AddThis.com has two nice little widgets that combine 34 bookmarking services and 22 RSS feed services into single buttons, perfect for “Web2.0 Social Media Optimization.” I’ll provide an example:

On my way home tonight, I remembered something that had to do with speech recognition, which I forgot to bring up in class. I work at BB&T, and last Friday someone left a cell phone (I don’t know what kind it was – a Blackberry maybe? It seemed high-tech, anyway!). Well we called the last contact on the phone which happened to be the person’s roommate, and she said she would let him know where his phone was. The next morning when we opened the vault (where we had put the phone the night before for safekeeping with everything else), the phone started beeping. We thought it was a call or a message coming through so didn’t pay attention. But a few minutes later one of my co-workers was on her phone and the phone started beeping again and when she looked at it, it […]

Pandora versus Last.fm
The two sites have similarities such as the user will name a band that they are a fan of, and in return the site suggests other bands that have a similar sound to the band that the user is already familiar with. In general, it is a great way to discover new bands that the user is almost guaranteed to enjoy.

Then goes through and plays other bands that have a similar sound and the user can decide whether or not they like the song with a thumbs up or down. Unfortunately, you can’t type in an exact song you wish to hear and you can only skip so many songs in the given amount of time.
Last.fm on the other hand has a client that the user […]

I find this quote far too amusing…. MAGIC!

As a designer I am supposed to communicate, visually, a message. Be it to get the general population to buy a certain brand of soap, navigate easily to a news article or bring down the government with a series of well placed, ingenious posters. That’s why I’m in school right now, that’s why I give Belmont University over $20,000 a year and that’s why I am a bootstrapping young man. As far as the institution of education goes anyway…I’m learning to be a better designer, finding different ways to solve problems with the tools I’m given (pen, paper, x-acto knife, photoshop), perhaps by even creating my own device or using the standard tools in an unconventional way. This whole concept didn’t really fly too well with me my first semester at school…I slacked off a lot and had a 2.5 GPA, which really blew. Eventually I realized I was […]
