Almost 3 years ago I posted my first tweet while on a trip to Washington DC.
Sitting in a hotel in DC about to look for some delicious Thai food.
A somewhat inane first tweet, and I’m happy to say that I did actually find that delicious Thai food.
Twitter’s early simple premise of sharing what you’re doing with friends has evolved to become a communication platform with seemingly boundless potential, which is yet to be fully realized. And that is why I’ve decided to join Twitter as part of their mobile team.
My time at LinkedIn has been filled with great successes and it was a privilege to work with some amazing people.
LittleSnapper is another tool I can’t live without. I frequently use it to capture and tag screenshots of my own work and designs from others for inspiration. Screenshot organizer, full web page capture, and non-destructive annotations make it that much superior to Mac OS X’s built-in screenshot feature.
The New York Times recently took a look at Netflix user’s movie queues based on zip code. An interesting comparison is to see how this data breaks down between the places I’ve lived, Boston, New York City, and San Francisco.
Strong commonalities between the three, but clearly Bostonians are more in it for the comedy and pop films. NYC and SF: You really loved “Rachel Getting Married” that much?
One of my essential tools while designing user interfaces for the iPhone is Live View Screencaster, which allows me to broadcast in real-time a 480×320 portion of my Mac screen to a wi-fi connected iPhone. This allows for immediate visual verification on the physical device. The app can also pass through touch events allowing for the possibility to create simple prototypes.
My friend Aaron turned me on to this app and it’s been at the top of my list of every day tools since.
Our man Rob shows off our forthcoming LinkedIn for BlackBerry app at CES:2010 in the BlackBerry booth. The mobile team is firing on all cylinders these days.
LinkedIn 3.0 for iPhone is now available on the App Store. Great work from my fellow Mobile team members. My primary role on the project was designing the user interface but I also dabbled in the code as well.
