The HTC Rhyme
The HTC Rhyme is something of a delicate matter, as it is HTC's firstphone that is said to have been designed with a female audience in mind. Yet it comes in dull colours and looks quite a lot like every other HTC handset we’ve seen so far.

How Stickers Saved The Social Media Club
Last week I had the pleasure of presenting at a Social Media Club Masters Class in Atlanta and caught up with the club’s founder Kristie Wells. A very interesting take on the club’s rapid rise, including an insight on their number one promotional weapon … which has NOTHING to do with social media — Stickers! And by the way, I will be teaching the same class in Toronto October and I’d love to see you there! Some people even suggested my presentation “tore down the room” in Atlanta!...
The case for the iPad’s future
You have read comments “along the lines of all entrants to the tablet market are already doomed”, because it is not entirely clear that there is (yet) a “tablet market”. I think you are quite right about the potential for multiple iPads/”tablets” per household and thus a potentially larger market than PCs. But you said it yourself when you shifted emphasis between your second and third paragraphs — from iPad alone, to “tablet market”. What commenters are saying: There IS an “iPad Market”; the jury is still out on there being a “tablet market”....

Why Affiliates Love Justin Bieber | Finch Sells
Oh yes, they do. There’s nothing the affiliate world loves more than a good fad to ride all the way to the bank. Justin Bieber encapsulates the affiliate marketer’s wettest dream, and that’s a dangerous sentence if ever I wrote one. There are tons of affiliate offers that can be spun and peddled using Bieber’s bandwagon of fans – some that directly use his name, and others that need only be implied. It’s not the most reputable marketing tactic in the book, to monetize a brand that’s not your own, but we’re not the most reputable marketers...

Seth's Blog: Form design
The purpose of a form is not to treat the human as a computer, who will dutifully fill in each and every box just the way you want. No, creating a form is like hosting a party for words. Those little boxes (one per letter) are on some forms because it communicates to you that you should slow down and write clearly, because a human being is going to have to read what you wrote and type it in for you. The large lined area on the application implies that you're supposed to write more than one sentence. Online forms work the same way. When...
My semi-educated guess on the Amazon tablet – Marco.org
My semi-educated guess on the Amazon tablet In last week’s Build and Analyze, we speculated about what the future Amazon tablet might be, fitting the most credible rumors we’ve heard so far. (This is basically an expanded version of that, so if you listened, parts will be repetitive.) Dan Provost made some great points in response, and I think he’s on target except for the screen technology. I don’t think color e-ink is product-ready yet. Even if it could match the resolution and response time of today’s grayscale e-ink displays,...
How we ruined the tomato - Agriculture
iStockphoto Americans love tomatoes. As our second-most-popular produce item, we’re accustomed to the sight of them: plump and bright red, marble to soft-ball sized, and piled in abundance year-round in the refrigerated fruit and vegetable aisle of the grocery store. Many of us eat tomatoes every day: if not au natural, in ketchup, salsa, or marinara sauce. Yet our favorite fruit may not be quite as innocuous and delicious as it appears. In his new book "Tomatoland:...
