BlueFlavor.com redesign
A little bit of a shameless plug here, but I thought I would share the news that Blue Flavor’s website has been redesigned. We took an interesting approach to the way we display our clients, including an illustrated poster for each project we worked on (not all of our projects have posters yet tho). These illustrations are in addition to the standard project case study and screen shots. Also you may notice that down at the bottom of the page we have a link from Blue Flavor to Digital Web Magazine to tie it all in. Special thanks to D. Keith Robinson, Jeff Croft, Tom Watson, Kevin Tamura and Tiffani Jones for helping make the redesign possible.

SXSW Interactive (day 1)
Today the mass sojourn begins. Geeks from all over the world head to a little town known as Austin for a web conference by the name of South by Southwest Interactive. This year the travel didn’t go so smooth for most of us. Several flights in and out of Dallas were delayed due to snow out of all things. For those of us flying directly into Austin from Denver, Vegas, and other locations travel isn’t so bad. There’s already been several large herds of people going to dinner and then to drinks off 6th street. I myself have been busy hammering away the details on my presentation for Saturday only to take a break for a midnight dinner at the notorious Magnolia Cafe were geek ideas for the next killer apps are discussed and new companies are formed seemingly overnight. Tonight there were few from the web industry at the cafe, my guess is because most of them are still stuck in Dallas. Tomorrow should be pretty exciting and we are hoping for a more insightful blog post summary that goes beyond the weather and travel.

TwitterThreads, need I say more?
Every once in a while you see someone create something whose concept is so simple you ask yourself “why didn’t i think of that?” Well today was no different, and the great news is that the person happens to be from our very own Jessica Beck‘s partner in crime, Matt Beck. He decided to play around with the Twitter API and came up with TwitterThreads. It does as the name suggests; threads twitter posts. Unaware of this at the time I had unwittingly posted a question of the day just minutes prior and came to realization that I wouldn’t be able to see of the responses to my question given the hour (almost bed time). Now, thanks to Rick Turoczy’s mention on Twitter, I checked out TwitterThreads. After a quick login, there was my question and all of the replies to it in threaded format. Due to the amount of people I follow this is one hell of a nice improvement. How simple, how easy, how useful. Great work Matt! Read more about it on What Could Be.
