Excellent break down
A User-Centered Approach To Web Design For Mobile Devices – Smashing Magazine. << MUST READ!
I think this is how we should approach all of our work.
Interesting philosophy here.
I’ve long believed that real data delivers really effective design. Using actual content, information, and activity throughout the design process to inform and guide decisions results in product designs that scale well and communicate effectively.
Thoughts?
His last paragraph is the significant one for me. I have always felt – and noticed – that all aspects of the project are important. The most successful work is informed work. If we have as many details as possible up front, each piece can inform the others. Designers can design to the content while writers can write to the design. It’s hard to find that sweet spot but all sides can benefit from the other work being ready. In the end, collaboration and communication help to allow this.

Using social media to spread the word virally, RMHC generated 180,000 interactions on the global Facebook and chapter pages, ultimately increasing online donations in August 130% compared to August 2009 and significantly generating more to their donation boxes.

Beware Booze Bargains, State Says. << Effing EFF!!!! The PA Liquor Control Board is doing what it can to destroy the best thing about GroupOn and Living Social and the many other "daily deal" coupon sites. Cheaper BOOZE! They are saying that it's a violation to include alcohol within these deals and discounts. So that awesome groupon you saw the other day: $20 for $40 at Bar Louis can only be used for their crappy tasting food. Sigh. Why bother then.
Yahoo Paid $20 Million For A 12-Week-Old Company And It Was A BRILLIANT Move.
