Netflix, gone where everyone has gone before. Only better.

On the Web - Wilbert on February 14, 2007 at 10:28 pm,

Netflix now ships in average 11 million DVDs a week compared to 7 million in september 2006.

You can say Twitter is pretty much in favor of [...]

The Notification Homepage

This blog post was written for, and published on the Online Journalism Blog. The last year has seen social networks like Facebook and LinkedIn updating the design of the homepage to turn it more into a notification page: the homepage as a place where you can see what your friends are doing.

Let’s call it a transition period. McLuhan called it marching backwards into the future. The value of the transition For [...]
