- SAPO Campus (my full-time project nowadays) is supposed to provide this wonderful set of happy magical fun tools to a University. It’s a tough crowd, we’re aware of it. On one hand you have Internet savvy students, skipping class for a few Farmville dollars, and on the other, teachers and support staff, most of them struggling to get this “social networking facemagazine thingamajig”. Oh, and everyone in the middle. While we’re convinced we already offer some very compelling tools that should please both ends of this crowd, there’s this one thing that some (yours truly included) consider pretty damn central to the whole “unified” experience: an email client. While we’ve kept pretty much silent on the matter, this has always been on our list of awesome-must-haves (yes, i’m hyphenating it). Albeit pretty old, email is still pretty much central to the whole Internet experience, and the Gods, in all of their godliness, would surely scoff at a PLE which failed to provide at least a simple email client.

After much discussion and back-and-forth of ideas, I think we’ve finally nailed it, and, let me tell you, this is going to be wayyyyyy better than the iPad. Ok, not better, but still pretty damn close. (…) more after the jump ›

Great information design video. On the other hand, watching this made me feel kind of scared about Facebook. If this trend goes on, soon enough Facebook will be the Internet. Oh well.

This is a video from last year’s edition of FOWD, but I’ve only just stumbled upon it. 37 Signals‘ Ryan Singer delivers a great talk about Usability in Web Applications. Topics covered range from using emphasis to make your designs more usable up to using human language people can actually relate to. It’s a long video, but definitely worth the watch.

Joshua Porter over at Bokardo published an excellent slideshow in which he discusses the various stages users go through as they use applications over time. The slideshow is definitely comprehensive and not something you should just glance over, so make sure you find the time to read through what this man has to say, because it’s pure gold. Head over to the original post.

Take a look around the room you’re in right now. See all those devices, all that furniture, all those DVDs? All that stuff? Have you ever wondered where it comes from? Annie Leonard at The Story of Stuff did, and she wants to share her findings with the rest of the world in this amazing video.
“The Story of Stuff” is a 20 minute, down-to-earth and approachable animation that goes through the various stages of the product lifecycle (Extraction, Production, Distribution, Consumption and Disposal) while providing enormous insight into what she believes to be a fundamentally crippled business model. Make sure you watch this and pass it on. You won’t be disappointed, and hey, this girl might just end up saving the world.
