No Ethics for Web Designers and Developers!
I recently decided to put a code of ethics on my business website. Calling it “Our Pledge”, I thought it would be a quick task that involved a few Google and Yahoo! searches. I was very wrong.
You would think a code of ethics would be a simple matter. In 2008, I fully expected to find [...]
Create your own Brand but stay in the Community
Jeffrey Zeldman, a pioneer of web standards and a longtime blogger, quite wrongly posted about the death of the personal home page.
In it, he critiques bloggers and webified folks alike for, perhaps, unwittingly giving away our content and “brand” to other third-parties.
We are witnessing the disappearance of the all-in-one, carefully designed personal site containing [...]
Everything I know is Wrong
I read Andrew Keen’s brilliant book The Cult of the Amateur over the weekend. I read it in one sitting.
