This is a fantastic read on the transformation happening in the print world.  A great view on how the iPad will give context and meaning to content, and improve the consumption of information; a game changer. “Put very simply, Formless Content is is unaware of the container. Definite Content embraces the container as a canvas. Formless content is usually only text. Definite content usually has some visual elements along with text. (via Books in the Age of the iPad)”

Pleasure and Pain » The UX Design Process for the Boxee Beta -

Defining the interface from which we manage all of our media is one of the greatest UX challenges facing designers today.  The Boxee beta is a great example of understanding the user’s goals, and making a complex task relatively painless.

I think there are still major challenges ahead for the media centers, but Plex, Boxee, and Hulu have a good handle on it, and are innovating.

Social CRM is coming If web 2.0 has taught us anything, it’s that the web is the place for social networking.  But until there is one place that personal and business information can co-exist safely, it’s hard to keep track of everything that is happening out there on the web.  Social CRM is starting to gain momentum. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and others are vying for your data, aka, your biography, friends, and status updates. But there is also a wealth of information in your day-to-day interaction spent in E-Mail, CRM, and on your smartphone. Enter Gist.com.  A tool that is attempting to consolidate the various sources of information on the people & companies that are important to you.  It’s in beta stage, but the concept is compelling. Gist will analyze your Facebook, Salesforce.com, LinkedIn, and Outlook data and more, to give you insight into your contacts.  The interface needs to mature, but with so many data sources, it’ll take some time before the dashboard is as simple to navigate as iTunes is for your media collection. Until then, I’ll keep an eye on Gist.com.  This could be an especially important tool for the sales, researcher, human resources, marketing, or others looking for a consolidated view of a person or organization.
