Facebook launches iPad App

Not officially linked from their mobile apps page but it is real. To be honest I look forward to the Android Tablet Version - but this is a start. After reading some posts from other designers it seams that also the redesigned mobile website also looks very similar on a tablet.

Missed a Tweet? When did it rain? What is IFTT?

If you follow to many people you might miss a tweet. You might point out that's the point of Twitter, to not be forced to see everything. But I often followed someone because I wanted to see the latest update. Especially now that I'm living in Google+ I will miss certain tweets. This is where http://ifttt.com/ comes to help. The "If this then that" web app is the perfect partner for this kind of tasks.

I made a recipe which monitors a specific Twitter account for any updates and sends me an email.

Another recipe I use - I created a extra calendar and IFTT makes a new entry for every day it rains - so I will have a personal records of the how many days it rained here in Vancouver - just to compare my personal impression with some facts.

Have you used iftt.com and what are your uses?

Generalist vs. Specialist

Who would you like to be, a Swiss army knife or a forged Japanese kitchen knife? Both have great "skill" sets and have been on the market a long time. In graphic design we have the same problem. Should a graphic designer become a generalist or a specialist? And as an agency who should hire?
