posabsolute··on The Facebook Timeline is creepy as hell
I think people like the author are missing the point,

I'm pretty sure 20 years old and less people really don't care about their timeline privacy and if they do, they can easily change that.

People that "care" about those issues are 25+ tech people, my mom do not care, and teens in my family reallly do not care

the new facebook features prove that facebook is really moving forward in the 'social' space and are succeeding. Google+ a threat? I don't think so, maybe for the old facebook, but not this.. I can already see all new moms going crazy about that timeline feature.

It's boring to see so much articles about how bad 'privacy' is, how creepy facebook is and etc. Seriously anyone can see that.. there is privacy if you look for it, if you don't it simply to assume that you want your profile public..

posabsolute··on How Popular is Twitter Bootstrap right now?
I think bootstrap is perfect for internal products, generally those product have low budget, and using bootstrap give you a nice design and "guidelines",

It will also consolidate all your product with one interface which is always nice.

I think it is also good for mvp, thing is, yeah as said earlier, if everyone start having project looking the same its not going to be good, and the first impression might change from wow i like this product, to ah, another twitter bootstrap project

posabsolute··on Why The Valley Wants Designers That Can Code
Well, 37signals talked about that some years ago.. I am a front-end developer with some UI skills but no design skill at all so I maybe a bit flawed but..

It all comes down to what you are looking for, I never saw a designer as good as a front-end developer doing html/css + js in real life (of course there are a couple of rockstars on the web).

They always have more a trial/error style than good code by design. Plus with web apps going more and more front-end side, you need people that do great html/css/js if you want a great working app.
