Hybrowse

jakelodwick:

You can combine the tags any way you like. You’re not stuck in a rigid tree of categories, like on most ecommerce sites, where you can only move backwards or forwards. With Hybrowse you can go from A to (A + B) to B.

(IT’S KIND OF HARD TO EXPLAIN WITH LETTERS SO MAYBE YOU CAN JUST TRY IT YOURSELF!)

The way tags should work. And design looking good.

Galactose is a pretty epic name for a sugar.

“What do you need, Universe Man?”
“GALACTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE”

Thanks; this will be my new branding litmus test “Does Universe Man need or fight this?”

A professional fashion model is offering to wear a t-shirt promoting any brand for a day. Tanaya Henry, a 21-year old whose modeling credentials include L’Oreal, Microsoft, VH1, and Sephora, says she’ll not only wear a branded t-shirt, she’ll also “do a professional photo shoot wearing your t-shirt, write a blog post about how kick-ass your company is, and I’ll even talk about your company to all of my model friends.” She also promises to post pictures of her wearing the t-shirt to her Flickr, Facebook, and Twitter accounts. (via Brandchannel | Fashion Model Pitches Brands On T-Shirts) Great idea; works wonders for her own publicity; much better than selling pixels for advertising.

If it’s easy to read, it’s easy to do, pretty, good, and true (The Psychologist)

psychotherapy:

Suppose you ponder whether a new exercise routine is suitable for you or whether a statement like ‘Orsono is a city in Chile’ is true or false. What would your decision be based on? Most psychological theories suggest that you would consider the nature of the exercise or draw on your knowledge about geography to arrive at an informed decision. Surely, you wouldn’t base your judgement on the print font in which the material is presented – or would you?

Surprisingly, recent experimental research shows that the print font can exert a profound influence on such decisions. This is the case because print fonts and related variables influence how fluently new information can be processed. The resulting feeling of ease or difficulty, in turn, informs a wide variety of judgements, from judgements of effort to judgements of familiarity, truth, risk and beauty (for a review see Schwarz et al., 2009). We illustrate some of these effects, discuss their applied implications, and note parallels between people’s reliance on the metacognitive feelings of ease and difficulty and their reliance on moods and emotions as sources of information (Schwarz & Clore, 2007).

What do I take away from this? Good design matters! A lot.
