very funny satc2 review

A great overview of the good content on Shawn Blanc's site via the 404 page

its single-tasking posture may yet turn out to be as iconic as the original Google home page

Awesome enjoysthings review (translate it with google translate or something)

"neat simplicity"

"This is gonna be popular."

"A scrapbook of things you find and like on the web"

I assume this is all very favorable...

A great review from the comments of a great review of enjoysthin.gs: "Holy Jiminy this site amazingly well thought out from a useability perspective! I read your comment "The user experience on the site is a real home run" and thought cool, but I really visted to see what the actual service of boomarking stuff was like." Then I saw the little form field amongst the intro text and thought.. "hey can I type in there?". From that point on I was blown away! The ease of use sold me on the product even more than the product itself :) Thanks for the introduction. Great site.

"Have you tried enjoysthin.gs? Do you like it? I looked at my page of pictures this morning and it was like my own personal little daily dose of zen. I love it."

"pushing the envelope apps like enjoysthin.gs"

"it’s one of the prettiest sites I’ve ever seen. It makes me happy ... This site is visual Twitter."

The interface is beautiful and the site is a real joy to use... The service was created by Ted Roden ... The user experience on the site is a real home run; from browsing through the beautifully displayed items from other users to interacting with the site's basic functionality. Creating an account is remarkably smooth and the plush, over-sized displays make us want to jump up and down and clap our hands ... There's even an API for integration with outside services; though we dare anyone to try to make a cooler interface, it would be nice to see Enjoysthin.gs on FriendFeed.

"it’s one of the prettiest sites I’ve ever seen. It makes me happy just to go visit my page because it’s so pretty. "

Signing up for a web service like enjoysthin.gs is a pleasure when it is done like this.

a rad new site called enjoys things

If you work on it long enough. Getting things done.

‘HBA Case Review Question’: If Ted can produce 31 in 26, why can’t even (seemingly) capable companies produce 1 in 30?

"I am in love with enjoysthin.gs. It helps me resist the urge of posting random stuff on my tumblr. Ted, you’ve done an amazing job. The site is a joy to use and all 31 features are great."

"For some of us this is going to be a rough year. My horoscope says: "an uncomfortable year that will have some rewards. Eventually." Okay then. I am hoping that everybody enjoys things will help me to remember my own principles of pleasure and not get overwhelmed by predictions of discomfort."

"seems like a lot of extra effort just to sync a limited number of things between your computer and your phone. ... it does tie those three use case (notes, links, and places) together in an elegant way. It makes a lot more sense for people with less capable phones. Otherwise, I’d argue that e-mailing yourself such reminders and links to your Blackberry or iPhone—or tapping into the mobile versions of existing services you already use—is probably more efficient" (Not sure why retyping stuff out in a mobile phone is more efficient, but...)

"SHIFD is a great site for those who, like me, write themselves sticky notes everywhere to remember things."

"is going to be very successful"

"The mobile side is where this might be most useful, and in a sense the point of the whole thing ... It’s nicely designed." Also, he says it's probably not sticky and "I’m not sure the ShifD folks quite have it" (LIES!)

"too complicated ... weakness like inaccessibility to map of a place you store in your phone if the cellphone service is not available."

"an unfortunately named application with some really cool functionality ... users can seamlessly shift content between their computers to mobile devices"

"makes it easy to save web links and notes and synchronize them between multiple devices"

A 'review' of enjoysthings. (Vote up!)

Informational only, no opinion.

"The clean interface and operations is a big bonus"

"this isn’t an application that can be easily explained or compared to existing offerings. ... Shifd is already gaining attention"

"share little notes between their PCs and mobile phones .. What makes the app useful is that each link has links to various popular sharing and reference tools [and] you can manipulate and keep notes on your desktop as you would with sticky note"

"ShifD is a logical application that is well-organized and simple to use. In short, it makes life more manageable"

Music Reviews (mostly canadian)

great album. great (short) review

"The uploading process is a lot more prettier and makes use of little chunks of javascript."
