The Slow Web | Rebecca Blood
8 weeks ago by blech
"The Slow Web would be more like a book, retaining many of the elements of the Popular Web, but unhurried, re-considered, additive. Research would no longer be restricted to rapid responders. Conclusions would be intentionally postponed until sufficiently noodled-with. Writers could budget sufficient dream-time before setting pixel to page. Fresh thinking would no longer have to happen in real time." An interesting addition to Robin Sloan's essay Fish.

Stop Calling it Curation | Matt Langer
10 weeks ago by blech
'“Curation” is an act performed by people with PhDs in art history; the business in which we’re all engaged when we’re tossing links around on the internet is simple “sharing.” And some of us are very good at that!' A bit long and it skitters all over the place, but it's probably worth a read.

"Curator’s Code is an attempt to codify and standardize “via” links and attribution from link blogs and aggregators with two new symbols." "The inscrutability of these little symbols is irrelevant, because most writers aren’t going to use them. The problems with online attribution aren’t due to a lack of syntax: they’re due to the economics and realities of online publishing."

Flânerie Lives! On Facebook, Sex, and the Cybercity | Dana Goldstein
february 2012 by blech
'The most important thing to realize about the flâneur is that he was a character; not a real person, but a "type," a fantasy of male bohemianism created by Baudelaire, Balzac, and the journalist Jules Janin. Just as we carefully curate our online presences today--tagging only the most flattering photographs, listing the favorite books and bands that prove our coolness--these men created the flâneur as an idealized version of themselves: a seductive master of the modern city.'

GIF: A Technical History | Enthusiasms

"From a technical standpoint, the success of the lowly GIF is a mystery. Both as an image format and as a video/animation format, it’s vastly inferior to the alternatives." And yet, it succeeds. This is a good look at why (through the lens of a hex editor, no less).

february 2012 by blech
"Transcending its original playful identity, it’s no longer a place for strolling — it’s a place for getting things done. Hardly anyone “surfs” the Web anymore." A thoughtful essay by Evgeny Morozov that captures some of my dislike for the modern web. (Having said that, on editing my pinboard bookmarks, I find a disturbing number recently are from the NYT. So much for me flaneuring.)

Active URLs | Ned Batchelder
april 2008 by blech
"Their jobs page is omniti.com/is/hiring. A client page is omniti.com/helps/ning." Interesting design for URLs, although I wonder how much it's inspired by the Rails conventions for routing. It seems to work, anyway.

URL as UI | Traces of Inspiration
april 2008 by blech
Not exactly a groundbreaking observation ("good URLs are hackable"), but it's nice to see people thinking about them. I mention the del.icio.us tag navigation, as it's an interesting (failed?) experiment in the field.

Don't Import, Subscribe | All in the head
march 2008 by blech
A plea to change the model for pulling in social graph data: "Rather than just importing the data once and forgetting it, the subscription pattern embraces the fact that your source of data knows more about that data than you do"

About the Safari 3.1 Update | Apple
march 2008 by blech
I was half-expecting this lot to have to wait for 10.6, but apparently not; perhaps Safari's new life as a dual-platform app has led to lots of releases. Fun toys, including a Developer menu and local storage (using the HTML5 API).

Marketing by downtime, the Apple way | Pingdom
february 2008 by blech
I'm not as sure as this article is that the downtime is deliberate (is WebObjects that good? Also, they have to deal with lots of markets, and there's the legendary secrecy) but the store being down unarguably generate buzz.
