The Transformation of an Industry

“We started out as a Web publication focused strictly on the front-end design aspects of Web sites. Over the years that focus has shifted, not because our readership had changed, but because the Web had changed. Building Web sites was no longer just about presentation and cool GUIs, it was about good usability, solid architecture, convenient accessibility and compliant code, as well as transparent design.” – congrats to Nick and the team with the new transformation.

Gurus v. Boggers Design Shoutout

“Playing for the Gurus: Richard Saul Wurman, Bruce Tognazzi, Peter Merholz, Jakob Nielsen, Edward Tufte, Gerry McGovern, Donald Norman, and Andrei Herasimchuk. (…) Playing for the Bloggers: Jeffery Zeldman, D. Keith Robinson, Andy Budd, Didier Hilhorst, John Gruber, Greg Storey, John Hicks, and Josh Williams. (…) The Bloggers win in a shut-out, 8 to 0. A total Guru smackdown. Completely knocked out of the ring.” (Andrei HerasimchukDesign by Fire)

Content Delivery in the ‘Blogosphere’

“Blogs can be incorporated into any type of class for all reading- and writing-aged students. They can be used as a knowledge-management tool where teachers and students communicate with each other through the course of the semester, or as a tool to bring reflections or outside material into the class for everyone’s benefit. Following are a number of practical suggestions that provide a good environment for successful blog integration.” (R.E. Ferdig et al. – T.H.E. Journal Online) – courtesy of dave winer

“Balancing the kinetic energy between people, process, and technology requires a cognitive ability to step ‘inside’ the box and not be blinded by the walls. It requires the ability to iknovate.” (Paula Thornton)
