Twitter Redesigns main page

Twitter redesigned their main page to reflect the use that as taken over Twitter. Over the last few months Twitter has become a powerful news search. It brings the reactions of individuals to things that happen instantly. From politics in Iran to a Dell Taco opening up in Michigan. Twitter is becoming something that will be as pervasive as radio, only now you can pick and choose feeds. Newspapers are you listening?

Design for Mobile

It is becoming very clear that most people in the future will interface with their phone more than any other device. Phones have become the personal computer. Can design keep up? As technology evolves, we as designers must be prepared to evolve. Does the design work in a 640×480 (again!)? Can it zoom and still be clear? Is messaging the same as for a print piece?

Yes the Cell phone has grown up, in fact I agree with the PC Mag.com writer John C. Dvorak’s article “The Perfect Mobile Phone Is (Nearly) Here.” Here he states that our mobile phone will be our personal computer. Something that we carry with us and “dock” when needed. Makes sense. So as designers we need to fully embrace and begin our new transition into designing for this platform.

The best is yet to come.
