The difference engine and inference engine of the web is farther than we thought. This is not an AI game.. Its the web. The web of the pre-google era had experienced the harsh rebuttal, no takers! Then the google and mozilla search engine agreement. I always believed in the game of co-existence, so did many others. True, the segment in enterprise and standalone services are gone. Even the app segment and especially its creators (developers) work the same.

Tools of the web, like ifttt.com creates and engine to synchronize. More coverage on the ifttt interface

Ifttt.com is a marvel of intuitive interaction design — so simple a monkey could get it, but not so artless that an intelligent human would feel insulted.

Its not the disruptive nature, but the trust game. Classic twin-cities — open, web

Stories from HN: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3282407 generates the same precedent as the Github’s open principles. Now, the renewal of mozilla agreement may provide better balance. Mozilla and twitter integration has increased a lot better, parallel to its search bar along the url-awesome bar.

The google-mozilla agreement is up for renewal in 2012. The social game may come with a far better integration, with the possibility of data portability for us.

Early bird deals and promoted tweets are relics of an old twitter(well, not yet- google officially released the same in adwords). Data and analytics releases, with further [DataSift release this thursday.](http://gigaom.com/2011/11/17/twitter-is-a-stream-but-its-also-a-reservoir-of-... is already here. Gnip is the other beneficiary of this game.

Twitter's simple and elegant interface is just getting its cleaner image affirmed by a series of soft launches. Always admired a leap from retroactive process (twitter-community is too aware to choose 'farther' than the present).

Quite a few activity from my timeline (TL- [definations](https://twitter.com/#!/stefanjbecket/status/137597156482748416) ) is challenging. Note- 'activity' and 'your_activity' mentions is unaccounted since [Nov 15](https://twitter.com/#!/Support/status/136266468441600001). It gathered quite a few large annoyed sections #activitytab. The polling mechanism is not very effective(as in — accurate) ,but definitely never light on the ['@status](http://status.twitter.com/).

I did enjoy twitter manage my timeline fav's. Now, this is the first time since the original inception twitter have actually looked past the dynamics of [re-publishing](http://maji.posterous.com/subscription-model).
This recurring theme from twitter.com — adopting the twitterverse, with the present model of identity and attribution. >Identity and conversations
are the prime change agents
in
social sphere. As twitter moves away from the sole
-identity
platform (not single identity, as
facebook and google) ,it would call a lot interesting changes to the interface.
[previous post](maji.posterous.com/subscription-model)

An engagement quotient in my next post and [A Call](http://mjux.tumblr.com/post/12026862498/twitter-design-pattern).

The only successfull implementation to this general approximation is
just - Twitter. The key ingredients to this option is the engagement
and interaction. Open or closed isn't an issue - if it has to ride on
the subscription model.

Twitter implements the Universal-timeline and further, elements like
reply-to and re-tweet to get the content organisation or grouping. The
twitter presence of your only content is too lucrative for these
social equations(sole identity).

Twitter have removed the public-timeline feature, which many of its
denizens(pre 2009 era) would remember. The stream of content gave a
proper model for the micro-blogging platforms. The re-publishing of
the content is very much similar to the signal-noise reference.
Pinterest, the latest acquisition(re-pin).
Identity and conversations are the prime change agents in
social sphere. As twitter moves away from the sole identity
platform(not single identity, as facebook and google) ,it would call a
lot interesting changes to the interface.

Hence the experiments and sponsorship on multi-variate channels. This
experiment in identica !groups feature, presents a back-channel model.
Twitter lists had a similar fate in the adoption scenario. There is
nothing settled and social has to learn a lot.

A related call to get the social design pattern works-

Imagine yourself trying to get your idea to the other end of the
table. And its a big table, because you have someone who doesn't
believe in you- Ans. just himself.

Making people believe they have a problem is even more difficult than
just helping them. I guess we (designers) have our share among them.

We have worked up our problems before but facing them in the hour, is
a disaster always. An anecdote-
Inherently and indifferently people want to look good. This very
similar trait best illustrated in any quarter of the world. This may
be the oldest trick in advertisers handbook, but far from the evil
dupe.

Tell me how this works out for you? I tried my hand at vanquishing the evil uxMyth#19
A passage from Getting real

“Copywriting is interface design.
Great interfaces are written. If you
think every pixel, every icon, every
typeface matters, then you also
need to believe every letter matters.”

Now, a good curation and quotes like the ones above will help you
getting the clear perspective you lacked before. A look at the other
end of the table will convince you, your job isn't done. Your
solution didn't effect anything he needs. Present a topic he has
struggled in the past.

Q. How many times have you thought back at any post or tweaked their
spacing at their blog bio or tweet?
You don't have to reach to - semantics and encoding. The albatross
could be your first mate by then.
(disclaimer: If you walk away, you get to save your day! )

Facebook irreverently have always played against the sharing and privacy models.
I do admire their approach to question the fabric of web. But I can
not find myself justifying the recent recipie of sharing .

This present model may have originated from the social principle
'connecting', but have already lost all its meaning. Pairing and
pushing content doesn't seen relevant in the broader context.

The single point of control is not new in browser environment. Task
completion is simplest in its most intuitive form. Bookmarklet being
employed since the netscape era, gives enough depth to this design
pattern and its implementation.
Instapaper have always praised the customised folder bookmarklet.
Tumblr and many other follows suit.

Yes this post is more than targeting specific networks, that have
found their space among the active crowds. Social and curation both
holds lucrative option for this implementation. And mark when I say "
anybody " could feel the need to design such ubiquitious flow.

Here is the problem, I just don't care if this looks good with
facebook's newfound timeline. This could be the most awkward
technology of the facebook era.
I hope I get the facebook designers : "you got to do better." The
present design have made the web very dangerous place to tread.
Manufacturing the web for one hardly seems work for me. Relevant and
latest retrospection on seth's blog.

I, Interface by jeremy keith.

Now that is exceptional piece of essay and note the I' please. Very much.

I always argued against the terrific plot of every authors against its
protagonist who paints the experience. Imagine the quintessential bond
between watson and holmes, brothers but not in blood. Watson was not
only a mere sidekick who shared the wins and laugh, but provided much
value and expertise in holmes ventures, adventures and misadventures.
I believe any interface should possess these qualities to its core.

Mobile content in its essence
holds much promise. Further coverage regarding the 'mobile context' at

Practising design is the most difficult exercise to begin. Its not only your efforts; its your approach towards building one discerning factor against human nature to solve( just a solution suffice).

? There is no right way to do anything wrong. And you can’t possibly tune one better than the next. Arguments: The problem with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt. — Bertrand Russell

This vague feeling doesn’t leave you ever. If you are a designer this would be a very similar note to your daily activities. Yet your first experience with design or among designers is indeed an inspirational note. Early experience are always important to launch your career towards the right perspectives.

Luke Wroblewski, co-founder and a respectable product designer of Bagcheck recently updated his definations towards design:

“what is design?” = Its the cumulative effect of all the decisions you made about your product or service. » @LukeW, 27 Aug

Various user experience strategist have their definition of the art. “User experience is not about how a product works on the inside. It is about how it works on the outside, where a person comes into contact with it and has to work with it” — Jesse James Garrett,Elements of User Experience.

Most important aspect of creating experiences is how the user interacts with design first. The user not only chooses the model, mental model might be ingrained with the user. The product in the ecosystem always gives an expectant model. The best perspective I can lead: The conscious effort to maintain the integrity of the platform including all the explicits

Concerns regarding Responsive Web Design persuade prudent solutions towards exporting content; platform agnostic approach to mobile context and also its periphery.

Seamless experience can be built only with total reach for every context across most platforms.

The whispering messengers rise evidently in http://blog.comscore.com/2011/06/facebook_linkedin_twitter_tumblr.html . The content today is not in any search engines mercy, its plain relative reach, social.

The consumption mode around these divergent technologies is never defined well. The assumption regarding the present media is biased to each others form.
Instance: The most important approach to the bookmark policy is still prevalent. Recent blog statistics ( http://blog.zite.com/2011/07/zite-integrates-highly-requested.html ) with the aggregation and the likes, assumed on the <title> element, even with the contextual tag and hierarchy.

• Two basic form of < title > element to keep context at glance "little visible context".
Example: <title>{Title}
{block:PostTitle} - {PostTitle}{/ block:PostTitle}</title>
Long tag and archive pages are even more susceptible to get lost without its intended context.

This peephole concept is widely prevalent in mobile context and listings like 'saved' pages in opera mini. Context is an important element, do your best to save the hassles.

Congratulation to firefox team on the rapid release cycle at mozilla
[blog.mozilla.com/futurereleases/2011/07/19/every-six-weeks/] .

Recent comments in http://bit.ly/nJ5KVB and even the bug details:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=678775 is plain out of
context. Here- http://pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/238412/firefox_numbering_debate_is_...

Familiarity and user experience is very different through any context.
Familiarity can never demand a great experience.

Rapid release cycle is very much necessary to the present web
development as adopted by all the browsers standards. I must
congratulate the teams who can keep our experience clean.

My concern towards a better version upgrade and content strategy.

The content should find relevance always. A
prompt to the previous/latest release may (not) be a pertinent
solution in this context. This case study suggests an "offline and
delay" strategy, based on the user 'preference' / setting.

Any notification prompt should be avoided,
considering the annoying feature towards explicit user notification or
install prompts. It rarely holds any relevance in this context.

Suggestion-

"Version" details provides same context as 'about' menu. A separate
element invite the user to check the details.

Elements-

1. Offline session doesn't hold the 'version' element in the menu.
2. Settings > preference should hold the user immediacy status(twin state).
3. And you knock only once for Online users i.e on release day.

I have prioritized the notification without any urgency notices.

Within any context; content is the first focus of attention;
Content is king. Kristen halvorsan's 'content first' strategy at AEA2011 event in minneapolis burned a hole in the design community. Really..

@zeldman: There it is again! @Malarkey just cited a "Content First" approach. #aea / Notes of the talk are available in LukeW design/ideation blog:: http://lukew.com/ff/entry.asp?1372

Kristem's 'content first' approach against LukeW 'mobile first' is celebrated

@halvorson: Content should serve the user wherever they are, no matter the context or device. It's not mobile first. It's content first.- @beep #aea /

@zeldman: "Content first" is not "copy first." @halvorson #aea /

further I really need some more explanation..
@happycog: A content strategy model from @halvorson: substance, structure, (content components), workflow and governance (depending on people). #aea

Most shout- out to content strategist to focus the integral part of any design process.

Rule of web content strategy: "Get the writer in the room early and empower her, because she can help you." @halvorson #aea
