AerInterest: Web Applications in the Pipeline? Here are some excellent tips:
Posted by Brian Wong on Jan 14, 2009, under AerInterest
Smashing Magazine, as always, has an excellent post about a few web application elements that are not only trendy but extremely useful. Always good things to keep in mind if getting ahead is part of your game plan. (Click the image to view the article)
We would add something to this list: quiet tools; information and navigation elements that are crucial but unobtrusively present, giving you the feeling of polish:
Share, edit, delete, resize, timestamp functions are all there, but quietly there.
Netvibes does this really well with their highly customizable homepages. Their latest theme, Lumi, was just recently released. It’s a lot less flashy than their other themes, but mainly because of this new ‘quiet’ approach. Good on them.
At Aer, we have a few web applications in the pipeline. We’re excited to be in a time where tools and technologies are available to us to integrate these pinnacle-of-usability tools into enhancing the experience of our audiences and users.
