interface inYerFace
the good, the bad, and the UXly
I question the hierarchical flow from ‘special’ to ‘regular’ and from ‘keeper’ to ‘resale’, but otherwise, this categorization of t-shirts is amusing.
Infographic of the Day: Nick Foster says: “I have a T-shirt problem: after years of buying them, my house is now full. Whilst recently trying to tidy up the situation I realised that I was subconsciously categorising them. As with everything on the internet, it ain’t a ‘thing’ until it’s visualised in an infographic.”

The Traceability of an Anonymous Online Comment
A recent privacy study from Berkeley shows how far such a strategy might reach. The Berkeley researchers found that nearly all of the top 100 sites on the web contain some sort of “web bug,” another term for the hidden web connection that allows a third party to automatically track a user on the site. Some of these sites will load dozens of web bugs on each page visit, which will litter user data far and wide on third party servers.

Or, check out KnowPrivacy.org, and watch their short video on web bugs.
And download the Firefox (ahem) add-on Ghostery. It’s amazing and scary:




Now that’s what I call a delightful baking interface.

Buzzed and confused
Google Buzz, day 1:


















If nothing else, Buzz thus far has lived up to it’s name.
