Tuesday Tabs
Closin’ out the ol’ tabs for your reading pleasure.
· Outing The Heavy Clickers - mediapost
Interesting stuff although I wish he spoke more about the methodology - I wonder if there’s a selection bias in there somewhere.
· Homeland Security: Who Needs It? - gothamist
Is it not awesome that politics plays a role in our Homeland security? Yeah, why would NYC need a security budget, no one’d attack us.
· When is my industry going to stop lying? - longtail
Pretty good breakdown (with annotated image) of a typical magazine subscription ad. A touch harsh, but kinda right on.
· Design Thinking, Muddled Thinking - design observer
Clear thinking and good definitions are key to most fields, not just design.
· News Publishers Want To Change Robots.txt; Want To Make Sure Their Content Is Less Useful - techdirt
Muddled thinking indeed… replacing a one page description or even google’s fancier one with pages and pages of pdf documentation.
· The Most Anti-Tech Organizations in America - pcworld
These groups are not your friend. *cough*RIAA*cough*
