Mobile design →
cyncald:
Nice article from “A List Apart” about mobile app design. Thought this was an interesting way to categorize user’s mobile behaviors:
“In his book Tapworthy, author Josh Clark focused on three critical mobile behaviors: micro-tasking, “I’m local,” and “I’m bored.” These align pretty well with Google’s breakdown of mobile users into three behavioral groups: urgent now, repetitive now,...

I'm not clubbable
I am not a group person. An actor once said he was not “clubbable” - meaning he could not join in easily to a club’s set of values and mix it with a bunch of very like-minded people.

First published in 1925, F Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, which encapsulates the aimlessness hidden behind a smokescreen of opulence that was the roaring Twenties, only became truly popular after his death in 1940. But still it was not until the 1974 film, starring Robert Redford, Mia Farrow and Sam Waterston, that the visual language of Gatsby and the term ‘Gatsbyesque’ came into...
