“The last time checked on Gmail’s progress was at the beginning of the year, when it seemed like it would still take at least two years for it to catch up to its nearest rivals. But so far this year, Gmail’s unique visitors grew 25 percent, while AOL’s declined 22 percent. Thus, the two crossed paths in July. (Hotmail grew only 8 percent during the same period, while Yahoo Mail increased unique visitors by a healthy 16 percent).” #gmail #aol - × × ×

Тектонические сдвиги какие-то в мире идут. "«ПрофМедиа» выпустил специальное заявление, в котором сообщил о причинах увольнения лишь то, что «работник, предъявляющий ультиматум работодателю, – это плохой работник». Работодатель – глава «ПрофМедиа» Рафаэль Акопов – для комментариев был недоступен. В отличие от работника – Осколкова-Ценципера, который рассказал Slon.ru об «иррациональных причинах» решения Акопова, находясь в Ницце. Причем рассказать ему пришлось дважды: до заявления «ПрофМедиа» и после." - × × ×

Шестнадцать глав о сценариях для кино и девять — о сериалах - × × ×

«Наоборот, если мы хотим, чтобы у нас было кино, в индустрию должно прийти как можно больше непрофессионалов. Как в двадцатые годы. Каждый раз, когда в кино приходили новые (непрофессиональные, левые, лишние) люди, кино расцветало. То же самое и в театре. Нужно не сокращать число площадок, а увеличивать. Недаром МХАТ всегда щедро разбрасывал свои лучшие силы, создавая студии, из которых вырастали враждебные театры. Идея безумная, если относиться к театру как к бизнесу, но единственно правильная, если думать об искусстве. И, конечно, должно быть не три киношколы, а тридцать. Не три учебника по сценарному мастерству, а триста. В Америке выпущены сотни учебников для сценаристов. Сотни! А у нас Митта, Червинский и Макки. Даже Сегер есть только в сетевом переводе. В кино и в театре должно быть как можно больше случайных людей.» - × × ×

“So, what can we do about the agency problem? Well, for one, I think that we’ll see an increasing number of design projects have open-ends to them. This will give the site owners flexibility to grab small amounts of time from the designers to do ongoing design maintenance, fixing smaller interaction problems that crop up over time. Second, I think more social design will be done by in-house designers. My friend Andy Budd (who co-founded the Brighton, England-based design agency Clearleft) tells me that they try to wean their clients off of them slowly by gradually pushing the work in-house. They might help the in-house design team get up to speed, but then they give them the reins going forward. This benefits both parties and seems like a good approach going forward because one-off designs aren’t well suited for software becoming more social with each passing day.” - × × ×

unclasses.org is a simple site that connects people who want to learn about a topic with those in their area who want to teach it. It’s basically a marketplace for matching interest with passion. The actual (un)classes can be whatever you want them to be. People in your area suggest things they want to learn, others join, and someone volunteers to teach. It’s that simple. (un)classes are meant to be lightweight, fun, and unconventional -- the kinds of things you can't easily learn elsewhere. Some of our favorites so far include 'shopping for yore lady', 'How to Create The Greatest Rock Song of All Time', and 'how to be a digital nomad'. The system is set up to encourage creativity and keep things informal, so the only guidelines are the standard don't be offensive or do things that are illegal. - × × ×
