I've always wished Delicious would get more social and more niche-y. One particular idea I'm interested in is to uncover user bookmarking patterns and not just bookmark popularity. I wonder if this this clone experiment would play with thes

Good print designers will know the possibilities and limitations of the medium they're working in. I think the same can be said about the screen medium.

Font rendering: I realize jMockups might only render "web-safe" fonts. But I would love to see an iteration that incorporates any typeface shared between a team of designers who have fonts locally stored. I have made attempts to switch to I

I love where this is going. One thing that I would like to see included, which is absolutely essential for the way I design website is line-height: it is the core structure of my design and layout. (Read more about line-heights and vertical

I love this idea, but how come they couldn't include this functionality into the Magic Mouse too? (Maybe next version?)

Other crazy factors involved: 1. You can't smell the product when you're in the store, so you have to know more about the product either through brand awareness or referral. 2. Like cologne, the smell you give off from a deodorant is about

I'm loving this new advertising strategy, but I'm still not going to buy this product. They've done a great job of making more people aware of the product, but I can't shake the image of my grandfather when I think of Old Spice! (which is n

Most video games have a pretty strict narrative: Finish the story or die. The ending of that story is often firm: I've rarely come upon a video game that actually has different outcomes based on the user's behavior/history.

Wait-a-sec, what about the kids over at Crisis Commons ( http://oreil.ly/dm1OW0 ) and Grassroots Mapping( http://bit.ly/99sLWo ) considered community journalists, and doing their best to work around the resources issue?

Ahh, ok, so blind speculation about even positive outcomes is dangerous (and I can see how this can be just as abused as shorting). So, I can see why paying attention to who is shorting and why they are shorting it is equally important. Per

Is there social value in shorting?

I'm also thinking that the actual production of interactive material is, when done relevantly, extremely time consuming. Can the cost of programming and interaction design stay on budget? Will $5 per issue be able to sustain this type of se

I will gladly pay for a phone outright if the carriers offer a data-centric plan for $50 a month with no commitment. Until then, I'm hiding out this year with Google Voice and my Virgin Mobile prepaid. So far, it's been awesome and works ou

I started reading this too, and did some tangential reading along the way. I'd hate to be in the same room as 2010 Lewis and 2007 Lewis: "But the most striking thing about the growing derivatives markets is the stability that has come with

I loved their .02 feature which was essentially like short little tweets you could send to other friends. It was super easy to use and before my friends ever understand how to use Twitter, they knew exactly how to use this feature.
