De interfaces e controles remotos

A interface das fotos randômicas está cada vez mais parecida com um controle remoto, como essa da home da edição digital da revista Newsweek. De novo, o design empresta feições de dispositivos já existentes, se reconfigura e se transforma num novo formato.

your.flowingdata

Quer montar sua base de dados visual? Sobre qualquer coisa? Seus posts no Twitter, por exemplo? O FlowingData nos ensina:

"As many of you know, I've been working on a project that lets you collect data about yourself via direct messages on Twitter. It's called your.flowingdata (YFD). It started with just weight and sleep, but it's slowly growing. I recently added entertainment, potty time, smoking, mood, and something I call YFD pulse. You can now also download your data in CSV format.Here's my YFD pulse"

Open platform


Do Guardian Media:
"The Guardian today launched Open Platform, a service that will allow partners to reuse guardian.co.uk content and data for free and weave it "into the fabric of the internet".

Open Platform launched with two separate content-sharing services, which will allow users to build their own applications in return for carrying Guardian advertising.

A content application programming interface (API) will smooth the way for web developers to build applications and services using Guardian content, while a Data Store will contain datasets curated by Guardian editors and open for others to use."

Para fazer jornalismo comunitário, The Local


O novo serviço de open source do New York Times chama-se The Local. A princípio, restrito a Clinton Hill e Fort Greene, Brooklyn, N.Y., e Maplewood, Millburn South Orange, N.J, o projeto(ainda em testes) permite aos moradores daqueles bairros postar notas e fotos com dicas de lazer, esporte, restaurante e cotidiano:
  • Calls for citizen engagement, such as posts that mobilize users to research or resolve a local problem.
  • Creative works by people in the communities, including short films, poetry, sermons, book chapters, short stories and multimedia artwork.
  • Community contributors posting on topics such as the challenge of running a small business during the economic downturn, keeping a green home, local fitness opportunities and the small pleasures of neighborhood life.
  • Questions and Answers with interesting and important people in the communities.
  • A virtual refrigerator of art submitted by neighborhood children.
  • A calendar of neighborhood events submitted by users.
  • Announcements of lifecycle events submitted by users, including wedding announcements, photos, news tips and death notices.
  • “SeeClickFix,” an online service created by developers and entrepreneurs in New Haven, Conn., that encourages users to improve their neighborhood in three steps: See – a nonemergency issue in your neighborhood; Click – open a ticket describing the issue and what can be done to resolve it; Fix – publicly report the issue's resolution.
  • Local Real Estate – a map-based module linking to The Times’s real estate site that shows properties for sale or rent in the relevant communities.
