In No Particular Order

These my micropostings and bookmarks – March 8th through March 30th:

• Tell-all telephone | Data Protection | Digital | ZEIT ONLINE – Wonderful data visualisation of months of mobile phone use – movements, texts, calls – overlaid on an animated map over time. I particularly like the columnar, dense way that each day is shown. Via @fastcompany.
• Microsoft Wants You to Control Your Phone by Touching Yourself | Fast Company – "Skinput" – love it.
• Twitter isn't very social: study | Econsultancy – "50% of all content consumed on Twitter is generated by only 20,000 users."<br />
  <br />
  This could mark the change from 'conversational' to 'monetisable'.
• Optimizing a Screen for Mobile Use (Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox) – Lovely example of ruthless simplification and device-specific polishing. I love the phrase "killing time is a killer app for mobile".
• What does the future hold for f-commerce? | Econsultancy –

These my micropostings and bookmarks – February 20th through March 7th:

• Photographic Science: Exposure – Moret than you ever wanted to know about lumens, lux, flux and exposure.
• Method: Eight Things Stand-Up Comedy Teaches Us About Innovation | Co.Design –
• BBC – College of Production – College of Production –
• Owle Bubo HD Video Kit (iPhone 4) – Interesting, but getting to be the same size as a compact professional camcorder… Looks like it's either unadorned iPhone chic (ie windy, distorted and shaky) or pro quality that's bulky…
• Digital remit advice – Committee of Advertising Practice – Summary of the impact of the ASA's new remit to include user-contributed reviews within its assessment of a brand's marketing activities. 
• http://patterns.ideo.com/images/uploads/pdf/patterns_vol3_shanzhai_final.pdf – Lovely piece by Ideo, considering the Chinese "Shanzhai" manufacturing/pirating as a 'design pattern' and as an open source model for innovation.<br />

  Nice examples, well presented and a lovely design too.
