Weekly Web Roundup: The Principles Edition #23
The major news of the week was the launch of Googles new feature – Social Search. It helps you find more relevant public content from your broader social circle with the bottom of your search results displaying social networking information from your friends, like their Flickr photos or their status updates. It’s an exciting development and I can’t wait to test it out.
I’ve called this the Principles edition after the first link which was my favorite of the week as it is a fantastic in-depth article at the principles that are essential to adhere to for a great design.
