Sorry, things have been quiet around here lately as I’ve been away on vacation. Back to regular posting this week, starting with these remainders:
Lovely Charts is an interesting online diagramming application.
Brian Eisenberg would love ScrnShots (I hear Brian has a screenshot collection to end all collections)
Anil Batra is doing a survey to understand bounce rates – take some time to fill it out.
Third Tuesday Vancouver is coming up on January 29 at 7pm. Speaking will be Brian Oberkirch on Social Media and Brands. Brian’s a great speaker and someone who’s social media opinion I really enjoy.
YSlow is a nice add-on for Firefox (p.s. You’ll need to install Firebug first). It analyzes web pages and tells you why they’re slow based on the rules for high performance web sites. YSlow is a Firefox add-on integrated with the popular Firebug web development tool. YSlow gives you a performance report card, HTTP/HTML summary, a list of components in the page and tools including JSLint.
Versioning CSS and JS files. Nice approach.
Luke W reiterates my long-held belief that metrics need to influence product design and strategy.
