Benjamin Golub has been busy. He runs the site RSSmeme, an RSS aggregator that displays the top Shared Items items from Google Reader users. For a brief time, RSSmeme was the only Google Reader aggregator in town after ReadBurner closed up shop. But not too much later, ReadBurner was purchased and relaunched (our coverage), putting the two sites in competition once again. However, it looks like...

Take a day off and you're behind. Take an hour off and you just missed 300 more blog posts. In addition to the everyday struggles of information...

Why we skip Photoshop
via Signal vs. Noise by Jason on June 02, 2008
When designing a UI we usually go right from a quick paper sketch to HTML/CSS. We skip the static Photoshop mockup.Here are a few reasons why we skip photoshop:You can’t click a Photoshop mockup.

Search Read Items in Google Reader
via Google Operating System by Ionut Alex Chitu on June 17, 2008
One of the most useful features that is missing in Google Reader is a way to search the items you've read in the past. This is useful, since Google Reader's search results are sorted by date and it may be difficult to find an article published two years ago.Depending on your preferred view, Google Reader defines read items differently: in the expanded view posts are marked as read when...

Companies Change, So Do their Logos
via TechCrunch by Erick Schonfeld on February 06, 2008

Library built into a staircase
via Boing Boing by Cory Doctorow on February 19, 2008
The stairs going up to the attic room of a Victorian row house in London have been fitted with books that line each riser and wrap around the edges. As someone who lives in small places with lots of books (and no matter what I do, no matter how ruthless I am, I always seem to have lots more books that I have room for) this kind of thing is sheer aspirational porn for me. The flat occupies part of...

Visualizing Social Media Fatigue
via ReadWriteWeb by Josh Catone on February 07, 2008

With so many new web sites and services vying for our attention it is easy to feel the effects of social media fatigue. Andrew Shuttleworth, a social media junky...
