- 21 top tools for responsive web design | Feature | .net magazine
- "To get started with building a responsive site, having a strong toolkit can make a world of difference. Here Denise Jacobs rounds up 21 great tools to aid the process of making your sites responsive."
- Subtraction.com: My iPad Magazine Stand
- "My opinion about iPad-based magazines is that they run counter to how people use tablets today and, unless something changes, will remain at odds with the way people will use tablets as the medium matures. They’re bloated, user-unfriendly and map to a tired pattern of mass media brands trying vainly to establish beachheads on new platforms without really understanding the platforms at all."
- Subtraction.com: iPad Magazines Go to ’11
- "It’s bordering on obstinate to think that something you care so much about can be salvaged by doing more or less the same thing that has failed magazines so consistently until now: continuing to ignore the fundamentals of digital user experience design and how they diverge from analog print design."
- Subtraction.com: The Other Kind of iPad Magazines
- "There’s a deep reservoir of opportunity here; some of it would be easy to pull off but a lot of it would be difficult to make happen, because it would entail turning these apps from magazines into truly social products that just happen to look like beautifully designed magazines. That’s not an easy task, but someone is sure to do it, and whoever that is — whether it’s Flipboard or TweetMag or someone else entirely — they’ll stand the best chance, in my opinion, of creating a truly new, truly engrossing reading experience."
- Button Sluts and Web Actions
- I think it's fantastic that folks are starting a conversation to get beyond social media buttons into what people are actually doing. It's important, as the alternative truly is another NASCAR effect on the web, as if we didn't have enough ads.
- Underscores vs. dashes in URLs – YouTube
