After missing a couple weeks of this feature. I decided to take a couple hours out to make the whole process a lot faster. This will (hopefully) compel me to do this more frequently as my free time dwindles continually down. I would love to know if anyone enjoys this feature and wants to see it continue. I rarely get comments in these posts, so I would like to know how useful this is to you.
Enjoy the links.
The week is definitely heavy on the politics/current events and low on the tech/design. I try to even the areas out, but this feature tends to have a life of its own. Funny enough, there were no iPhone links this week - I have no doubt they will be scattered in great quantity throughout next week’s collection.
Enjoy the links.
Microformats are becoming hotter topic with each passing day. With Firefox 3 supporting microformats, web designers/developers are suddenly going to have many more tools hanging from their belt. I understood the gist of microformats, but it was not until I read a great brief on microformats that I understood the depth and power of what they make possible.
Semantic code now has a whole new layer of meaning and functionality with microformats that we currently have only scratched the surface of. In addition, those features will theoretically be easier to implement. The elemental microformats are where things get very interesting for me. Social features such as voting, personal connection and tags can be published and parsed through simple semantics. These features give the potential for any site to participate and contribute to socialized information. The next-generation social bookmarking/aggregator sites could be merely a centralized hub of otherwise decentralized information. This theoretically lessens the the need for behemoth all-in-one social sites such as Digg. This gives web publishers another tool to both contribute and tap into a stream of information to make data more rich and connected. Very exciting.
Yeah, I know - I am WAY late on this week’s links. I was a little distracted with the events of the weekend and had limited access to the internet. I am back-dating this post nonetheless just for the sake of records. Every once in a while, this seems to occur - I try to keep it to a minimum, but life happens. The Nine Inch Nails viral campaign caught my attention (as well as many others) this week. You can check out all the websites put up under the Noteworthy Sites section.
Enjoy the links.
Once this site is out of beta, the entire project will be available for download. Check in periodically for updates.
