I'm talking about Lanyrd's mobile strategy (iOS and mobile web) at #fowa/#fom12 this afternoon http://t.co/FKBfhvDw
@simonw wish I was there, Lanyrd’s homescreenable(?) mobile website is one of the best examples I’ve seen so far.
Jack Way approximately 34,300 tracking attempts blocked in ~5 months. The max I’ve ever seen per page is ~20, average of ~5.
Nick Charlton I haven’t given it a go yet. Better than Shadow/Edge Inspect?
Visual Idiot:
The new eBay: because box shadows aren't any good unless they're solid black. http://t.co/v6h6xoZo
.@idiot also, “each item is instantly shoppable”
Drew McLellan alternate so as to count from 0 to 3 in binary. Your dominant eye is the MSB
Drew McLellan ken-oo-tuth, with compulsory eyebrow raising on the “oo”
Tom Morris:
Someone's responded to my blog post in Russian. http://t.co/JnREAZWR Google Translate isn't really helping me understand it. ;-)
Tom Morris I especially like the translation of “prick” to “woodpecker” ;)
Tom Morris:
Details on how to become a balloon pilot in the UK. Why? Because (a) it'd be cool and (b) taking aerial photographs. http://t.co/ddCON05h
@tommorris that would be cool, but I’ll stick to adding POIs for the moment and build up to piloting a balloon :)
Aral Balkan:
You know what runs on any screen, every device? An API. The future isn’t cross-platform UIs, it’s continuous client experiences.
Aral Balkan and as usual, the future is the past, with extra bits on — a return to true REST and no more http abuse
Aaron Parecki:
Looking at #opensource alternatives to Google Analytics. Anybody tried http://t.co/JCWexJnD or... #indieweb http://t.co/GKonCjpC
Aaron Parecki I use and enjoy Piwik. Real-time analytics is great and the API can be really useful too. In fact I don’t use it as much as I’d like to.
Sandeep Shetty:
@BarnabyWalters is it in PHP? I need one for the http://t.co/YmaMZqTe implementation I'll be working on tonight...
@sandeepshetty yep. At the moment it’s a couple of functions, by tomorrow it’ll be a PHP5 namespaced composer package.
Aral Balkan:
Because @brightoncomedy’s online form is crap and keeps rejecting my order, I phone @brightdome & get told there’s an additional fee. #fail
Aral Balkan just tell them you’ll pay the extra fee, provided you can deduct 20% inconvenience tax
Aral Balkan:
… Beauty of that interaction is it has authenticity, substance, a story. It feels real. The app becomes a solid object to #play with. #xd
Aral Balkan the other interesting effect I get is an increase in perceived productivity. Closing an app via multitouch instead of physical button seems a more fluid UI
Aral Balkan:
Anyone else love closing iPad apps with a dramatically slow five-finger-pinch zoom out? No? Just me then!
Ben Ward:
If cross-posting is how this is going to go, it would be quite neat for http://t.co/m7UL6uVU to add summary card mark-up to their permalinks
Ben Ward I cross post, so added to my todo list. Would also be good if they followed http://indiewebcamp.com/syndication_formats
@cssquirrel I have no idea what’s going on :|
Drew McLellan:
"When we first launched, Tweets were a simple 140 character update." Yeah, now they're like totally rich living conversations.
Drew McLellan and not even realtime. FEEL THE DYNAMICALITY
Evan Prodromou:
@BarnabyWalters Augh! Please, don't use that insanely bad name. http://t.co/Cj9Dp4j7
@evanpro very good point. (And “Gaia” for the UI? Please.) Firefox OS it is, then :)
@kaelig Laura Kalbag woo. despite blatant visibility principle violation, that’s useful.
Brian Suda:
will app dot net beat out tent dot is? Will these words even make sense in 18 months? Thinks he prefers tent over app.
@briansuda I did start writing a complainey blog post about both of them, but decided to spend the time building something more webby instead.
