Jim Wolff, man
Delicious digital morsels served on a crisp bed of verbiage, sprinkled with freshly picked links and lashings of multimedia goodness. Occasionally.

CLEARly a unique UI
:: Sweet bit of user interface design from this Clear app, making other To Do apps (like even the wonderful Wunderlist - which keeps me at least 123% more productive) look a bit clunky and out-dated. Which is what all great design should do.
But whether it’s a new paradigm remains to be seen.

Coke’s Brand Strategy for 2020
:: In spite of all the wanky marketing guff, this is actually a pretty nice way of summing up how Coca-Cola plans to talk to their customers, plug in to social spaces, and embrace new technologies.
Beats joining a weird cult and staring doe-eyed into the distance.

How The Real World Feels About The Digital World
:: A neat infographical overview about the Digital Life research carried out by TNS Global. Apparently other people use the Internet too.
The UK’s Top Digital Trends vs Tomorrow’s
It was a surprise for me, but according to the excellent Digital Life research study by TNS, the UK digital audience spend more time Internet Banking than doing anything else online. Probably figuring out how to navigate antiquated banking websites, if my own choice of online banking is anything to go by.
And here’s where the future is …
Location-based services look like the ones to watch, though it’s unclear whether this means more growth for check-in based apps like Foursquare and SCVNGR, or services about locations like Yelp and Qype.
The research also includes a neat segmentation of digital lifestyles, whether brands are well received on social networks, how people comment in different sectors, and the online path to purchase. Well worth a play around on tnsdigitallife.com. Heaps more nuggets of infographical goodness.
