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.

Location-Aware Music App Plays A Soundtrack For Central Park

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

Tue, 13 Dec 2011 10:56:03 +0000

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.

Real nice. On the Christmas wish list.

Part instrument. Part light play. Part information design. Esquire invited Hush to design a media installation on behalf of one of its sponsors, Acura. They made people touch, hear and play in unconventional ways. - Hush (via Fast Company)

Spotify Do Apps

:: It was only a matter of time… Soon we’ll get apps within apps within apps, and disappear up our metaphysical appholes. But can’t say I’m not a little bit excited about the prospect.

You can download the beta version and have play.

From Publisher to Platform: The Guardian’s Open Platform

Over a year old, but still a fascinating look into how a newspaper business embraces new technologies using an API model. And are now in a better place a year on.

Little Printer

:: Ok. So this is an old technology (a printer) redefined and distributing bitesize chunks of of data supplied by new technology (geo-located mobile activity via Foursquare) in a cute and quirky way. I’ve a feeling it’ll be big (in a small, adorable way).

Yet another great project to come out of BERG.

Zx Plectrum App

:: ”This is the best thing in the history of ever”, wrote one YouTube commenter. Couldn’t have put it better myself.

Loving the old-skool musical jiggery-pokery with this app of distinction by the ever experimental DaveSapien.

And possibly the best use of striped glove in iPad demo too.
