web 2.0 'neglecting good design'
Hype about Web 2.0 is making web firms neglect the basics of good design, web usability guru Jakob Nielsen has said.
He warned that the rush to make webpages more dynamic often meant users were badly served.
He said sites peppered with personalisation tools were in danger of resembling the "glossy but useless" sites at the height of the dotcom boom.
Research into website use shows that sites were better off getting the basics right, said Mr Nielsen.

teabag join the facebook revolution
Well we've finally done it, we've gone and joined the wonder that is facebook. Yes it probably means we'll get no work done because we're spending our days poking people and sending hugs and beers to our friends, but we can't help it, we've been sucked in and just can't get out!!!!
At least now you'll be able to tell us what you really think of us in our anonymous honesty box and see pictures of us getting leathered at executive events and trying it on with the hired help!!!! We've even got a special prize for the first person to turn us into a catholic schoolgirl zombie!
So what ya waiting for? we can all be special facebook friends. hugs and pokes for everybody!!!

black web theory
A new community on internet has appeared, based in on an old theory: video monitors uses more energy to display the white colour rather then black.
The BlackBack Web Theory. http://www.risingphoenixdesign.com/blackback.html
Based on scale of energy consumption measured by professionals from
Rising Phoenix Design, was created the Emergy-C pattern, a group of the
5 colors wich demand less energy consumption plus more the white color
for displaying letters.
You can visit Ecolron website to see an example of the technique, wich was built based on Emergy-C.
The author of this blog did an interesting calcs too,
considering that Google receives about 200 millions of visits per day,
and that each user stay at least 10 seconds doing a quick search, if
the background color used by google was black, an economy of 750MWh per
year is suddenly created, that is energy sufficient to keep 284
default-families by 1 year!!!
