The Apple Logo - By Rob Janoff

I love this interview with Apple logo designer, Rob Janoff. Or should I say, the designer of the 'second' Apple logo. I always enjoy reading or hearing true professionals speak about the field of design.

His thought on logos: "The main thing is to make it simple..." Couldn't agree more ;)

Love to Hate Comic Sans

"Comic Sans walks into a bar, bartender says, 'We don't serve your type.'"

I am not a fan. It was hard enough using it in the image of this post.

What do you think? Do you love it or hate it? Not care?

Vote Yay or Nay for Comic Sans here: http://twtpoll.com/po3imo

Chatstorming

Thought of a new word!

Chatstorming: brainstorming via IM

Do you come up with your best
ideas when collaborating via chat?
Do you send links, images and track
your thoughts through IM?...
You are chatstorming!

How do you social network?

I've been expanding my knowledge of Twitter this week.

Through my explorations I found a great discussion on the
Blog of Mr. Tweet (@MrTweet), a personal networking
assistant that helps people get their 'twitter-legs.'

One of the co-founders, Ming Yeow Ng (@mingyeow),
posed the question: "Are you using Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter differently?"

Great responses and dialogue ensued.

How do you social network?
