So where should the industry get all those brand dollars? There may well be an answer in another social platform. I saw something surprising, striking even, during another Advertising Week panel (it can happen!) deep in the bowels of Times Squares’ Dave and Busters. Digital ads that people seemed to love. Indeed, Tumblr, which has […]

Touch gestures
One of the coolest, native mobile user interface gestures ever created in my mind is the “pull to down to refresh” feature. It was introduced by Loren Brichter who created Tweetie (a popular Twitter client that was acquired by Twitter several years back). That pull down to refresh was decidedly mobile only.

A few years ago, I took my first vacation without checking my inbox and wrote about it here. That post was about taking a one week vacation and staying off email. But this August, I did something I haven’t done in 10 years. I took two consecutive weeks off. And tomorrow we are heading home. […]

Ever since iTunes, Apple has been on a path to move away from the desktop metaphor they pioneered. It used to be the case that to find a file/document/app, you would start with the Finder and find your thing. But iTunes changed all of that. Don’t look for a song in the Finder. Find your […]

It’s interesting to look at various social networks and communities and how we interact with them – particularly how we interact with services that are by default public as well as private apps. Another interesting dynamic are services where we use our real name vs pseudonyms. I find it’s interesting some services lend themselves to […]
