[I'm going to start posting too-hot-to-handle links every Friday. I hope you don't mind if I steal... er re-purpose MTV's "F'N - Friday Night" title for each of these posts as it seems to fit. They will be in the format of number, link, and then my response/crit.]
Ok, no more time wasting! Here are these week's f'n links:
NUMBER ONE: "Does advertising add value?"
Skip the first two paragraphs if you're in a rush, but once he hits his stride Tom kills it, again, with this post about the "me, me, me" attitude of most companies, and how a quick change in perception might just help their sales (and brand equity). "Look like our celebrity" might of been a better title though.
NUMBER TWO: "Twitter took off from simple, to 'tweet' succes"
Yes, another "Twitter rocks" article, but, um, it does. This time it's straight from the co-founders Jack Dorsey and Biz Stone. Sweet names by the way... I think they were destined for e-stardom.
NUMBER THREE: "ZINE2WO"
Do you even need to read this? Well, if the title didn't intrigue you enough, then this is a link to "YouWorkForThem" blog which I've just recently found. Rockin' design, good crits, it's just a must see. So, go check it out already.
NUMBER FOUR: "Lena corwin contest: finalists+ voting!"
Lame title, but sweet first entry. Part of the reason is just because patterns rock... and when someone is creative enough to figure out how to put it on their floor it's even cooler (I'd love to credit this, but don't have a live link for the picture...anyone?). You might as well look at a couple other posts from Design*Sponge blog, they're pretty darn intersting.
NUMBER FIVE: "Hands on: Facebook redesign tries to clear the social smog"
Ok, so unless you've been living under a rock, you've heard about/seen the new Facebook design. I give it 2 thumbs up, even though many are saying it's been done before.
**That was easy huh? Please comment on other hot links of the week - bonus points if you've got an opinion about them. ~Reed
