RRW reviews both presidential candidate's web sites. More on McCain next week (I have a rant to share), but overall it's fantastic to see such engagement with users. Social networking on both sites? Big changes since Howard Dean used MeetUp.com to great effect.

"BMW presents GINA, a new take on car design, materials, and flexibility. The GINA replaces the traditional metal/plastic skin with a textile fabric skin that’s pulled taut around a frame of metal and carbon fiber wires. Even the shape of the car can change. Fascinating and creative design study."

Cool new site launching officially at SXSW that allows you to create your own Web comics. Very impressive interface that's a lot of fun to use and creates a pretty decent product. I'll be interested to see if they launch new design styles and elements over time. Could be very powerful. Hopefully I can meet the team in Austin!

YouTube - Microsoft iPod

This is a rip on Microsoft, but it's a fantastic look at the sad reality of what happens when you don't have confidence in your product, your user, and your team. Apple succeeds because they tend to have all three.

Why marketing should make the user manuals!

sink — Fri, 15 Sep 2006 08:36:39 PDT

Kathy asks a brilliant question: "Why do so many companies treat potential users so much better than existing users? Think about it. The brochure is a thing of beauty, while the user manual is a thing of boredom."
