Historians and scholars have access to every issue of every newspaper and journal written during the civil rights struggle of the 1960s but can access only a comparative handful of papers covering the election of Barack Obama Picture Quote #1

Now, not every blog post or ‘Top 10 Ways to Make Money on the Internet’ piece deserves to live forever. But there’s gold among the dross, and there are web publications that we would do well to preserve for historical purposes Picture Quote #1

I was in love with HTML and certain that the whole world was about to learn it, ushering in a new era of DIY media, free expression, peace and democracy and human rights worldwide. That part didn’t work out so well, although the kids prefer YouTube to TV, so that’s something Picture Quote #1

The web’s strength lies precisely in its unique position as the world’s first universal platform Picture Quote #1

I worry about every newspaper. I worry about the financial undertaking, and I worry that somehow the loss of the sale of the paper version will affect their ability to have journalists and editors and producers. We really need those Picture Quote #1

Wildly successful sites such as Flickr, Twitter and Facebook offer genuinely portable social experiences, on and off the desktop. You don’t even have to go to Facebook or Twitter to experience Facebook and Twitter content or to share third-party web content with your Twitter and Facebook friends Picture Quote #1

CSS is the design language of the web, and it is not as easy to use as it ought to be, and it can be confusing, especially if you are new to it Picture Quote #1

I was a journalist, but I was starving. And I’ve written fiction, but I couldn’t get a publisher. So, I was basically a very frustrated creative person working in advertising, and even there, I have a great idea that client won’t buy it Picture Quote #1

The less concerned with aesthetics and usability these friends and family members are, the more easily they navigate sites and applications I can’t make head nor hair of. Like the ex-girlfriend who mastered Ebay Picture Quote #1

With consumers buying two smartphones for every desktop computer they purchase, the demands, challenges and opportunities of the mobile space are reshaping our assumptions about design and user behaviour Picture Quote #1

Dropbox, with its emphasis on good old-fashioned hierarchies, is superb at automatically saving one original of each photo I take, whether shot with a phone or a fancy camera. No loops, no duplicates, no confusion Picture Quote #1

There is a difference between being arrogant about yourself as a person and being confident that your work has some value. The first is unattractive; the second is healthy and natural Picture Quote #1

I was a frustrated musician, frustrated designer, frustrated art director, frustrated novelist, right. I’d fail at all these different professions Picture Quote #1

Amazon doesn’t want to give Apple a cut of its media sales, so Apple won’t let Amazon sell products in its apps Picture Quote #1

Real web designers write code. Always have, always will Picture Quote #1

Content precedes design. Design in the absence of content is not design, it’s decoration Picture Quote #1

Whether the task is writing, design, or hanging a picture straight, it is obvious that we do our best work when healthy, rested, refreshed, alert, and eager to do the job for its own sake Picture Quote #1

Usability is like love. You have to care, you have to listen, and you have to be willing to change. You’ll make mistakes along the way, but that’s where growth and forgiveness come in Picture Quote #1

Web design is the creation of digital environments that facilitate and encourage human activity; reflect or adapt to individual voices and content; and change gracefully over time while always retaining their identity Picture Quote #1

Poor or missing information architecture neuters content, design, and programming and devalues the site for its owners as well as the audience it was created to serve. It’s like a film with no director. The actors may be good, the sets may be lovely, but audiences will leave soon after the opening credits Picture Quote #1
