Today Twitter launched a redesign of the Following and Followers pages. By default the Expanded view is displayed, but you can switch to the List view in the top left: It’ll still show you 20 people per page, but without the location and last tweet sent. On the right side of each username are two [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: How to make the perfect egg cream
This photo was taken at the famous Junior’s Restaurant in Brooklyn on my first date with Orian. God what he must have thought when I eagerly pulled out my camera to snap this pic. I’m on a date with a chick who takes photos of her food? If it weren’t for that milkshake I might [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: Elvis had cheap gas
Elvis’s Automobile Museum at Graceland is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. More than 50 vintage cars in absolutely pristine condition. If you ever find yourself in Memphis, the cars and the house are not to be missed. Among the cars was this old Tokheim gas pump from what must have been the [Keep Reading…]
Twitter changes its email notifications
By default, every time someone new follows you on Twitter, you get a notification via email (which you can turn off in the Settings, as I have). Yesterday I saw a bunch of people in my stream talking about a newly designed email notification so I decided to look into it. Here’s the old notification [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: Whirlpool dishwasher utensil tray
A few years ago I went out with a guy who made me dinner in his apartment. I’m going to refrain from saying what I thought of the food. But at the end of the meal as we brought the dishes into the kitchen, I noticed that his dishwasher had a unique design that I’d [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: Tropicana grocery display
I don’t want to beat a dead horse here. We all know that Tropicana redesigned their cartons and there was a major backlash from consumers. In the end it was pulled from the shelves, but not before Matt Knell was able to snap this unbelievable pic: Matt showed me this photo on his iPhone recently [Keep Reading…]
My Interaction 09 recap on Boxes and Arrows
Interaction 09, IxDA’s 2nd annual conference, took place in Vancouver this year in early February. As usual, I live-Twittered most of the sessions and posted the tweets here on the blog: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3. The NY chapter of IxDA hosted an Interaction 09 recap event for those who were unable [Keep Reading…]
Twitter tweaks the homepage, again
A month ago I wrote about Twitter finally integrating Twitter Search into their homepage by adding a search box and the Top 10 Trends to the nav bar. Now it’s been redesigned yet again. The search box has been moved to the right sidebar, along with the trends listed out (instead of hiding in a [Keep Reading…]
Skitch beta 8 now available
If you follow me on Twitter or read this blog enough, you probably already know that I’m completely in love with Skitch. It’s by far the most common tool that I use for my everyday work — taking screenshots, making annotations, resizing images, etc. Skitch beta 8 was just released a couple days ago with [Keep Reading…]
Twitter finally integrates Twitter Search a.k.a. Summize
In July I mentioned that Twitter bought Summize, a search engine that indexes tweets, and redirected the site to http://search.twitter.com. Now finally, almost 8 months later, Twitter Search is fully integrated into the Twitter top nav. A search box is now globally accessible and the top 10 trending topics are displayed in a dropdown. In [Keep Reading…]
