Mal Gordon – How to Sell on the Web

You get Build With Chrome

Very Cool.

Looks like way too much clutter for me but with the advent of tech like Google Glasses adding additional layers to the physical world this may be where we’re heading.

So glad to see new interfaces like this appearing. The dominance of the keyboard and mouse as the main methods of interface with machines and the web may very well be coming to an end.

Because Leap is here! Touch devices are now old hat. Seriously, just think of the ramifications if this device works as advertised in terms of design, interactivity, gaming and accessibility. Designers will be able to create far more immersive experiences using retrofitted tech, exciting stuff indeed!

Last year, tired of giving and receiving countless presentations in Powerpoint, I switched to Prezi in order to stand out from the sea of “me-to” Powerpoint blandness.

Whilst Prezi is ridiculously user friendly what I neglected to inform you is that it was taking me up to three times longer to prepare a presentation than if I had been using Powerpoint.  Because I have been so time poor this year I have to confess that I rarely use Prezi for presentations unless it’s something really, really, really important.

I like Prezi but it has its downsides. Yes, it’s far more stable than it was last year but it just seems to take me a heck of a lot longer to get anything done in it and i’m not entirely sure why. It’s probably because it is so versatile at telling a story that I run the danger of going off on wild, time consuming tangents that I later have to back track from. With such a powerful combination of brainstorming ideation and non-linear story telling capability this is kind of understandable.
