IDblog ... an information design weblog

More borgasmord

Here are a few links that caught my eye recently:

  • Re-UseIt. Here are the entries for the contest to redesign Jakob's useit.com. I wasn't that into this contest when it was originally announced, but what's cool about it is to see how 50+ different people approached the same task. And how really challenging it apparently must be to improve on something so originally boring.
  • Dan Saffer is doing an interaction design degree at Carnegie Mellon and blogging all about it. Thanks to classmate Chad Thornton who is a year or so ahead (and also sharing cool stuff) for the pointer.
  • Across the pond, there's a cool initiative called mySociety.org which aims "to build internet projects which have strong, real world benefits, and which do so at very low cost per person served." They have an impressive list of proposals that they've already received. Thanks to anne galloway for the pointer.
