It's not to say this doesn't work for some people, but it definitely doesn't work for me. I found Watch Series a couple of months ago when I was looking for a few shows to watch online. I have found every other show I've wanted to watch straight … [Read more...]

New URL Shortening services hit the web every week it seems. I can remember not too long ago when TinyURL was just starting up, and that hit with a huge bang. Ever since then, there have been countless creations of URL shorteners (where some even provided stats). However, only a select few have really succeeded to hit mainstream popularity and be of any use. I got an interview with the creator of is.gd, another very popular URL shortening service with many key features. Allowing you to track … [Read more...]

Digg is undoubtedly the most popular social news website on the internet. Hell, it sort of invented the social news genre itself! Digg has been a huge inspiration to me as a designer and developer, and I have learned so much through Digg's progression over the years.
