remain focussed on that and you wont need to waste time deriding people who don't understand the val

A large part of the value of the web is in creating _structured_ data. I would be amenable to a proposition that gave people more creative tools for publishing on those terms, but I think you're missing the point of the medium.

Yeah, I remember. Dreamless was a truly ad-hoc institution though, and the tools people used to participate were all freely available and took some effort to use and understand. The aesthetic is similar, but I think the sentiment here is re

For some reason I see this as a more interesting criticism than simply seeing the pitches as too polished. As a young company I would guess that it's difficult to compare an investor offering a lot of money and an investor offering incredib

This seems to me to be a similar kind of evaluation that Google would do on its own work. Nice angle.

Good design has always been iterative, but now design is never finished. The 606 Shelving system certainly went through many iterations, tweaks and changes. At the time of its inception the method of production doesn't allow for the continu

Sorry for not being clearer — it's probably a fair downvote, but I'm being totally honest and don't mean to disparage the work of the Diaspora team. I thought it was a great project and really hoped it would succeed. I don't fault them for

I think you make a good point about the conflict between user and customer that Facebook struggles with, but I doubt think it boils down to Sandberg. I think you can probably expand further on that conflict in terms of choices they make abo

I would guess that a lot of the readers of the Times this is really helpful. I don't think most people understand this stuff at all, and the analogy is better than nothing.

I know we're all interested in the content, but that is a seriously bad reading experience. Just because the content is technical doesn't mean the font size has to be tiny and the line height squashed. It's way too dense.

This is most definitely a more persuasive approach than the standard format. Stick with it.

But Apple isn't full of OSX logos. It seems weird that the windows association needs to stay in their primary mark.
