The Importance of Right-Left-Up-Down Standards in Product Design

Yesterday I created a meeting on my Android smartphone (Galaxy Nexus running ICS), filled in all the details, invited a couple of people, and then accidentally cancelled it. I had one of those "WTF just happend??" moments. So I came back to the screen, and I noticed that the "Done" button was on the right and the "Cancel" button was on the left.

Applits Turns App Development Into a Crowdsourced Lottery

Minit: An iPhone app for sharing 1-minute thoughts, moments and messages via video

There's no shortage of ways to send video messages and communicate with others around the Internet, but a new app called Minit could be one of my favorites yet. As the team says, it's "100% video. No filters. No text. No photos. No bull."

5 tips for writing compelling B2B marketing content

A while back, I discussed how to use humor in your social media communications, and why it works. However, when you delve into the world of Business-to-Business (B2B) communications, a lot of rules, regulations, and seriousness must be applied. Comparatively, the world of Business-to-Consumer (B2C) marketing has a much higher 'fun factor' when it comes to communications.

FREE Face Recognition API, Face Recognition Software Apps for the masses - face.com

Face.com has been acquired by Facebook, and as part of this process, we need to close up existing products and services so we can focus on new products at Facebook. We're working with Face.com developers to transition as we wind down support for our APIs - for more information please click here.

That was quick. Facebook shuts down Face.com APIs, kills Klik app, enrages developers

Fresh from its acquisition by Facebook last month, Face.com is closing down its facial recognition API over the next 30 days. While such a move isn't that surprising, third-party developers may well have reason to be upset seeing as just weeks ago the company said that it would continue to support them.
