US Primary, social computing and attention to detail.
Posted on 5 March, 2008 by Bettina
The quality, functionality and sophistication of Obama’s website and Clinton’s website blow me away. The blogs, the shops, the features, the use of social computing… - both candidates are doing well and setting very high standards. The attention to detail especially with Obama’s online campaign are astounding - check the well design, coherent, custom made icon set!
And check their respective flickr sites - Clinton here, Obama here.
BOTH campaigns are running a photo commentary on flickr. BUT check the number of contacts and see how the Obama campaign blazes ahead again in the ‘attention to detail’ department.

Found a great list of firefox plug-ins for ‘Getting Things Done’ on LifeDEv - a site about ‘Personal development that focuses on creativity, productivity and GTD.’
I’ll start with better gmail and remember the milk for gmail and will work my way down the list - once my new laptop has arrived!

Dummy Text Generator - Little Beauty
Posted on 3 March, 2008 by Bettina
Ahhh - simplicity and purpose: Bindtext Generator
Does what it says on the tin!
I work with real (sample) copy where appropriate. I find it’s often beneficial for user testing and also better for clients to grasp meaning, potential or functionality within my blueprints. However there are plenty of situations where ‘Lorem Ipsum’ is indispensable and this little application is exactly what I need.
