Explanation: Twitter
Great article here on FastCompany with Co-Founder of Twitter, Evan WIlliams. Walks you through what Twitter is and all the hub-ub.
My brief:
“Twitter is a utility for keeping people connected via short status updates.”
“If you hear from someone — even something as mundane as eating a sandwich at this restaurant — then you get a picture of this person you’re interested in. You get what some people call ambient awareness.”
There are also productive uses for Twitter — like people using it for status updates on the Southern California wildfires.
Okay, so you may still not “get it” go Twitter someone and find out.

Obama is design savvy
I can’t say enough about the design efforts that go behind Obama’s campaign materials. Here is just the latest design nerdery that i’ve come to expect and love form his design staff.
The poster on the right is an example of famous German Bauhaus poster. Given that Obama is on a trip to Germany this week, his design staff decided to show a subtle tip of the hat to those historic German designers. Not to mention one of my favorite design periods/schools of all time.

Is email dead?
I’ve recently traveled to Sweden, arguably the cell-phone capital of the world (at least it seemed that way to me). I’ve also started enjoying the twitter experience a good deal lately. I use Instant Messengers of all kinds to communicate with co-workers and clients - all day. I ask the question: Is email dead?
It may not be dead yet, but it feels like a dying mode of communication to me.

Flash can now be indexed by Google/Yahoo, insert sarcasm, Yipee!
Adobe announced yesterday that they have helped Google and Yahoo to index flash files on the web and it’s gotten a lot of coverage.
Adobe is providing optimized Adobe Flash Player technology to Google and Yahoo! to enhance search engine indexing of the Flash file format (SWF) and uncover information that is currently undiscoverable by search engines.
As Jay says, “let’s keep this under wraps“. I agree.
I understand why Flash is so tempting, it’s neat after all. But I still fail to understand why your “rich Internet applications” need indexing? Please advise…
