Thoughts on Web Strategy

Regularly, I get asked about the future of the web, or what is the next big thing?, what is all this Web 2.0 buzz? or I get called in to talk about web strategy in general or in particular. My...


Twitter cleanup

Spent the last 10 minutes cleaning up my Twitter follower's list. Twitter has just introduced a new feature called "block": We've introduced a new feature lots of folks requested called "block." Blocking someone means that you (and your pic) will...


Swiss french speak French

Why can't web app developers embrace the idea that language should be assigned as an array and not a single variable to a country? Switzerland has 4 official languages plus English. Defaulting to German is plain shortsighted. I learned...

Apple UK ads

The Get a Mac adverts are available on Apple's UK website with new actors. I find them funnier than the original ones. It must be that English dry humour touch.....

Stopdesign is back. Just write.

I was pleased to discover that Douglas Bowman (Stopdesign) has resumed writing again after a pause of a year or so. I particulary enjoyed the reasons why he stopped and why he is resuming. So I stopped using my feed...
