Previously I wrote about mainly sticking with Twitter or RSS feeds to retrieve my most wanted news. Due to those two methods, I rarely visit the actual websites. When I do I find myself quickly annoyed or closing the browser because I am attacked with ads.
On a rare occasion I would look at my RSS feed and I would wonder what I was doing wrong exactly. While the XML was pumping out what looked to be correct, it was formatted horribly in the reader.
When working on a much needed update, or new feature for my users it is very hard to get the rest of my team to not spill the beans. Of course, they mostly wonder why I am so secretive and the answer is – expectations.
So yesterday was Apple’s rock event where they announced iTunes 9, new iPod, and some other stuff. Thinking about wanting at tablet and then thinking about Apple’s hardware design, I of course thought about their web design. Like their products, their website has always been about simplicity. Maybe that is one of the reasons I love their web site and why they beat out Microsoft in usability.
