The Twitter blog takes one step forward and two steps back
The Twitter blog has a brand new design and it looks pretty slick. However, it no longer shows trackbacks and/or comments for each blog post effectively losing a few years worth of data. Boo.
Twitter theme designer
The folks at Colour Lovers (we’ll excuse the U for now) have put together a really great Twitter theme designer that somehow saves directly back into your Twitter profile. I didn’t realize this was possible so perhaps they have a “deal” with Twitter? Perhaps Twitter should simply buy the app?

Designing for Big Data, by Jeffrey Veen
First of all, a note to all event holders – please take the care and time to record all of your speakers with slides like this. Web 2 Expo did a fantastic job putting these videos together and the world would be a better place if all of these tech conferences that are sprouting up [...]
