Down for everyone or just me?

Down for everyone or just me? I love cool little ideas like this site that lets you check if a site is down. Now we need one to answer questions like ‘is everyone staring at me, or is it just me’.

Twitter ‘Jumps the shark’

ProBlogger Launches PayPerTweet .  Before you get all ‘WTF!’, this is not for real.  An early April Fool perhaps?  It had me going for a few seconds!  Scary thing is that someone is going to think this is a good idea and try and do it.

Far from Grotesk

SEO is dead. Long live ‘findability’.

A List Apart publish a great article from web designer Aarron Walter — author of Building Findable Websites: Web Standards, SEO, and Beyond (New Riders, 2008) — addressing the issue of, what he terms, ‘findability’ and it’s importance in the web design and development project cycle. Walter rightly asserts that, as web professionals, connecting with our audience is the most important aspect of our work. He believes ‘findability’ is an integral part of making that connection but thinks most of us come at ‘findability’ from the wrong angle — seeing it simply as what he calls “search engine duping” SEO. I like his take on this and feel that if we start calling it ‘findability’, not SEO, we might just take it more seriously for ALL projects.

For my part, my team and I have mostly been doing ‘findability’ but calling it SEO - cue Monday morning memo title ‘SEO is now being called findability upon pain of death!’

I am slightly lightheaded with ideas and excitment having looked at only a handful of the hundreds of gorgeous examples of typographic design layouts in this Flickr pool. Josef Muller-Brockmann makes many an appearance, and any […]
