“People are spending more time inside mobile applications on average than they are on the web, according to an analysis from Flurry, a mobile analytics firm.

Flurry measures the time people spend in apps through its own direct analytics. It got numbers for the web using public data from comScore and Alexa. The analysis is somewhat imperfect, but even if you judge it solely on a directional basis you can see mobile apps are consuming more and more time.

So what are people doing in those apps? Gaming and social networking, which absorb 79% of people’s time, according to Flurry. The rest is news, entertainment, and other apps.”

A documentary created for my Capstone Senior Project thesis; “Design Is…” explores whether good or bad design exists, and if so, who determines what is considered good/bad creative. Filmed entirely in Miami, FL, the interviewees range from designers, to teachers, to engineers; they give their perspective on what they consider good design.

Featuring the Hoff himself being remarkably funny about it all.

Nice.

Long but worth watching.

Nicely done.

An app for MAC and PC that reskins Facebook to look like an Excel spreadsheet. The only question i’ve been asking myself is why no one thought of it before.

As we approach Interesting 2011 tomorrow, I thought this was a fun look back at last years.
