Acknowledge The Problem</h3> <p>Hindsight is 20/20 of course, so you probably know if you’re susceptible to this perfectionism overkill. It’s trying to <strong>recognize it in the moment </strong>that is an issue.</p> <p>If you try to be self-aware, you can usually tell <strong>when you’ve spent too long on something.</strong> You say things to yourself like “I should have gone home/to bed an hour/two hours ago,” “I haven’t eaten all day!” or “Just 5 more minutes and I’ll call it a night.” Then you look at the clock, it’s an hour later and you don’t really have much work to show for it.</p> <p class="recommended_top"><strong>Read Also:</strong> <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/tips-to-simplify-work-life/">8 Tips To Simplify Your Work Life</a></p> <h3>2. Save And Step Away Immediately</h3> <p>Save a version of your work, then drop the mouse, close the laptop, set aside the tablet, whatever. <strong>Just pull yourself away from your work for a while</strong>; you’re too close to it. Unless you’re on a <em>really</em> tight deadline, I’d recommend that you step away for several hours. If not take the age-old advice of sleeping on it.</p> <p>If you are on a <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/juggling-deadlines/">tight deadline</a>, <strong>do something else entirely for a period of time</strong>: Take a 20 minute walk, get a snack or a beverage, visit a co-worker, check your snail mailbox, go to the store. Get your mind <strong>into a mode other than “work, work, work”.</strong></p> <p class="recommended_top"><strong>Read Also: </strong><a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/freelance-designers-balance-work-life/">Freelance Designers: How To Balance Your Work Life</a></p> <h3>3. Reset Your Frame Of Mind</h3> <p>Come back to the project with as fresh of an attitude as you can muster and <strong>the idea that you’re <em>not</em> going to invest too much more time</strong> in this. It might help to remind yourself of other projects you haven’t been able to work on because you’ve been so tied up with this one.</p> <p>You may find after you’ve returned that you’re feeling <strong>less critical of the results you have</strong> and only need a few minor adjustments. You may also discover that you’re mentally finished with the project and ready to send it off without another thought.</p> <h3>4. Don’t Get Sucked Back In</h3> <p>Whatever you do, don’t let it tempt you again. If you’ve already recognized that you’ve spent too much time on something, you <strong>need to cut yourself off</strong>.</p> <p>Besides, you don’t know yet that your client or boss won’t love it. If you send it off, you can <strong>find out,</strong> then <strong><a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/dealing-with-criticism/">get feedback</a></strong> to either fix it or mark it a win, but you’ll never know if you just keep toiling over it hour after hour.</p> <p class="recommended_top"><strong>Read Also:</strong> <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/turn-criticism-into-inspiration/">How To Turn Criticism Into Inspiration</a></p> <h3>5. Adjust Your Behavior</h3> <p>If the pursuit of perfection has become a problem for you and you’ve recognized it, <strong>try to see it in yourself in the future and adjust your behavior</strong> (very important for step one!). Simply acknowledging such problems even exist in the first place can go a long way towards helping you solve them.</p> <h3>Conclusion</h3> <p>The compulsion to keep working on a project until it’s perfect can strike anyone, on any task, even the most experienced and confident of creative professionals.

manuscript or a book idea ready. What you want to know is <strong>what else you have to commit to before you can become an ebook author</strong>. Self-publishing is easier now than it has ever been before, making the hardest part about being an established author, figuring out what topic to write about.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/guide-create-own-ebook/ebook-publishing.jpg" alt="Ebook Publishing" height="263" width="500"></p> <p>You may want to write an ebook about <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/free-windows8-ebooks/">mastering Windows 8</a>, <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/book-photography/">understanding photography</a>, for <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/design-books-sketching-typography/">sketching or design ideas</a>, or cater the content for a particular group of people e.g. books for <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/ebooks-for-web-designers/">web designers</a>, <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/books-for-designers-developers/">developers</a>, or for <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/free-ebooks-photographers/">photographers</a>. The topic aside, writing and publishing an ebook <strong>run along a few important matters that you can’t escape from</strong>.</p> <p>We’ll look into those matters briefly in this post, from <strong>cover design to which format to publish your book in</strong>. If you have published an ebook before and have more tips to add, please accept our thanks in advance and share them in the comments section below.</p> <p class="recommended_top"><strong>Recommended Reading:</strong> <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/ebook-reader-manager/">E-Book Readers & Managers – Best Of</a></p> <h3>1. Front Matter</h3> <p><strong>Title Page:</strong> In print publishing this title page contains the title of the book, the author’s name, the place and year of publication, the publisher, and sometimes illustrations.</p> <p><strong>Copyright Page:</strong> This page contains information about your copyright notice, edition of the book (if there is more than one version), the ISBN, and illustrator’s name (if necessary). At times the title page and copyright page are combined into a single page.</p> <p><strong>Introduction:</strong> The introduction lets the author give an overview of the topic the book is about. In print publishing, this section can be broken down into several other sections, each with their own purpose:</p> <ul> <li>A <strong>dedication</strong> page records the author’s wish to dedicate the book (sometimes in a few lines, sometimes in a poem or prose) that was written to loved ones.</li> <li>A <strong>preface</strong> page – written by the author – explains how the idea for the book was perceived.</li> <li>The <strong>foreword</strong>, is a written introduction usually done by someone who is not the author but who is related to the author, topic or book version.</li> <li>The <strong>acknowledgements</strong> is where the author expresses his thanks and gratitude to informers, editors, publishers, friends and family for helping them start or finish writing the book – in novels this is sometimes placed at the end of the book.</li> </ul> <p>For ebooks, there isn’t a need to provide all of the above, just the pages that you want for your book or which you find suitable.</p> <p><strong>Table Of Contents:</strong> This page is where you <strong>list all your chapters and the relevant page number</strong>. Consider it the <strong>floor map</strong> for your book. The good thing with ebooks is that you can hyperlink the chapters so that when users tap or click on the chapter link, they are taken straight to the corresponding page.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/guide-create-own-ebook/table-of-contents.jpg" alt="Table Of Contents" width="500" height="533" /><br /> <em>(Image Source: <a rel="external" href="http://contentstrategy.com/">Content Strategy</a>)</em></p> <h3>2. Back matter (End Matter)</h3> <p>Things are not as clearcut when it comes to the back matter. If you are writing a work of fiction then you might put your <strong>Epilogue</strong> (it’s like an extra chapter which tie up loose ends) here. For any other book, generally, an <strong>Afterword</strong> (it’s like an extended <strong>Conclusion </strong>section) will do.</p> <p>All ebooks should contain a <strong>Bibliography</strong> or <strong>Reference</strong> section where all other books or contents that were cited or used for reference in the writing of the book are recorded. The details provided – author, title, publisher, year of publication, web url etc – should be able to lead readers to the listed reference, one way or another.</p> <h3>3. Body Matters</h3> <p>This is the part where most authors don’t generally have a problem with – if they do, then they shouldn’t be publishing a book in the first place. The plan is to start… with a plan. Or a topic, or issue or a general plot.</p> <p><strong>Breaking down content: </strong>Since writing a book is important both to the author and to the reader, it is essential to separate your book into sections – we usually know this as <strong>Chapters</strong>. It is also easier for readers to keep track of how far they have gone in the book.</p> <p><strong>Images:</strong> In many ebooks, images and illustrations are also as important as the written content. Ensure you <strong>use high-quality images</strong> when creating your ebook. While it doesn’t make much of a difference when viewed on screen, if a reader decides to print your ebook, high-quality images will make sure the book come out in tip-top shape. Be sure to <strong>clear copyright issues</strong> related to images and permission to use before the book is out.</p> <p class="recommended_top"><strong>Read Also: </strong><a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/ebook-into-prints/">10 Tips To Turn Your Ebook Into A Print Book</a></p> <p><strong>Writing deadline: </strong>Some authors can churn out a book per year, others take a decade just to get the characters right. Unless you work with a publisher, there really isn’t a deadline to adhere to.</p> <h3>4. Editing And Proofreading</h3> <p>This exercise needs a separate section because so many authors ignore its importance once too often. While an author can sit and churn out paragraph after paragraph and page after page, in the process they miss out on spelling errors, missing hyphens, <a rel="external" href="https://www.intelligentediting.com/onlinechecker/default.aspx">inconsistency</a> in writing, inconsistency in formatting, broken hyperlinks, wrongly captioned images, etc.</p> <p>Errors like these will <strong>disrupt the reading process</strong>, and many readers who have read edited work from print publishers will have <strong>low tolerance</strong> to these mistakes. More importantly, these mistakes <strong>will turn up with ebook reviews</strong> that these readers provide, and will affect the views of potential readers who may or may not give your book a chance.</p> <p>There are varying degrees of editing, some light, others substantive, but the trick is to find an editor who respects your work, rather than one who always has to have the final say. If you are lucky, you might find an editor who can give you constructive criticism that will help you further improve your book.</p> <p>At the very least, have a friend read through your book for you – anyone can proofread.</p> <h3>5. Cover Design & Title</h3> <p>The biggest problem a budding author has if he/she takes the self-publishing route is that there isn’t a dedicated marketing team with all the right connections to help publicize the book. <strong>Discoverability</strong> being a issue that plagues new authors, you need all the help you can get to get your book out there.</p> <p>Provided you have a budget for it, there are many <a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/out/freelancer" style="" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/out/freelancer';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">freelance</a> cover designers who can churn out a really striking and attractive cover design. There are many <strong>factors that go into determining the right cover design</strong> for your book, for example, a lot of work go into illustrating colorful and amazing-looking <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/children-book-cover-illustration/">book covers</a> for children, even those <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/beautiful-illustrated-kids-books/">catered for the iPad</a>.</p> <p class="recommended_top"><strong>Read Also: </strong><a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/really-beautiful-creative-book-covers/">15 (Really) Beautiful & Creative Book Covers</a></p> <p>If you prefer to do the cover design yourself, there are plenty of tips and advice available all over the Internet on how you can go about <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/designing-book-covers/">designing your own ebook cover</a>. Also available are <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/ebook-cover-design-resources/">tools, tutorials and Photoshop actions</a> to help you speed up cover design.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/guide-create-own-ebook/ebook-cover.jpg" alt="Ebook Cover" width="500" height="283" /><br /> <em>(Image Source: <a rel="external" href="http://www.holartbooks.com/">Hol Art Books</a>)</em></p> <p>Also as important is the <strong>title of your book</strong>. Unless you are a popular author, most readers looking for a new book to accompany them on their flight won’t give your name a second look. However, with a good cover and a catchy title <strong>with the right keywords</strong>, you might just get lucky.</p> <p class="recommended_top"><strong>Read Also: </strong><a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/designing-book-covers/">Beginner’s Guide To Book Cover Design</a></p> <h3>6. eBook Format</h3> <p>Print publishing turn raw manuscripts – handwritten or typed – into an actual printed book, and that’s it. When it comes to ebooks, however, the final format your ebook is in will determine how accessible your book is.</p> <p>The safest route is to export it to a PDF format. Most web browsers can open a PDF file without third-party apps and you can publish your ebook on multiple platforms. However, the PDF format <strong>keeps the text static</strong> and you need to do a lot of zooming to <strong>get the best reading view</strong> (based on the screen size you are on).</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/guide-create-own-ebook/pdf-vs-epub.jpg" alt="PDF vs EPUB" width="500" height="222" /><br /> <em>(Image Source: <a rel="external" href="http://www.convert-pdf-to-epub.com/">Covert PDF To Epub</a>)</em></p> <p>An alternative is the <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/read-epub-ebooks-on-firefox-chrome/">EPUB format</a> which lets you <strong>reflow the text</strong> to suit your device’s screen size. You can produce an ebook in EPUB format if you know XHTML but if you don’t, there are plenty of software that can <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/pdf-converter-apps/">convert content</a> from various formats like PDF, MOBI, LIT, LRF, DOC, HTML into EPUB.</p> <p class="recommended_top"><strong>Read Also: </strong><a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/online-file-converter-cloudconvert/">Convert More Than 100 File Types On Browser With CloudConvert</a></p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/guide-create-own-ebook/converter.jpg" alt="Converter" width="500" height="190" /></p> <p>This means that you can use Microsoft Word or <a rel="external" href="http://www.openoffice.org/download/">Open Office</a> to create your work then convert it to EPUB when it is finished. Alternatively you can work on free software like <a rel="external" href="https://code.google.com/p/sigil/">Sigil</a> which lets you write your book in EPUB format, even if you don’t know XHTML. This gives you more control over your content and makes your last-minute changes easier to manage.</p> <p class="recommended_top"><strong>Read Also: </strong><a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/self-publishing-services-for-books/">Publishing A Book – 7 Cost-Effective Self-Publishing Services</a></p> <h3>7.

Originally only available on iPad, Coast for iPhone now brings content-centric Web browsing to your pocket. </p> <p>According to Opera, the mobile version of Coast and its features have been optimized for maximum reach, given the screen estate of the iPhone. Navigation is done via gestures and swipes, with the remaining features tucked away in two menu buttons. </p> <p>Similar to Google, Coast also includes an omni-search-like recommendation for quick suggestions while you type in your search words. The iPhone version also syncs with the iPad version, provided that users have an account. </p> <p> <a href="http://download.cnet.com/Opera-Coast-web-browser/3000-2356_4-75992480.html?part=rss&subj=software&tag=embed" >Download Coast for iPhone.</a> </p> <a href="http://download.cnet.com/8301-2007_4-57620785-12/opera-releases-coast-for-iphone/?part=rss&subj=software&tag=readMore">[Read more]</a><img width='1' height='1' src='http://CNET.com.feedsportal.com/c/34938/f/645467/s/39b95610/sc/15/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505202423/u/49/f/645467/c/34938/s/39b95610/sc/15/rc/1/rc.htm" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505202423/u/49/f/645467/c/34938/s/39b95610/sc/15/rc/1/rc.img" border="0"/></a><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505202423/u/49/f/645467/c/34938/s/39b95610/sc/15/rc/2/rc.htm" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505202423/u/49/f/645467/c/34938/s/39b95610/sc/15/rc/2/rc.img" border="0"/></a><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505202423/u/49/f/645467/c/34938/s/39b95610/sc/15/rc/3/rc.htm" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505202423/u/49/f/645467/c/34938/s/39b95610/sc/15/rc/3/rc.img" border="0"/></a><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505202423/u/49/f/645467/c/34938/s/39b95610/sc/15/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505202423/u/49/f/645467/c/34938/s/39b95610/sc/15/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/195505202423/u/49/f/645467/c/34938/s/39b95610/sc/15/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/cnet/xWjr/~4/NQdCtBxrBv4" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="2" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/cnet/xWjr/~3/27NmDlhOI7M/">Modify Web image text with Project Naptha</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 24 Apr 2014 01:55 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://download.cnet.com/8301-2007_4-57620782-12/modify-web-image-text-with-project-naptha/?part=rss&subj=software&tag=image"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" src="http://i.i.cbsi.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim2/2014/04/24/napthapro2.png" alt="" /></a></div><p>In what appears to be nothing short of JavaScript black magic, Project Naptha allows you to highlight and select text from any Web images.

Not only are you juggling the tapping rhythm of Flappy Bird and the mental math of 2048, but you're also having to keep up with the strategy of Snake. Grab number boxes as you travel through the corridors, and like numbers will combine if they're next to each other. But don't let that train of boxes get too long, or you may find yourself in more trouble than you bargained for.

Whether it’s <strong>designing for varying screen sizes</strong> or <strong>offering a touch-friendly interface to consumers</strong>, mobile poses too many challenges to retailers. Designing and developing a flawless m-commerce experience requires you to think in terms of turning these limitations into opportunities.</p> <p class="recommended_top"><strong>Recommended Reading: </strong><a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/convert-websites-for-mobile-devices/">5 Services To Convert Websites For Mobile Devices</a></p> <p>Are you creating a mobile shopping site or app? Here’s a set of best practices that you should adopt when creating an m-commerce website or app that <strong>enhances the end customer’s mobile shopping experience</strong>:</p> <h3>1. Think Mobile-First</h3> <p>Most consumers merely scan through the design and visual elements on the homepage to get an idea of what the site offers. It is important to keep the mobile user in mind, when designing, instead of trying to fit all the information on your desktop site into your mobile site.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/m-commerce-tips/jimmy-choo.jpg" width="250" height="377" /></p> <p>Jimmy Choo, a luxury shoes and bags brand, makes it easy for their consumers to scan through the homepage by employing a simple layout that displays <strong>one central image followed by a list of categories below it</strong>.</p> <p>Although they have included a slider for the images, this layout helps the consumer to <strong>gauge the kind of products that they can expect to find</strong> on the website.</p> <h4>Automatic carousels are outdated</h4> <p>A crowded mobile homepage with too many visual elements, such as automatic carousels, will only confuse your consumers further. One of the key rules of interface design is that <strong>the consumer needs to be in control</strong>. Carousels go against this rule by moving too quickly with small navigation icons, if any.</p> <p>A study by Notre Dame University found that when it comes to carousels, the first slide <a href="http://weedygarden.net/2013/01/carousel-stats/">bags 84% of all clicks</a>.</p> <p class="sw"><img border="0" width="200" height="330" src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/m-commerce-tips/gap-image-slider-1.jpg" /> <img border="0" width="200" height="330" src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/m-commerce-tips/gap-image-slider-2.jpg" /><img border="0" width="200" height="330" src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/m-commerce-tips/gap-image-slider-3.jpg" /></p> <p>This is the case with GAP mobile website, where <strong>more than half of the first visible part of the homepage displays a slider</strong> that rotates between five different offers. Most consumers find this very frustrating as there are high chances that they might click on a promotional image <strong>only to be taken to a different one</strong>.</p> <p>Therefore, it is <strong>always advisable to use <em>one</em> static image</strong>. This helps the consumer to stay focused on the action plan. If you must opt for an image slider, go for one that does not move automatically.</p> <p class="sw"><img border="0" width="250" height="389" src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/m-commerce-tips/anthropologie-mobile-prominent-image.jpg" /></p> <p>Anthropologie, a multi-channel lifestyle brand, for example, employs a <strong>simple layout with one prominent image at the centre</strong>. They have taken special care to note that the image included ideally lets consumers <strong>know what to expect on the website</strong>. In this case, it revolves around luxury clothing, shoes and accessories.</p> <p class="recommended_top"><strong>Read Also: </strong><a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/jquery-image-galleries-sliders-best-of/">JQuery Image Galleries & Sliders – Best Of</a></p> <h4>Custom UI Drop-Down Menus For Navigation</h4> <p>Most consumers prefer to scroll up and down the category list to get a good idea of what their options are, even if they found what they were looking for right away. And it is due to this strong tendency that <strong>native pull-down menus are a poor choice for navigation</strong>.</p> <p class="sw"><img border="0" width="500" height="340" src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/m-commerce-tips/best-buy-native-ui-dropdown.jpg" alt="Description: oie_2714346WNkasHor.png" /></p> <p>Best Buy, for instance earlier employed a similar native UI drop-down menu. With only half of the screen used to display the available options, most consumers found it <strong>difficult to scroll through, scan and compare</strong> the available options.</p> <p>A custom UI drop-down on the other hand, gives the consumer a better overview of their options. The current Best Buy mobile website employs a similar custom UI drop-down to provide their consumers with a better overview of their options. For example, when a consumer clicks on a particular category say ‘Weekly Deals’, it <strong>loads a new page</strong>, instead of displaying it in a small dialog box.</p> <p class="sw"><img border="0" width="200" height="340" src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/m-commerce-tips/best-buy.jpg" alt="Description: 1.Employ custom UI drop-down menus for navigation-2.png.png" /><img border="0" width="200" height="340" src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/m-commerce-tips/navigation-menu-best-buy.jpg" /><img border="0" width="200" height="340" src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/m-commerce-tips/custom-ui-drop-down-best-buy-mobile.jpg" /></p> <p>Then again, if yours is an e-Commerce site with <strong>fewer parent and sibling categories</strong> like Dune London, then you could opt for <strong>progressive disclosure</strong> (right) to show the sibling categories directly on the homepage, as and when the user requests it.</p> <p class="sw"><img border="0" width="250" height="360" src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/m-commerce-tips/navigation-menu-dune-london.jpg" /><img border="0" width="250" height="360" src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/m-commerce-tips/dune-london-sibling-categories.jpg" alt="Description: oie_2714711YAgzeMfs.png" /></p> <p class="recommended_top"><strong>Read Also: </strong><a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/breadcrumb-navigation-examined-best-practices-examples/">Breadcrumb Navigation Examined: Best Practices & Examples</a></p> <h3>2. Use Intuitive mobile UI to enhance Purchases</h3> <p>Consumers often want to view a previously visited product. The reasons could vary from wanting to <strong>compare two products</strong>, to checking whether certain features of a previously viewed product are compatible with the new one. Many a time consumers end up having to search for it by<strong> going through the categories all over again</strong>.</p> <p class="sw"><img border="0" width="250" height="400" src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/m-commerce-tips/product-page-asos.jpg" /> <img border="0" width="250" height="400" src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/m-commerce-tips/asos-recently-viewed-items-product-page.jpg" /></p> <p>ASOS, a U.K based fashion and beauty online store, makes it easy for consumers to return to a previously visited item (without repeatedly clicking on the ‘Back’ button) by <strong>displaying a list of ‘Recently Viewed’ products</strong> on their product page. It also <strong>encourages consumers to explore</strong> other items by assuring them that finding products again won’t be a hassle.</p> <p class="recommended_top"><strong>Read Also: </strong><a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/responsive-web-nav/">How To Create A Responsive Navigation</a></p> <h4>Be Touch friendly</h4> <p>With the small screen areas on most mobile devices, clicking on an exact element on the screen can often be difficult. To make it easier for consumers to tap, there should be <strong>sufficient space between the different touch elements</strong> within your content. It is advisable to keep <strong>touch elements</strong> at <strong>7×7 mm</strong> size visually, while maintaining the <strong>separators</strong> between touch elements at <strong>2×2 mm</strong> size.</p> <p>You could also refer to the guidelines provided by different mobile platforms to decide on the size of the touch targets to be used. It is equally important to <strong>keep complete units clickable</strong>, while ensuring that they <strong>do not span the entire viewport</strong>.</p> <p class="recommended_top"><strong>Read Also: </strong><a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/designing-for-mobile-devices/">A Look Into: Designing For Mobile Devices</a></p> <h3>3. Choose Information Architecture wisely</h3> <p>When consumers are unable to find a sibling-category where they expect, they often conclude that the website doesn’t sell that particular product. To avoid this you should add the subcategory under multiple parent categories. Here’s an example.</p> <p class="sw"><img border="0" width="250" height="420" src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/m-commerce-tips/amazon-same-sibling-multiple-parent-categories-2.jpg" /><img border="0" width="250" height="418" src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/m-commerce-tips/amazon-same-sibling-multiple-parent-categories.jpg" /></p> <p>Amazon’s mobile website for instance, lists <strong>headphones </strong>as a<strong> sibling-category</strong> under both ‘Mobiles & Tablets’ and ‘Audio & Video’. This further increases the chances of consumers discovering the product they were in search of.</p> <p class="recommended_top"><strong>Read Also: </strong><a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/navigation-design-ideas-inspiration/">Designing A Winning Navigation Menu: Ideas And Inspirations</a></p> <p>Including ‘New’ as a separate parent category is particularly useful in industries where the <strong>recentness of a product could have a major impact</strong> on the consumers’ purchase decision. For example, the Dune London mobile website helps frequent visitors by including parent categories such as <strong>NEW IN</strong> to let them quickly scan through the new products that have arrived since their last visit.</p> <p class="sw"><img border="0" width="250" height="396" src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/m-commerce-tips/navigation-menu-dune-london.jpg" /></p> <p>Then again, as seen on the mobile website of Fallen Hero, a British based online fashion store, it is always <strong>best to employ ‘New’ as a filter</strong>, rather than a separate category as it helps consumers to <strong>view new items within a particular category</strong>.</p> <p class="sw"><img border="0" width="250" height="425" src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/m-commerce-tips/fallen-hero-filter-category.jpg" /></p> <p>Other categorization techniques that work well are ‘Customer Favourites’, ‘Best Sellers’, ‘Sale’ and so on. These customer recommendations will <strong>not only make shoppers more confident</strong> about their purchase decisions but also <strong>define your brand</strong> in their minds.</p> <p>It goes without saying that m-commerce brings along numerous opportunities. Not only does it enable online stores to distinguish themselves from competitors but also <strong>helps them position themselves well enough</strong> to grab a share of this billion-dollar market.</p> <h3>Further Reading</h3> <p>Here are some more reading materials related to developing for a mobile user experience:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/designing-for-mobile-devices/">A Look Into: Designing For Mobile Devices</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/build-websites-apps-jquery-mobile/">Mobile App Design/Dev: Beginner’s Guide To JQuery Mobile</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/responsive-for-mobile-screens/">Responsive Web Layouts For Mobile Screens: Intro, Tips And Examples</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/mobile-optimized-website/">7 Tips To Better Mobile-Optimized Websites</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/mobile-web-design/">Mobile Web Design: 10 Tips To Better Usability</a></li> </ul> <p>And if you need inspiration or resources, these links may be able to help:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/design-mobile-app-sites/">Design Killer Mobile App Websites: Tips And Examples</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/mobile-app-ui/">20 Beautiful Mobile User Interface For Your Inspiration</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/mobile-app-landing-pages/">20 Gorgeous Mobile App Landing Pages</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/flat-mobile-ui/">20 Flat Mobile UI Designs For Your Inspiration</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/webapp-design-resources/">Ultimate Resources For Mobile Web Application Design</a></li> </ul> <div class='yarpp-related-rss'> <p>Related posts:<ol> <li><a href='http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/ecommerce-website-tips/' rel='bookmark' title='5 Tips To Creating A More Usable E-Commerce Site'>5 Tips To Creating A More Usable E-Commerce Site</a></li> <li><a href='http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/holiday-shopping-online-stores/' rel='bookmark' title='Holiday Shopping: 60 Biggest Online Stores From 30 Countries'>Holiday Shopping: 60 Biggest Online Stores From 30 Countries</a></li> <li><a href='http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/taobao-shopping-guides/' rel='bookmark' title='Shopping at Taobao: 8 Things You Need To Know'>Shopping at Taobao: 8 Things You Need To Know</a></li> <li><a href='http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/professionally-looking-ecommerce-web-design/' rel='bookmark' title='30 Professional Looking e-Commerce Sites For Your Inspiration'>30 Professional Looking e-Commerce Sites For Your Inspiration</a></li> </ol></p> </div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://rss.feedsportal.com/c/35261/f/656072/s/39b65732/sc/4/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505192463/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/39b65732/sc/4/rc/1/rc.htm" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505192463/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/39b65732/sc/4/rc/1/rc.img" border="0"/></a><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505192463/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/39b65732/sc/4/rc/2/rc.htm" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505192463/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/39b65732/sc/4/rc/2/rc.img" border="0"/></a><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505192463/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/39b65732/sc/4/rc/3/rc.htm" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505192463/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/39b65732/sc/4/rc/3/rc.img" border="0"/></a><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505192463/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/39b65732/sc/4/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505192463/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/39b65732/sc/4/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/195505192463/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/39b65732/sc/4/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/24thfloor/~4/MkzR51Dfids" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="2" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://rss.feedsportal.com/c/35261/f/656072/s/39b56fcf/sc/4/l/0L0Shongkiat0N0Cblog0Cchanging0Efaces0Eof0Eweb0Edesign0E250Eyears0C/story01.htm">Changing The Face Of Web Design: A Case Study Of 25 Years</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 24 Apr 2014 06:01 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><p><strong>Editor’s note</strong>: This is a contributed post by <strong>Dmitri</strong>, founder of <a href="http://newdesigngroup.ca/">New Design Group Inc</a> in Toronto, a web design company focused on defining effective branding strategies for a variety of businesses and delivering imaginative solutions that work.

No longer do we have to put up with endless clunky text and low-resolution images. Today’s <strong>informative, innovative and easy-to-navigate websites</strong> are so commonplace that you’ve probably forgotten what websites looked like back in the 1990′s.</p> <p>So, let’s take a look at the websites of three major brands, <a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/classic-pictures-giant-tech-companies/">how it was back then</a> and how they look now, to exactly how web design has changed over the years. The journey that they’ve gone through may lead to some inspiration for your own <a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/web-design-scrolling/">website design adventures</a>.</p> <p class="recommended_top"><strong>Recommended Reading:</strong> <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/web-design-trends-2014/">Web Design – 20 Hottest Trends To Watch Out For In 2014</a></p> <h3>Apple</h3> <p>We take a look at Apple’s main page designs through the decades, courtesy of the <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/19961022105458/http://www.apple.com/">Wayback Machine.</a></p> <h4><strong>1997</strong></h4> <p>In its favour, the Apple web design in 1997 included the logo, provided succinct information, and had a clear navigation bar on the left hand side. However, it <strong>didn’t have the flair we associate with Apple today</strong>; the font is very basic, the sidebar takes up a lot of space and distracts the viewer, and the overall design is crowded.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/changing-faces-of-web-design-25-years/Photo-1.jpg" alt="" height="775" width="600"><br /> <em>(Image Source: <a rel="external" href="http://web.archive.org/web/19961022105458/http://www.apple.com/">web.archive.org</a>)</em></p> <h4>1999 – 2002</h4> <p>Then, Apple created<strong> a professional web homepage design </strong>that was so simplistically memorable it <strong>formed</strong> <strong>the basis of all future designs</strong>. It featured an eye-catching banner photo supplemented by a few select images below. Each and every one of these used white space to the maximum effect, whether it was of the latest product or a satisfied client. A simple top navigation bar helped vistors find their favourite product easily.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/changing-faces-of-web-design-25-years/Photo-2.jpg" alt="" height="235" width="600"></p> <h4>2003 – 2006</h4> <p>During this time, the clean design remained but Apple <strong>started to deviate with a black background</strong> as well. Either way, the stark backgrounds of the homepages showcased the products very effectively. And the use of <strong>quirky one liners</strong>, such as “Introducing Mighty Mouse” reflected Apple’s daring nature.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/changing-faces-of-web-design-25-years/Photo-3.jpg" alt="" height="176" width="600"></p> <h4>2007 – 2010</h4> <p>The 2007 homepage design<strong> got rid of the lower sections altogether</strong> – no doubt so that the mobile phone could create an even bigger impact. This continued in 2008 and 2009, but when the iPad was introduced in 2010, the majority of the homepage was devoted to Apple’s newest baby.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/changing-faces-of-web-design-25-years/Photo-4.jpg" alt="" height="151" width="600"></p> <h4>2011 – 2013</h4> <p>The main design elements haven’t changed at all. The<strong> 2013 web design for the iPad Air </strong>does deserve a special mention however – when a product’s unique selling point is its thinness, what better way to show this to the world than with this <strong>unusually angled image</strong>?</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/changing-faces-of-web-design-25-years/Photo-5.jpg" alt="" height="198" width="600"></p> <h4>Now</h4> <p>Today’s web design is <strong>still based on the simple approach used since the late 90′s</strong>. The main photo is compelling but no longer is the product shown in isolation and is instead shown in the hands of real people. The font is modern and the limited colour palette of complementary colours looks <strong>highly professional</strong>.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/changing-faces-of-web-design-25-years/Photo-6.jpg" alt="" height="331" width="600"></p> <p>The navigation bar is now firmly fixed at the top of the page to make navigation simple. In addition to using<strong> clever words to encourage click throughs</strong> (“<em>What will your verse be?</em>”), the four bottom sections show the visitor exactly what information can be found within them, accessible with a simple click.</p> <h4>What did they do well? </h4> <p>Instead of focusing on the hard sell, they <strong>focus more on people’s emotions</strong> and the concept of inclusive <a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/emotion-through-storytelling/">story telling</a>. Web designers who want to create a similar impact with their new websites should <strong>showcase their products using real people</strong>. The more customers can imagine themselves using the product, and can see how it will benefit their lifestyle, the more likely they are to purchase it.</p> <h3>GAP</h3> <p>Next up, we look at another major brand, this time in the fashion industry.</p> <h4>1997</h4> <p>Hats off to the designers for getting a clear message acros<strong>s</strong> through their design. The top navigation bar, instead of a sidebar, gives more space to showcase the products, and the<strong> overall look is clean and simple</strong>.</p> <p>On the downside though, the web designers’ brief was probably to <strong>really emphasise that customers could purchase their favourite GAP clothes online</strong> as indicated by the logo appearing twice, and the phrases ‘online store’ and ‘shop online’ being crammed into one small homepage.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/changing-faces-of-web-design-25-years/Photo-7.jpg" alt="" height="474" width="600"><br /><em>(Image Source: <a rel="external" href="https://twitter.com/GapInc/status/376039247808978944/photo/1">twitter.com</a>)</em> </p> <h4>2000 – 2009</h4> <p>By 2000, the web design evolved for the better. It was <strong>clearly branded with the GAP logo</strong> with the use of an <strong>attractive main image </strong>and a <strong>modest navigation bar</strong> at the top. But let’s keep an eye on the navigation bar as time goes forward.</p> <p>In 2004, the main image worked well as did the GAP logo, now<strong> encapsulated in a bright blue box to give it more prominence</strong>. But where were the navigation options? Right at the bottom via click-through links. Definitely a step backwards.</p> <p>The navigation bar was back at the top of the homepage in 2006. The company now supplied <strong>clothes for kids</strong> illustrated by the use of child models in the photos. Beneath the main banner photo were <strong>4 different sections</strong> promoting a variety of incentives. Unfortunately, the design of each didn’t showcase any connection, leading to a <strong>messy and confusing mix</strong>, which isn’t easy on the eyes.</p> <p class="s450-550"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/changing-faces-of-web-design-25-years/Photo-8.jpg" alt="" height="743" width="600"></p> <p>In 2009, t<strong>he main navigation options</strong> were cunningly placed in a completely new location – <strong>within the main image</strong>. Whilst we applaud innovative design, <strong>the majority of customers expect to navigate from the edges of a homepage</strong> – commonly via bars at the top or less frequently, to the left.</p> <p>The more difficult it is for the customer to find what they want, the more likely they are to bounce off the website.</p> <h4>2010 – 2012 </h4> <p>GAP finally got the hang of it by 2010. The navigation bar was firmly at the top of the page and has stayed there ever since. The 2010 homepage was also a huge improvement as it used a <strong>really eye-catching </strong>and<strong> well-designed collage of fashionable models</strong>.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/changing-faces-of-web-design-25-years/Photo-9.jpg" alt="" height="355" width="600"></p> <p>Perhaps <strong>the use of more images</strong> on the homepage was a hit with visitors as this persisted in the web designs of 2011 and 2012. However, both of these fell horribly short of target. There was <strong>no clear strategy in the overall design</strong>, the photos didn’t gel together and the variety of colors were overwhelming.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/changing-faces-of-web-design-25-years/Photo-10.jpg" alt="" height="1104" width="600"></p> <h4>Now</h4> <p>It seems that GAP has finally taken stock of all its previous efforts and created a website that has a range of great design elements in one pleasing homepage. This website is <strong>designed to appeal to the younger generation with its urban feel and choice of main image</strong>. The words ‘LIVED IN’ is interestingly split into three parts which captures the visitor’s attention.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/changing-faces-of-web-design-25-years/Photo-11.jpg" alt="" height="604" width="600"></p> <p>The navigation bar is still at the top of the page providing an easy shortcut to each type of clothing and the search function allows the visitor to find what they really want. The shopping bag sits on the top right hand corner, making it easier for customers to plan their purchase(s), as they move from page to page.</p> <h4>What did they do well? </h4> <p>GAP has gone through a host of web designs to be where it is today, but now designers of e-commerce websites could well follow this example to create an user-friendly online purchasing experience. It’s<strong> not always about showing the product from every angle; clever use of lifestyle photos can help the visitor</strong> imagine how the product will enhance their life.</p> <h3>Heineken</h3> <p>Lastly, lt’s see how Heineken fairs in web design branding. Images retrieved from <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/19970206003328/http://www.heineken.com/ ">Wayback Machine</a>.</p> <h4>1997</h4> <p>The website <strong>works well in terms of branding and being eye-catching</strong> but by offering the website visitor a huge amount of buttons and options, they most likely caused confusion as to what customers should do next. There is <strong>no clear navigation</strong>, way too many fonts, and frankly, the ones superimposed directly on the water droplets are hard to read.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/changing-faces-of-web-design-25-years/Photo-12.jpg" alt="" height="318" width="600"></p> <h4>2010 – 2012</h4> <p>By 2010, the Heineken web design had reached the heights of perfection we associate with it today. At first glance, the homepage seems simple but the <strong>dark green background uses an effective mix of geometrical shapes and an interesting condensation-drenched star</strong> alongside the beer bottle recognised the world over. Today’s trend for very simple navigation buttons was apparent even then, each supplemented by a visual icon.</p> <p><span class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/changing-faces-of-web-design-25-years/Photo-13.jpg" alt="" height="944" width="600" /></span></p> <p>The web designs of 2011 and 2012 follow the same formula of clarity. But they also introduced Heineken’s innovative approach of<strong> using videos and association to high-profile movies</strong> to help sell more beer!</p> <h4>Now</h4> <p>Each and every page on this website are superbly designed using some great, unique fonts, and thankfully the Heineken green has been continuously toned down since the 1997 version. <strong>The web pages are so uncluttered, they are positively minimalistic</strong>.</p> <p>This is then complemented by the several videos featured in their web design – a moving image can tell a thousand words. Instead of a regular drop down navigation bar with options, a thumbnail image of each item is shown instead making it more fun.</p> <h4>What did they do well?</h4> <p>The overall design is modern, lively and bound to appeal to 20 something’s as much as Heineken-loving 60 something’s. The <strong>videos fit in perfectly with today’s social media madness</strong> and are more likely to be shared, increasing brand recognition across the world.</p> <h3>Web design Then</h3> <p>From the earlier examples, back in the 90′s, even the biggest companies’ websites appeared amateurish, poorly designed and a far cry from today’s sophisticated web designs. This can be explained by the fact that <strong>web designers faced far more technological limitations 25 years ago</strong> such as ridiculously slow internet and limited font options as well as <strong>insufficient data about what made a website experience pleasurable for the visitor</strong>.</p> <h4>web design trends That Died Out</h4> <p>As web designers gain more tools at their disposal to create more sophisticated and professional-looking websites, some trends couldn’t survive the conditions and has since faded from use. These include:</p> <p><strong>1. Flash animation</strong> – Flash animation on a homepage may be considered dynamic a few years ago but visitors got bored. Flash animation looks cheap and tacky, website visitors don’t like it, and search engine optimization is made trickier when the home page has a flash intro. It’s not for modern website design.</p> <p><strong>2. Background Music</strong> – Wonderful beats and ballads, great idea. Jingles that jangle with the nerves, not so much (the 90′s users would know how this feels). Silence is golden when it comes to today’s web design.</p> <p><strong>3. Excessive Content</strong> – Some companies felt their website require plenty of pages explaining in fine detail about their company, their philosophy and their products. Truth is, too much info can be confusing and be downright annoying – most of us just want the bare facts. In 2014, <a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/clean-simple-minimalist-website-design/">minimalistic design</a>, and the use of <a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/colourized-historical-photos/">photos</a> and <a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/free-high-quality-android-icons/">icons</a> replace text-heavy pages.</p> <h3>What Works Today</h3> <p>Today’s most popular and effective websites are truly<strong> captivating and memorable</strong>, often <strong>using evocative images or plenty of humour</strong>. They are well-structured and encourage the visitor to make a purchase at every turn. Every website should follow <a href="http://www.newdesigngroup.ca/web-design/website-design-toronto/">some basic rules</a> to help it get closer to perfection. But if web designers really want to keep up with the times, here are some essential key elements:</p> <p><strong>1. Fixed navigation bars</strong> – These might be a fairly new trend but they make complete sense. The visitor can browse to their heart’s content and never lose sight of where they are.</p> <p><strong>2. Unique font</strong> – Using an unusual or unique font can really help a website sell its message. Web designers shouldn’t settle for the same-old ones when <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/free-fonts-for-commercial-personal-use/">new and exciting fonts await.</a></p> <p><strong>3. Sliders</strong> – The trend for sliding banner photos is a great one. Each image is large and can really impress the visitor. And as the images automatically change, the viewer is treated to a range of great visuals without having to do a thing.</p> <p><strong>4. Personalized Photos</strong> – Unless absolutely necessary, web designers should avoid stock photos and opt for <a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/photography-portfolios-blogs/">personalised professional photos</a> to do the website justice and make it more unique.</p> <p><strong>5. Call-To-Action buttons</strong>- Why settle for boring ‘Contact Us’ buttons when there are a <a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/call-to-action-button-templates/">wealth of interesting buttons</a> to choose from? The more captivating the button, the more likely the visitor is to click on it.</p> <p><strong>6. Infinite scroll / card designs</strong> – Pinterest may have lead the way with this type of web design, but it is being embraced by many companies, as it is a great way to present individual nuggets of information.</p> <p><strong>7. Flat design vs skeuomorphism</strong> – Whether you prefer the <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/flat-design-resources/">flat design</a> so loved by Microsoft (think minimalistic simple icons) or skeuomorphism, which uses more traditional 3D effects, the great news is that both are trending right now.</p> <p><strong>8. Web ribbons</strong>- Love them or hate them, these 3D ribbons, designed to hug an information box or photo, just look nice and give a professional finish to any design</p> <p class="recommended_top"><strong>Recommended Reading: </strong><a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/web-design-trends-2014/">Web Design: 20 Hottest Trends To Watch Out For In 2014</a>.</p> <h3>Conclusion</h3> <p>Web designers should also bear in mind the most ingenious and important shift in web design over the past quarter of a century, which is <strong>making the website experience as pleasurable as possible</strong>. With a lot of <a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/identity-branding-designs/">brands competing against each other</a>, websites imparting simple facts no longer cut it.</p> <p>Nowadays, the most popular websites are those that <strong>entertain or amaze</strong> whilst providing relevant information. The web designs of Apple, Gap and Heineken illustrate this innovative approach perfectly. 25 years of the World Wide Web has taken web design to heights that were never considered a possibility back in 1989. And who knows how far website design will soar over the next 25 years!</p> <p><strong>Have an opinion on the subject?

Well, recently a new phone is making its debut, shaking up the industry, as we have come to know it. That phone is the <a rel="external" href="http://oneplus.net/one">OnePlus One</a>.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/everything-about-oneplus-one/oneplus-one.jpg" alt="OnePlus One" width="500" height="346" /></p> <p>The <a rel="external" href="http://oneplus.net/one">OnePlus One</a> is a 5.5" smartphone by OnePlus, a new start-up producer of smartphones, based in Hong Kong and Shenzen. It is founded by Pete Lau, previously VP at Chinese electronics firm, OPPO. The OnePlus One comes with a spec list that <strong>can rival even the very best phones soon to be released by the likes of Samsung and HTC</strong>.</p> <p>While it is not as revolutionary as Project Ara, it is still a phone that <strong>combines top-tier, flagship-level specifications with a decidedly mid-range price</strong>. In this post, we will pitch its specs against those of higher-range Android phones, namely the Nexus 5, HTC One M8 and Samsung Galaxy S5, just to give you an idea of why OnePlus One is currently making headlines.</p> <p class="recommended_top"><a href="#table">Skip right to the end for a table of comparison</a>.</p> <h3>Hardware Specifications</h3> <p>The OnePlus One packs hardware that rivals that of much more expensive smartphones. Here’s a quick look at some of the key specifications of the One, in terms of processing power, RAM, storage, battery capacity, and speaker and microphone replacement.</p> <h4>Processor</h4> <p>The OnePlus One is powered by a state-of-the-art Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 <strong>quad-core processor running at 2.5GHz</strong>, with integrated <strong>multi-mode 4G connectivity</strong> – no need to worry about LTE bands – and a powerful <strong>Adreno 330 graphics processing unit</strong> (GPU).</p> <ul> <li><strong>Nexus 5</strong> – Qualcomm Snapdragon 800, Quad-core 2.3 GHz, Adreno 330 GPU</li> <li><strong>HTC One M8</strong> – Qualcomm Snapdragon 801, Quad-core 2.3 GHz (US/EMEA)/ 2.5 GHz (Asia, China), Adreno 330 GPU</li> <li><strong>Samsung Galaxy S5</strong> – Qualcomm Snapdragon 801, Quad-core 2.5 GHz, Adreno 330 GPU</li> <li><strong>OnePlus One</strong> – Qualcomm Snapdragon 801, Quad-core 2.5 GHz, Adreno 330 GPU</li> </ul> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/everything-about-oneplus-one/processor.jpg" alt="OnePlus One Hardware" width="500" height="398" /></p> <h4>RAM And Storage</h4> <p>The One comes with <strong>3GB of LP-DDR3 RAM</strong>, and has a <strong>16GB version </strong>and a<strong> 64GB version</strong>. Both versions use the new, high-performance EMMC 5.0 for fast reading and writing of data.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Nexus 5</strong> – 16/32 GB, 2 GB RAM, no microSD support</li> <li><strong>HTC One M8</strong> – 16/32 GB, 2 GB RAM, microSD (up to 128 GB)</li> <li><strong>Samsung Galaxy S5</strong> – 16/32 GB storage, 2 GB RAM, microSD (up to 128 GB)</li> <li><strong>OnePlus One</strong> – 16/64 GB, 3 GB RAM, no microSD support</li> </ul> <h4>Battery Capacity</h4> <p>The One’s unremovable Li-Po battery has a <strong>3100 mAh capacity</strong>. To improve battery life, the OnePlus One implements <strong>content-adaptive backlight control</strong> (CABC) and <strong>Display RAM</strong> (DRAM) technologies to reduce the amount of power consumed by the screen.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Nexus 5</strong> – Non-removable Li-Po 2300 mAh battery</li> <li><strong>HTC One M8</strong> – Non-removable Li-Po 2600 mAh battery</li> <li><strong>Samsung Galaxy S5</strong> – Li-Ion 2800 mAh battery</li> <li><strong>OnePlus One</strong> – Non-removable Li-Po 3100 mAh battery</li> </ul> <p class="s450-550"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/everything-about-oneplus-one/battery.jpg" alt="Battery" height="349" width="500" /></p> <h3>Design</h3> <p>The OnePlus One goes for a very <strong>sleek and minimalist look</strong> overall, especially noticeable in the lack of any branding on the front of the phone. It is available in two colors: <strong>Silk White (16GB)</strong> and <strong>Sandstone Black (64GB)</strong>.</p> <h4>Size And Weight</h4> <p>The phone measures <strong>152.9 x 75.9 x 8.9mm</strong> and weighs in at <strong>160 g</strong>. The back of the phone is curved, with a taper of 4.6mm which the company claims will make it easier to grip.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Nexus 5</strong> – 137.9 x 69.2 x 8.6 mm (5.43 x 2.72 x 0.34 in), 130 g (4.59 oz)</li> <li><strong>HTC One M8</strong> – 146.4 x 70.6 x 9.4 mm (5.76 x 2.78 x 0.37 in), 160 g (5.64 oz)</li> <li><strong>Samsung Galaxy S5</strong> – 142 x 72.5 x 8.1 mm (5.59 x 2.85 x 0.32 in), 145 g (5.11 oz)</li> <li><strong>OnePlus One</strong> – 152.9 x 75.9 x 8.9 mm (6.02 x 2.99 x 0.35 in), 162 g (5.71 oz)</li> </ul> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/everything-about-oneplus-one/design.jpg" alt="OnePlus One Design" width="500" height="500" /></p> <h4>Screen</h4> <p>The screen is a <strong>5.5" 1080p full HD display</strong> with Low-Temperature Polysilicon (LTPS) technology for a sharper image, like the Samsung Galaxy S5. The screen also uses Touch On Lens (TOL) technology, which <strong>improves touch response and shatter resistance</strong>, and is protected by <strong>Corning’s Gorilla Glass 3</strong> technology (standard in most contemporary smartphones).</p> <ul> <li><strong>Nexus 5</strong> – 1080 x 1920 pixels, 4.95 inches (~445 ppi pixel density)</li> <li><strong>HTC One M8</strong> – 1080 x 1920 pixels, 5.0 inches (~441 ppi pixel density)</li> <li><strong>Samsung Galaxy S5</strong> – 1080 x 1920 pixels, 5.1 inches (~432 ppi pixel density)</li> <li><strong>OnePlus One</strong> – 1080 x 1920 pixels, 5.5 inches (~401 ppi pixel density)</li> </ul> <h4>Speaker And Microphone Placement</h4> <p>The OnePlus One has <strong>two stereo speakers</strong> situated at the bottom of the phone for better audio quality. The speakers are situated too close to each other to provide accurate stereo imaging, but it should still be better than the common monaural speaker on most smartphones. It also has three microphones for <strong>better noise cancelling</strong> and <strong>stereo recording</strong>.</p> <p class="s450-550"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/everything-about-oneplus-one/speaker-microphone.jpg" alt="Speaker And Microphone Placement" height="370" width="500" /></p> <h4>Interchangeable Covers</h4> <p>Like the Moto X and Moto G, the OnePlus One will support interchangeable back covers, called StyleSwap covers. These will come in a variety of materials and textures on top of the standard silk and sandstone finishes, including kevlar, bamboo and denim.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/everything-about-oneplus-one/styleswap-covers.jpg" alt="StyleSwap Covers" width="500" height="297" /></p> <h3>Camera</h3> <p>As with any smartphone worth its salt these days, the OnePlus One will have both <strong>front- and rear-facing cameras</strong>. The front-facing camera is a <strong>5 megapixel lens with an 80 degree viewing angle</strong>, which should be great for squeezing in an extra person or two if you’re particularly fond of group selfies.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/everything-about-oneplus-one/camera.jpg" alt="OnePlus One Camera" width="500" height="344" /></p> <p>The rear camera is a <strong>13 megapixel Sony Exmor IMX214</strong> with a large <strong>f/2.0 apeture</strong> coupled with a <strong>fast 0.3-second shutter speed</strong>. The camera is made up of six physical lenses to increase detail and reduce distortion. It also comes with <strong>image stabilization </strong>and<strong> slow-motion recording</strong> at 720p, and can <strong>record 4K video</strong>.</p> <p>The One also has a <strong>dual LED flash</strong> for improved flash photography. That said, the One’s camera setup is quite standard, and we won’t see anything like the HTC One M8′s Duo Camera setup.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Nexus 5</strong> – 8 MP, 3264 x 2448 pixels, autofocus, optical image stabilization, LED flash</li> <li><strong>HTC One M8</strong> – Dual 4 MP, 2688 x 1520 pixels, autofocus, dual-LED (dual tone) flash</li> <li><strong>Samsung Galaxy S5</strong> – 16 MP, 5312 x 2988 pixels, phase detection autofocus, LED flash</li> <li><strong>OnePlus One</strong> – 13 MP, 4128 x 3096 pixels, autofocus, dual-LED flash</li> </ul> <h3>Operating System</h3> <p>The OnePlus One runs Android, but it’s probably <strong>not the Android operating system you’re familiar with</strong>. It runs a custom variant of Android, CyanogenMod, which makes it only the <strong>second CyanogenMod smartphone</strong> in the market, after the Oppo N1 CyanogenMod Edition.</p> <p>However the OnePlus One goes a step further than the Oppo N1 by running a <strong>tweaked variant of CyanogenMod</strong>. Dubbed CyanogenMod 11S, the CyanogenMod install you’ll experience on the One will feature a <strong>flat and minimalistic UI</strong> complete with <strong>custom themes and icons</strong> designed specifically for the device.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/everything-about-oneplus-one/cyanogenmod-11s.jpg" alt="CyanogenMod 11S" width="500" height="444" /></p> <p>CyanogenMod 11S also has some features that you won’t get in a standard CyanogenMod 11 installation. OnePlus also claim that the One will <strong>receive OS updates for at least two years</strong>.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Nexus 5</strong> – Stock Android 4.4 KitKat, updateable to 4.4.2</li> <li><strong>HTC One M8</strong> – Android 4.4.2 KitKat with Sense 6.0 UI</li> <li><strong>Samsung Galaxy S5</strong> – Android 4.4.2 KitKat with TouchWiz UI</li> <li><strong>OnePlus One</strong> – CyanogenMod 11S, based on Android 4.4.2 KitKat</li> </ul> <h3>Software Features</h3> <p>The OnePlus One, by virtue of its custom CyanogenMod 11S operating system, manages to bring a <strong>unique user experience</strong> that differs not just from stock Android, but also from the custom CyanogenMod ROM that it’s built on. Here are some of the more interesting differences.</p> <h4>Software Improvements</h4> <p>The OnePlus One benefits from most of features you’ll find in a standard CyanogenMod build, including <strong>SMS encryption, app privacy guard</strong>, a file manager, audio equalizer and improved camera application.</p> <p>There are also a few CyanogenMod 11S-specific features, one of which is the ability to <strong>toggle between capacitive and on-screen buttons</strong>. The OnePlus One also has hardware-accelerated scrolling in WeChat.</p> <p class="s450-550"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/everything-about-oneplus-one/buttons.jpg" alt="On-Screen Or Capacitive Buttons" height="168" width="500" /></p> <h4>Screen-Off Gestures</h4> <p>CyanogenMod 11S gives you access to some very handy <strong>screen gestures</strong> that can be used even when the screen itself is turned off. For instance, you can <strong>double tap to turn the One’s screen on</strong>, or you can <strong>draw a simple image on the screen to launch an app</strong> directly without having to wake the phone first. Some of the gestures enabled by default include drawing a circle to launch the camera and a "V" to turn on the flashlight.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/everything-about-oneplus-one/screen-off-gestures.jpg" alt="Screen-Off Gestures" width="500" height="136" /></p> <h4>Voice Wakeup</h4> <p>The OnePlus One takes advantage of both CyanogenMod 11S and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor to provide a <strong>Voice Wakeup</strong> feature that’s similar in functionality to the Moto X’s Always Listening feature. "OK, OnePlus" will wake the phone up and launch Google Now by default. The One’s voice recognition capabilities can also be used to <strong>perform tasks even when the phone is locked</strong>.</p> <h3>Pricing</h3> <p>The pricing is <strong>definitely the biggest appeal</strong> of the OnePlus One. The 16GB OnePlus One will cost <strong>$299</strong> in the United States, <strong>€269</strong> in the European Union, and <strong>£229</strong> in Great Britain. The 64GB model comes in at <strong>$349</strong>, <strong>€299</strong> and <strong>£229</strong>.</p> <p>Do bear in mind that these prices are <strong>unlocked and without a contract</strong>.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/everything-about-oneplus-one/pricing.jpg" alt="OnePlus One Pricing" height="282" width="500" /></p> <p>The OnePlus One’s top-of-the-line hardware specifications don’t come with the hefty price tag you’d expect; the price is <strong>on-par with the Nexus 5</strong> and is just about <strong>half that of other flagship-spec smartphones</strong> such as the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the HTC One M8.</p> <h3>Compare And contrast</h3> <p><a id="table"></a>Here are all the pertinent facts you’ll need to compare the OnePlus One to some of its direct competitors.

but don’t have to grow <em>up</em></strong> – but you know you have to, eventually; the bills don’t pay themselves. When dealing in the <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/things-to-consider-before-fulltime-freelancing/">freelancing world</a>, we all love working with grown-ups; people <strong>who we can depend on to deliver</strong> what we need.</p> <p>Plus, no one loves working with a person who <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/deal-with-clients/">relays communication via tantrums</a> and shouts. And of course, <strong>no one likes their work to be criticized, unfairly</strong>.</p> <p class="sw"><a href="http://www.fotolia.com/id/54183536/partner/201861868"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/give-constructive-criticism/criticism.jpg" alt="" height="400" width="600"></a></p> <p>As much as everyone has an opinion and loves to give it, <strong>not everyone can take another man’s opinion</strong>. The advice strewn about everywhere has always been along the lines of "<a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/dealing-with-criticism/">criticism will help you grow, if you let it</a>" but rarely do people advise us on <em>how</em> to give criticism that is truly constructive – the kind that actually <strong>helps the receiver</strong>.</p> <p class="recommended_top"><strong>Recommended Reading: </strong><a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/turn-criticism-into-inspiration/">How To Turn Criticism Into Inspiration</a></p> <h3>What is Constructive Criticism?</h3> <p><strong>Constructive Criticism is hard work</strong>. It is the <strong>responsible form of criticizing someone’s work</strong>. To deliver constructive feedback, you need to <strong>have respect</strong> for the person on the other end, play fair, do your homework, and help them get better.</p> <p>It is different from just <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/cyber-hecklers/">purely hating something</a> because it didn’t work for you. That form of criticism is almost always as easy to do as it is as easy to hate.</p> <p>Many people <strong>criticize just to let off steam</strong>, to get a point across in the most agitated form possible, or to flaunt superiority. One very common example is the customer’s complaint. They come in upset, scream into the phone, sometimes to someone who is not even responsible for their outburst.</p> <p class="recommended_top"><strong>Read Also: </strong><a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/types-of-clients/">How To Handle These 9 Client Types Like A Pro</a></p> <p>This may work in this scenario but not when you are the workplace. If you <strong>need to demand respect, that usually means you don’t know how to earn it.</strong></p> <h3>Is criticism what they need?</h3> <p>Any form of criticism stems from the decision-maker’s dissatisfaction of a <a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/out/freelancer" style="" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/out/freelancer';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">job</a> done or delivered. It could be that it’s not up to an expected level of quality, or there are a few missing essentials. In any case, it <strong>doesn’t achieve a required objective or a set of objectives</strong>, which is why it needs to be rectified.</p> <p>But before jumping in to criticize someone’s work, you have to play fair, and give them the <strong>benefit of the doubt</strong>. To be able to give constructive criticism, you have to first <strong>respect and acknowledge</strong> the fact that the receiver knows what he or she is doing, and that he had <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/stop-procrastination-on-job/">ample time</a> to deliver satisfactory results.</p> <p class="recommended_top"><strong>Read Also: </strong><a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/new-freelancers-common-problems/">Common Problems Faced By New Freelancers: Tips & Solutions</a></p> <h4>Getting The Right Person For The Job</h4> <p>For the former, if you find that the person-in-charge is not suited for the job at hand, there is no need for criticism – <strong>there is a need to redelegate the task</strong>, or find someone else who is more suitable.</p> <p>Suppose you do have the right man for the job, but his work isn’t up to par. Take into account if he had enough<strong> time, the right resources, all the up-to-date information</strong> required for him to carry out his task well.</p> <p>If not, it’s not criticism that you should give, it’s the resources he needs to further improve the <a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/out/freelancer" style="" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/out/freelancer';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">job</a> at hand. Remember that <strong>sometimes you need to ask them point blank</strong> in order to get to the root of the problem, and this helps you understand the situation better.</p> <p class="recommended_top"><strong>Read Also: </strong><a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/effective-communication-tactics-for-designers/">5 Effective Communication Tactics/Tips For Designers</a></p> <h3>How To Give Constructive Criticism</h3> <p>So you’re sure the person-in-charge is at fault, which is why you’re still reading this. There is no avoiding the dreaded "talk". But first, here’s what you need to prepare:</p> <h4>1. Identify the problem</h4> <p>Yes, constructive criticism is hard work, and part of it involves identifying the problem. No one likes being told that what they’re doing is wrong, without being given the specifics of<strong> what the hell is wrong</strong>. Adopting the "Because I said so," attitude is not only child-like, it also shows how little you think of <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/better-handle-writing-deadlines/">other people’s time</a>.</p> <p>If you find that the issue is with the person’s carelessness, or them focusing on a wrong area or aspect, or a terrible misunderstanding of the specifications, <strong>tell it like it is</strong>. Get the person <strong>on the same page before proceeding</strong> to what you think is a proper solution.</p> <p class="recommended_top"><strong>Read Also: </strong><a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/new-freelancers-common-problems/">Common Problems Faced By New Freelancers – Tips & Solutions</a></p> <h4> 2. Provide a solution</h4> <p>Yes, you also need to <strong>provide a solution.</strong> If blue is not the color you want, <strong>identify what is, and why</strong>. Don’t give people that "reddish blue but not purple" nonsense. Unless a specific color has been specified in <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/creative-brief-from-clients/">the client’s brief</a>, a designer <strong>has the freedom to pick</strong> a suitable color for your design.</p> <p>If you don’t like it – which is totally fine, since you are <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/paying-for-good-design/">paying for the design</a> – give them a ballpark color and <strong>your reasoning why it is better</strong> suited for your purpose. This applies to all <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/fail-to-succeed-billionaires/">forms of feedback</a>. Alternatively, you can share your expectations of the receiver’s future performances. <strong>Be clear with what you want</strong>, which leads us to the next point.</p> <h4>3. Provide examples</h4> <p>As an extension from #2, examples will help you and the receiver <strong>get the same visuals in both your minds</strong>. This can be in the form of what steps to take in order to fix the problem, what changes to make, or what new direction to follow.</p> <p>Where possible, <strong>treat this like it’s the last time the both of you can sit down and discuss</strong> the task(s) and expectation(s), so <strong>lay everything out</strong> on the table and <strong>talk it out</strong>. (Seriously, how many times does this criticism talk need to happen? Unless it is completely necessary, once is enough).</p> <p class="recommended_top"><strong>Read Also: </strong><a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/how-to-manage-your-team-with-praise-incentives-and-autonomy/">How To Manage Your Team With Praise, Incentives And Autonomy</a></p> <h4>4. Give them limitations they can work with</h4> <p>And because you aren’t a dictator, do provide the receiver with how much freedom he can work with, or the limitations he has to manage. This will<strong> allow him to exercise his creative license</strong> (it’s his job to have some input into the task, isn’t it?) while still delivering what you expect from him.</p> <p class="recommended_top"><strong>Read Also: </strong><a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/hiring-awesome-team/">How To Hire & Build An Awesome Team</a></p> <h3>Last Reminders</h3> <p>In <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/pitalls-of-using-cloud/">highlighting the pitfalls</a> to avoid, the ultimate goal of constructive criticism is to help the receiver improve. The <strong>tone and attitude</strong> in relaying this information <strong>should be encouraging</strong>, despite the need to highlight the negative aspects of the situation.</p> <p class="recommended_top"><strong>Read Also: </strong><a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/minimize-online-harassment/">Don’t Be A Troll Magnet: Tips To Minimize Online Harassment</a></p> <p>Also remember that, <strong>not everyone can accept your criticism with an open mind</strong> – constructive or not, be ready to receive a defiant backlash that may stem from wounded dignity. You might also want to prepare for harsh words <strong>bent on retaliation</strong> or <strong>attacks on your personality</strong> – things that make you question why you are doing this in the first place.</p> <p>I’ll tell you why.</p> <p>Criticism that is constructive is <strong>essential to the industry at large</strong>. Not only does it funnel experience from the seasoned players to new beginners, it also helps develop <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/ultimate-guide-to-web-optimization-tips-best-practices/">best practices</a> for the whole trade. As it may take a while for a newbie to catch up in terms of experience, <strong>criticism can help accelerate </strong><a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/degree-vs-self-learning/">the learning process</a>, and don’t we <strong>love to have more professionals around</strong> to help us achieve our goals?</p> <div class='yarpp-related-rss'> <p>Related posts:<ol> <li><a href='http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/turn-criticism-into-inspiration/' rel='bookmark' title='How To Turn Criticism Into Inspiration'>How To Turn Criticism Into Inspiration</a></li> <li><a href='http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/dealing-with-criticism/' rel='bookmark' title='How to Deal with Criticism in The Freelancing World'>How to Deal with Criticism in The Freelancing World</a></li> <li><a href='http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/organized-task-project-droptask/' rel='bookmark' title='Mind-Map Your Way Through Tasks and Projects With Droptask'>Mind-Map Your Way Through Tasks and Projects With Droptask</a></li> <li><a href='http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/traits-making-clients-love-you/' rel='bookmark' title='Freelancers: 7 Traits That Make Clients Love You'>Freelancers: 7 Traits That Make Clients Love You</a></li> </ol></p> </div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://rss.feedsportal.com/c/35261/f/656072/s/39b1a710/sc/36/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505182233/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/39b1a710/sc/36/rc/1/rc.htm" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505182233/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/39b1a710/sc/36/rc/1/rc.img" border="0"/></a><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505182233/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/39b1a710/sc/36/rc/2/rc.htm" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505182233/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/39b1a710/sc/36/rc/2/rc.img" border="0"/></a><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505182233/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/39b1a710/sc/36/rc/3/rc.htm" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505182233/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/39b1a710/sc/36/rc/3/rc.img" border="0"/></a><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505182233/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/39b1a710/sc/36/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505182233/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/39b1a710/sc/36/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/195505182233/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/39b1a710/sc/36/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/24thfloor/~4/AgPDoJEO83Q" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="5" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://rss.feedsportal.com/c/35261/f/656072/s/39b0dd1b/sc/4/l/0L0Shongkiat0N0Cblog0Cinfographic0Edigital0Eworld0Efuels0Ephysical0Eeconomy0C/story01.htm">How The Digital World Fuels The Physical Economy [Infographic]</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 23 Apr 2014 10:01 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><p>You probably know that it is <strong>important for a business to have some sort of Web presence</strong>, be it a <a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/building-about-us-page/">contact page</a>, a <a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/beautiful-landing-pages/">landing page</a> for a product, an <a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/professionally-looking-ecommerce-web-design/">e-Commerce page</a> to take in orders or a social media page to <a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/tips-tricks-for-your-business-facebook-fan-page/">interact with customers</a>.</p> <p>What you may not know is that the dealings in the digital world accounts for <strong>more than the total GDP contributions from Canada and Spain</strong>.

href="http://newsroom.fb.com/news/2014/04/introducing-a-new-optional-feature-called-nearby-friends/">Nearby Friends</a> is a Facebook feature that will<strong> inform you about your friend’s location when they are nearby</strong>. You can also use the feature to <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/track-lost-stolen-android-devices/">track</a> your friend’s location in real time. This feature is available in the <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/must-know-facebook-timeline-tips-tricks/">Facebook</a> mobile app, where once enabled, you will occasionally be notified when your friends are in the proximity range of your current location. That way, you can quickly meet up to grab a bite together, all thanks to Facebook.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/facebook-nearby-friends/nearby-friends-feature.jpg" alt="Facebook Nearby Friends feature" width="500" height="429" /></p> <p>Released on <a rel="external" href="http://newsroom.fb.com/news/2014/04/introducing-a-new-optional-feature-called-nearby-friends/">April 17, 2014</a> and currently rolling out in stages, the feature is probably not available to you yet, which makes it perfect for us to have a quick discussion about <strong>5 essential things you should <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/20-facebook-tipstricks-you-might-not-know/">know about Facebook</a> Nearby Friends</strong>.</p> <p class="recommended_top"><strong>Recommended Reading:</strong> <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/facebook-tips-and-tricks-part2/"> 20 Facebook Tips And Tricks You Should Know – Part II</a></p> <h3>1. How To Use Nearby Friends</h3> <p>First off, for Nearby Friends to work, you will need to share your location with your friends and have them do the same to you. <strong>To enable Nearby Friends</strong> (when you get it), go to the <strong>More</strong> tab within your Facebook application (<a rel="external" href="https://itunes.apple.com/my/app/facebook/id284882215?mt=8">iOS</a> or <a rel="external" href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.facebook.katana">Android</a>) and look for Nearby Friends in the menu to turn t on.</p> <p>Any of your friends that has opted in for this feature by turning it on will be able to see you in the list, <strong>if the both of you share your respective locations</strong>. The list will also show the <strong>distance</strong> between you and your friend, their <strong>last logged location </strong>and the<strong> current neighbourhood</strong> they’re in.</p> <h4>Sharing Precise Location At Stipulated Time</h4> <p>If you’re not okay with sharing your location all the time, but for perhaps a gathering or a meet-up you’d want to, Nearby Friends has an option for you to <strong>set the time you are trackable</strong> via the feature. You can share the precise location of your whereabouts to your friend(s) <strong>for a period of time which you can set</strong>.</p> <p>That means you can look for your friends’ precise location on a map and be able to tell when they will arrive at the agreed meeting point, or if they aren’t on the way yet (even if they said they are).</p> <p class="s450-550"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/facebook-nearby-friends/nearby-friends.jpg" alt="Share Precise Location And Know When Your Friends Are Traveling" width="500" height="428" /></p> <h3>2. Use Of Your Data</h3> <p>There is no such thing as a free lunch and yes, using Nearby Friends will eventually get you submitted to some advertising (<a rel="external" href="http://techcrunch.com/2014/04/18/facebook-location-advertising/">says Facebook</a>). Basically, there is a plan to eventually <strong>use the data gathered by your location history for marketing purposes</strong>.</p> <p>The data you submit to use Nearby Friends can be easily harnessed by Facebook to share with advertisers who will probably <strong>forward targeted ads to you</strong> – which isn’t so bad. For example, you will probably receive an online voucher, if you and a friend are lunching together at a certain restaurant that has a special promotion.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/facebook-nearby-friends/location-history.jpg" alt="What's In It For Facebook?" width="500" height="264" /><br /> <em>(Image Source: <a rel="external" href="http://techcrunch.com">TechCrunch</a>)</em></p> <p>Then again, this isn’t news because every other Facebook features that requires your location even before Nearby Friends, can be used the same way.</p> <h3>3. Facebook Features That Use Location Info</h3> <p>Even before the launch of Nearby Friends, there were other Facebook features that use or rely on your location to work. Those features are known as <strong>Facebook Messenger</strong>, <strong>Nearby Places</strong>, <strong>Check-in</strong> and <strong>Status update</strong>. If you use Facebook Messenger and share a status update via mobile, know that your location info is turned on by default.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/facebook-nearby-friends/facebook-messenger-option.jpg" alt="Facebook Features That Uses Location" width="500" height="286" /></p> <p>So, technically, Facebook already knows your location <strong>as exposed by you</strong> from the features listed above. It just can’t track you most or all of the time, until now. If however, you are fine with this, Nearby Friends is probably a great feature to help you reconnect more easily with friends.</p> <p class="recommended_top"><strong>Read Also: </strong><a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/facebook-privacy-matters/">Facebook & Your Privacy: Why It Matters</a></p> <h3>4. There Are Other Better Apps</h3> <p>Note that there are already a few other services that offer similar, or even better, features that bank on location sharing. Just to name a few there is <a rel="external" href="http://circleapp.com/">Circle</a>, an app you can use to find out <strong>what local events are happening around you</strong> and <strong>which of your friends are attending the events</strong>.</p> <p>Then there’s <a rel="external" href="http://ban.jo/">Banjo</a>, where you can get <strong>information about live events</strong> and <strong>breaking news</strong> on your favorite social network, sortable by location.</p> <p><a rel="external" href="http://connect.com/">Connect</a> brings <strong>all your social networks friends</strong> (not just the ones on Facebook) into one map. You get to see which friends are nearby, who is visiting from out-of-state, and your social address book is <em><strong>always</strong></em><strong> up-to-date</strong>.</p> <p>We recently also reviewed <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/local-offline-messaging-firechat/">Firechat</a>, an app that allows you to <strong>chat offline with peeps in your vicinity</strong> using <a rel="external" href="https://opengarden.com/">Open Garden</a> mesh networks, <strong>without an internet connection</strong>.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/facebook-nearby-friends/commute-sharing.jpg" alt="Other Similar Services" width="500" height="266" /></p> <p>Note that if you are an Android user, you already have a feature very similar to Nearby Friends: <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/google-now-tips-and-tricks/">Google Now Commute Sharing</a>. Through Commute Sharing, you can let your friends or family know when you’re heading home from work. <strong>It works over the Google+ network</strong> where you can share your locations to those in your circles.</p> <p>Once enabled, your location will be available in the form of Google Now cards when you’re <em>at work</em>, leaving <em>from work</em> and when you <em>arrive home</em> – <strong>every step of the way</strong>.</p> <h3>5. Yes, We Need To Talk About Privacy</h3> <p>Nearby Friends can only work if both you and your friend share each other’s location. The good news is you <strong>have the option to share</strong> your location to your <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/facebook-friend-list-like-google-plus-circles/">Facebook list</a> , just a group of friends or make it public to everyone.</p> <p>But let’s face it, most people will probably share their location to everyone on their Facebook since it is a lot more convenient to do so.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/facebook-nearby-friends/facebook-privacy-settings.jpg" alt="Privacy: Are The Options Good Enough?" width="500" height="285" /></p> <p>Overexposing your personal information to everyone may result in nothing, or it may come back and <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/bizarre-facebook-crimes/">bite you one day</a>. There are <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/5-things-that-shouldnt-be-on-your-facebook/">repercussions to oversharing</a> that is unique to each individual so do use the feature with caution, rather than complain about how Facebook is <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/facebook-privacy-matters/">invading your privacy</a> or misappropriating your private data when something bad happens. <strong>The feature is optional</strong>, and at the end of the day, remember that you are in charge of your own privacy matters.</p> <p class="recommended_top"><strong>Read Also: </strong><a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/facebook-privacy-settings-you-should-know/">5 Facebook Privacy Settings You Should Know</a></p> <h3>Conclusion</h3> <p>In comparison to other similar services, one <strong>clear advantage</strong> Facebook Nearby Friends has is that most of your friends are <strong>probably already on Facebook</strong>. One possible disadvantage is, this feature could probably have an effect on your battery life. However, if you want to bring your online social life back to real life, this is probably one of the best Facebook feature that could turn that into reality.</p> <div class='yarpp-related-rss'> <p>Related posts:<ol> <li><a href='http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/facebook-friends-how-many-is-too-many/' rel='bookmark' title='Facebook Friends: How Many Is Too Many?'>Facebook Friends: How Many Is Too Many?</a></li> <li><a href='http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/stop-facebook-ads-recommendations/' rel='bookmark' title='How to Prevent Yourself From Turning Up on Facebook Recommendation Ads'>How to Prevent Yourself From Turning Up on Facebook Recommendation Ads</a></li> <li><a href='http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/facebook-privacy-settings-you-should-know/' rel='bookmark' title='5 Facebook Privacy Settings You Should Know'>5 Facebook Privacy Settings You Should Know</a></li> <li><a href='http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/facebook-app-for-iphone/' rel='bookmark' title='Facebook 6.0 for iPhone: Everything You Need to Know'>Facebook 6.0 for iPhone: Everything You Need to Know</a></li> </ol></p> </div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://rss.feedsportal.com/c/35261/f/656072/s/39ac1261/sc/5/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505147179/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/39ac1261/sc/5/rc/1/rc.htm" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505147179/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/39ac1261/sc/5/rc/1/rc.img" border="0"/></a><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505147179/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/39ac1261/sc/5/rc/2/rc.htm" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505147179/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/39ac1261/sc/5/rc/2/rc.img" border="0"/></a><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505147179/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/39ac1261/sc/5/rc/3/rc.htm" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505147179/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/39ac1261/sc/5/rc/3/rc.img" border="0"/></a><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505147179/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/39ac1261/sc/5/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505147179/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/39ac1261/sc/5/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/195505147179/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/39ac1261/sc/5/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/24thfloor/~4/Km6n4G0uCXA" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="2" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://rss.feedsportal.com/c/35261/f/656072/s/39aa6f21/l/0L0Shongkiat0N0Cblog0Cgiveaway0Eblinksale0Einvoicing0Etool0C/story01.htm">[Giveaway] 1-Year Blinksale Unlimited Plan Worth $180 (5x Winners)</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 23 Apr 2014 06:01 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><p><a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/out/freelancer" style="" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/out/freelancer';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">Freelancers</a> have <a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/job-roles-for-freelancers/">a lot on their plate</a>, and although the most important role would be to keep the dough rolling in, sometimes <strong>keeping track of payments is a high-strung <a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/out/freelancer" style="" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/out/freelancer';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">job</a></strong>.

The familiar <a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/top-social-bookmarking-wordpress-plugins/">bookmarking</a> interface probably needs a facelift. While it may have been perfect back in the infancy of the Internet, <strong>bookmarking has become a more prominent part of our online behavior</strong> that the old interfaces just can’t cut it anymore. We need our contents <strong>organized, and easy to save.</strong></p> <p>There are a few apps and services out there that can help you do just that, but there’s now a new kid on the block: <a rel="external" href="https://dragdis.com/">Dragdis</a>.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/bookmark-save-web-content-dragdis/dragdis-landing-page.jpg" alt="Dragdis" width="500" height="296"></p> <p><a rel="external" href="https://dragdis.com/">Dragdis</a> is a supremely <strong>easy to use drag-and-drop clipboard tool</strong> that stands out from the crowd. No more screengrabs, copy-pasting or saving to desktop needed. Just drag and drop. Sounds good, right? Let’s check out what Dragdis has in store.</p> <p class="recommended_top"><strong>Recommended Reading:</strong> <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/organize-web-pieces-keeeb/">Saving And Organizing Web Pieces Wtih Keeeb</a></p> <h3>Getting Started With Dragdis</h3> <p>Dragdis is available as an extension for <strong>Chrome, Firefox and Safari</strong>. To use Dragdis, you first have to register an account with the service. You can <a rel="external" href="https://dragdis.com/">create a new account</a> or register using your Facebook, Twitter or Google accounts.</p> <p>Once you’ve registered, you’ll be taken through a quick tutorial on how to use Dragdis. You’ll also be prompted to <strong>install the Dragdis extension</strong> for your web browser of choice.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/bookmark-save-web-content-dragdis/install-extension.jpg" alt="Install Dragdis Extension" height="296" width="500" /></p> <p><strong>Dragdis requires this extension to work</strong>, so there’s no getting around installing the extension.</p> <p>Once you’ve installed the extension, Dragdis will take you through the rest of the tutorial, including how to create a folder and how to drag and drop content into this folder.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/bookmark-save-web-content-dragdis/dragdis-interface.jpg" width="500" height="289" /></p> <p>We’ll be covering all of that in the next part of this post.</p> <h3>Saving Content In Dragdis</h3> <p>First and foremost, let’s take a look at the Dragdis sidebar itself. To access this sidebar, click on the Dragdis icon in your browser’s navigation bar.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/bookmark-save-web-content-dragdis/dragdis-sidebar.jpg" alt="Dragdis Sidebar" height="408" width="500" /></p> <p>In this sidebar, you’ll see your account name, plus two groups named <strong>Drag to…</strong> and <strong>Home</strong>. <strong>Drag to…</strong> is where your social network "apps" are, by default. These apps let you <strong>share content directly onto social networks</strong> linked to your account with Dragdis (more on that later).</p> <h4>Saving Text, Images, Videos, Webpages</h4> <p>With Dragdis, you can bookmark and save <strong>text, images, videos </strong>and even<strong> entire webpages</strong>. Just drag any content to the right side of your browser window and the Dragdis sidebar will appear automatically. Then drag the content to the folder of your choice. You can do the same with <strong>images and text</strong>.</p> <p>As for <strong>saving a website</strong> (see below), just <strong>drag the site’s favicon</strong> from the URL bar over to Dragdis.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/bookmark-save-web-content-dragdis/drag-drop-website.jpg" alt="Saving Website" height="298" width="500" /></p> <p>To save <strong>videos</strong>, once you have Dragdis installed, a small Dragdis icon will appear in the upper left corner of videos you view. Drag this icon into Dragdis to save the video.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/bookmark-save-web-content-dragdis/drag-drop-video.jpg" alt="Saving YouTube Video" height="204" width="500" /></p> <h4>Organizing Your Content</h4> <p>Organizing saved content on Dragdis is very simple. Click on the <strong>+</strong> icon beside your account name to create a new Group. You can <strong>add folders inside each group</strong> with the <strong>+</strong> icon within the group. Rearrange groups and/or folders by simply <strong>dragging them in the order that you want</strong>.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/bookmark-save-web-content-dragdis/new-folder-new-group.jpg" alt="New Group And New Folder" height="380" width="500" /></p> <h4>More On Sharing</h4> <p>After you’ve dragged content into a folder, you’ll be given the option to <strong>tag or share</strong> that particular content. Sharing is caring, right?</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/bookmark-save-web-content-dragdis/tag-or-share.jpg" alt="Tag Or Share" height="305" width="500" /></p> <p>Clicking on <strong>Click to tag or share</strong> will open a new tab in your browser.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/bookmark-save-web-content-dragdis/tag-and-share-screen.jpg" alt="Tag And Share Screen" height="333" width="500" /></p> <p>Here, you can find the <strong>Dragdis link</strong> for this item, some social network Share buttons, as well as the ability to <strong>add notes </strong>and<strong> tags</strong> to the item. At the bottom you’ll also find a <strong>link to the source of the item</strong>, the <strong>Delete</strong> link.</p> <h4>Folders On Dragdis</h4> <p>If you like, you can also <strong>share entire folders</strong> through Dragdis. Content on Dragdis is <strong>semi-private</strong>, in that your content is only visible to the public once you’ve chosen to share the content.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/bookmark-save-web-content-dragdis/share-folder.jpg" alt="Share Folder" height="395" width="500" /></p> <p>To see the contents of a folder, just <strong>click on the folder name</strong> in the sidebar. You can also access this folder by visiting the Dragdis website. Do note that you can <strong>watch video content directly in the folder</strong>, which is a nice touch.</p> <p class="s450-550"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/bookmark-save-web-content-dragdis/folder-view.jpg" alt="Dragdis Folder View" height="245" width="500" /></p> <h3>Settings And Customization</h3> <p>There’s a basic <strong>Group settings</strong> screen that you can access by mousing over the group and clicking on the small gear icon that appears. This will open a new tab and take you to the <strong>Group settings</strong> screen, where you can change the group color.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/bookmark-save-web-content-dragdis/group-settings.jpg" alt="Group Settings" height="332" width="500" /></p> <p>You can also do the same with folders; just mouse over a folder and click on the small gear icon.

Sure, the sensors in our cameras and <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/dslr-accessories/">DSLRs</a> are getting better and better, and we’re getting cool technologies like WiFi connectivity, but the medium itself hasn’t changed much. We’re <strong>still capturing flat 2D images</strong>, with the only improvements being the size and detail of these images. Until now. Say hello to the <a rel="external" href="https://www.lytro.com/">Lytro Illum</a>.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/refocus-images-lytro-illum/lytro-illum.jpg" alt="Lytro Illum" width="500" height="263"></p> <p>The <a rel="external" href="https://www.lytro.com/">Lytro Illum</a> is a <strong>game-changing light-field camera</strong>, the follow-up to their first Light Field Camera. The Lytro Illum retains the previous model’s party piece, the ability to <strong>refocus your photographs after you take them</strong>, but improves on the previous model in almost every way possible.</p> <p class="recommended_top"><strong>Recommended Reading:</strong> <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/turn-iphone-3d-camera/">Turn Your iPhone Into A 3D Camera With Poppy</a></p> <h3>What Is A light-Field Camera?</h3> <p>Light-field cameras use an array of multiple microlenses, usually smaller than 1mm in diameter, to <strong>capture four-dimensional light field data</strong>. Basically, what this means is that a light-field camera not only captures the color and intensity of light, but <strong>also captures the direction of light</strong>.</p> <p>This isn’t entirely new technology. It was proposed by Franco-Luxembourgish inventor <a rel="external" href="http://www.tgeorgiev.net/Lippmann/">Gabriel Lippmann</a> back in 1908.</p> <p>But the technology to process these images in interesting ways hadn’t been available until Lytro founder Ren Ng and his Stanford University computer team showed that cameras with powerful graphics processing capabilities – both hardware and software – could allow<strong> users to refocus and shift the perspective of images</strong> captured using light-field technology.</p> <p>That’s why Lytro Illum comes in.</p> <h3>A New Way To Snap Photos</h3> <p>The Lytro Illum is a complete refinement of the previous Lytro Light Field Camera that’s targeted towards professionals and advanced amateurs, especially those working within the fields of creative photography.</p> <p>The Lytro Illum has its own <strong>custom 40 Megaray sensor</strong>, which captures four times as much information as the sensor in the older Light Field Camera. The images this sensor captures are then processed by the Illum’s software with "tablet-class processing power". This combination of sensor and software is what allows you to refocus images <em>after</em> capturing them.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/refocus-images-lytro-illum/sensor.jpg" alt="Lytro Illum Sensor" height="274" width="500" /></p> <p>What does this all mean, though? Well, check out these examples to see what the Lytro Illum, and light-field camera technology, can do:</p> <p class="sw"> <iframe src="https://pictures.lytro.com/lytro/albums/149429/embed?token=6cb04136-c43a-11e3-9416-22000a8b14ce" width="600" height="487" frameborder="0" scrolling="No" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> </p> <p>Cool, huh? Let’s check out the device that can do this from the palm of your hands.</p> <h3>The Hardware</h3> <p>The Illum’s user interface is simple and uncluttered, with only a shutter and a special <strong>Lytro Button</strong>, similar to a depth of field preview button, on the top of the body.</p> <p>There’s also the usual <strong>exposure lock and autofocus</strong> buttons. Everything else is controlled through a <strong>4" touchscreen</strong> that’s also <strong>angled slightly upward</strong>, to facilitate photo-taking without having to raise the Illum to eye level.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/refocus-images-lytro-illum/touchscreen.jpg" alt="Lytro Illum Touchscreen" height="317" width="500" /></p> <p>As far as the lens is concerned, the Lytro Illum boasts an impressive <strong>35-250mm</strong> equivalent zoom lens with a <strong>constant f/2.0 apeture</strong> and macro capability. The lens is light, too, weighing in at only half a pound.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/refocus-images-lytro-illum/lens.jpg" alt="Lytro Illum Lens" height="242" width="500" /></p> <p>Here’s a cut-out top down view of Lytro’s previous Light Field Camera, showing you the microlens array:</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/refocus-images-lytro-illum/lytro-light-field-camera.jpg" alt="Lytro Light Field Camera" height="198" width="500" /></p> <p>The Illum also has the <strong>common connectivity ports</strong> such as a hot shoe for external flash units, a remote shutter port, a tripod mount and an SD card slot.</p> <p>Lytro also has a <strong>suite of desktop tools</strong> that will not only let you refocus and shift the perspective of images, but also <strong>transform your images into dynamic animations</strong> for desktop, mobile and even in 3D.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/refocus-images-lytro-illum/desktop-tools.jpg" alt="Lytro Desktop Tools" height="306" width="500" /></p> <p>The <a rel="external" href="https://preorder.lytro.com/lytro-illum-pre-order">Lytro Illum</a> is currently <strong>available for pre-order</strong> at a special <strong>introductory price of $1,499,</strong> with a $250 deposit required to reserve a camera.

href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/blog-with-jekyll/">setup a Jekyll blog locally in our computer</a>, <a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/jekyll-draft/">create a draft</a>, and <a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/jekyll-plugin/">manage multiple drafts</a> with the use of a plugin in the previous posts. Now, we are ready to deploy the blog to the online server, letting the world see how awesome our blog is.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/jekyll-github-pages/octojekyll-cover.jpg" height="320" width="500"></p> <p>Deploying Jekyll to online server is so easy, as it is only a static website. All you need is shared hosting with decent hard disk space and bandwidth sufficient enough to host it. The cost for shared hosting should be affordable. But then again, why worry when you can host a Jekyll blog completely for free – using <a href="http://pages.github.com/" rel="external">Github Pages</a>.</p> <p>Github offers <strong>Github Pages</strong> for free for anyone to host their static websites. It has Jekyll built-in, so it is a good place to host our Jekyll-powered blog. In this article, we will show you how to deploy our blog to <strong>Github Pages</strong>.</p> <p class="recommended_top"><strong>Recommended Reading:</strong> <a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/create-github-page/">How To Create A Github Page For Your Project</a></p> <h4>Getting Started</h4> <p>First, you need to have a Github account. Once you have one, <a href="https://github.com/new" rel="external">create a new repository</a>. The name of your repository will be used for the blog address in the following format <code>{username}.github.io/{repo-name}</code>. </p> <p>In this example, I will name my repository simply as <code>blog</code>. When the repository has been created, copy the <strong>clone url</strong>.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/jekyll-github-pages/copy-clone.jpg" height="150" width="500"></p> <h4>Add, Commit, and Push</h4> <p>We are going to upload our local Jekyll files to our newly created Github repository. I will use Github for Mac to do the <a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/out/freelancer" style="" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/out/freelancer';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">job</a>, which can be <a href="https://mac.github.com/">downloaded</a> for free – Github for Windows is also available for Windows users.</p> <p>Let’s launch Github app, and then add our Jekyll blog directory as a Local Repository.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/jekyll-github-pages/local-repo.jpg" height="320" width="500"></p> <p>Head over to the Settings page. Paste the Github git clone URL that was copied above.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/jekyll-github-pages/remote-repo.jpg" height="217" width="500"></p> <p><a href="http://git-scm.com/docs/git-commit" rel="external">Commit</a> and <a href="http://git-scm.com/docs/git-push" rel="external">Push</a> the files to Github.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/jekyll-github-pages/initial-commit.jpg" height="217" width="500"></p> <p>Go to Github. Ensure that all files have been successfully uploaded.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/jekyll-github-pages/github-repo.jpg" height="217" width="500"></p> <h4>Github Pages Branch</h4> <p>Creating a Github page for a repository is as easy as creating a new git branch. In the Github app, go to the <strong>Branches</strong> tab. Create a new branch named <code>gh-pages</code> of the master branch, and click the <span class="key">Publish</span> button.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/jekyll-github-pages/gh-pages-branch.jpg" height="217" width="500"></p> <p>The new branch is now registered in the Github repository, like so.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/jekyll-github-pages/gh-page-remote.jpg" height="217" width="500"></p> <p>The Github Page for your repository should be ready in a few minutes. When it is, you can open it on the browsers at <code>{username}.github.io/{repo-name}</code>, for example:</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/jekyll-github-pages/final.jpg" height="320" width="500"></p> <h4>Troubleshooting</h4> <p>If the blog is not styled properly, this could be because the stylesheet is not linked properly. To solve this issue, open the default.html in _layouts folder. You will see that the stylesheet is initialized with a slash sign, <code>/</code>.</p> <pre name="code" class="html"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/syntax.css"> </pre> <p>Omit that first slash, so the path looks like the following:</p> <pre name="code" class="html"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/syntax.css"> </pre> <p>Then Commit the change, and Push it to Github. The blog should now be displayed properly.</p> <div class='yarpp-related-rss'> <p>Related posts:<ol> <li><a href='http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/create-github-page/' rel='bookmark' title='How to Create a Github Page for Your Project'>How to Create a Github Page for Your Project</a></li> <li><a href='http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/blog-with-jekyll/' rel='bookmark' title='How to Create a Blog with Jekyll – A Beginner’s Guide'>How to Create a Blog with Jekyll – A Beginner’s Guide</a></li> <li><a href='http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/jekyll-plugin/' rel='bookmark' title='Managing Multiple Drafts Easily in Jekyll'>Managing Multiple Drafts Easily in Jekyll</a></li> <li><a href='http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/jekyll-draft/' rel='bookmark' title='How to Create Post Draft In Jekyll'>How to Create Post Draft In Jekyll</a></li> </ol></p> </div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://rss.feedsportal.com/c/35261/f/656072/s/399eff0b/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505087451/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/399eff0b/rc/1/rc.htm" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505087451/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/399eff0b/rc/1/rc.img" border="0"/></a><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505087451/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/399eff0b/rc/2/rc.htm" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505087451/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/399eff0b/rc/2/rc.img" border="0"/></a><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505087451/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/399eff0b/rc/3/rc.htm" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505087451/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/399eff0b/rc/3/rc.img" border="0"/></a><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505087451/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/399eff0b/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505087451/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/399eff0b/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/195505087451/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/399eff0b/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/24thfloor/~4/ZHNxDh6a380" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="3" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://rss.feedsportal.com/c/35261/f/656072/s/399daa08/sc/4/l/0L0Shongkiat0N0Cblog0Cinsert0Evideo0Efilter0Espotliter0Eios0C/story01.htm">Insert Interactive Filters To Videos &#38; Photos With Spotliter [iOS]</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 22 Apr 2014 03:01 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><p><a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/fresh-iphone-photo-apps/">Apps</a> such as <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/useful-instagram-apps/">Instagram</a> allows you to add layers onto your photos. These type of apps are very popular due to the photo filtering functionality, allowing users to create photographs that have a certain type of look to them. Some developers have tried the same with video, where <strong>a filter is added to achieve different color effects</strong>.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/insert-video-filter-spotliter-ios/spotliter.jpg" alt="Spotliter" height="244" width="500"></p> <p><a rel="external" href="http://spotliter.com/">Spotliter</a>, however, goes beyond simple color filters. The free app provides the users more than the usual black & white or sepia filters. Spotliter provides <strong>interactive filters where users can create videos</strong> while manipulating the filter effects as they shoot them. Let’s check out the app, shall we?</p> <p class="recommended_top"><strong>Recommended Reading:</strong> <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/record-edit-video-on-iphone-easily-with-videon/">Record & Edit Video On iPhone Easily With Videon</a></p> <h3>Interactive Video Filters</h3> <p>Spotliter has 15 different types of filters which they call "<strong>touch effects</strong>". They include Juxtapose, Freeze, Overlay, Blur, Posterize, Horizon, Dots and many more.</p> <p>As an example, let’s look at what one touch effect called Magnify does to your video. With Magnify on, you can use an <strong>on-screen magnifying glass effect to zoom in on a particular subject</strong>, just by pinching your fingers.</p> <p>Another cool touch effect is Searchlight, where an entire video can be shot in photonegative black, except a <strong>spot, circled, to simulate a searchlight</strong> in use at night.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/insert-video-filter-spotliter-ios/searchlight.jpg" alt="Spotliter Searchlight" height="282" width="500"></p> <p>The amazing thing about the app is that all of the filters can be <strong>applied and changed while the video is being recorded</strong>. You can use one filter one moment, then change it to another in the next second. It also allows you to pause your video recording, giving you time to switch filters before resuming.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/insert-video-filter-spotliter-ios/overlay.jpg" alt="Spotliter Overlay" height="282" width="500"></p> <p>Along with videos, the filters also <strong>work with photos</strong>. The Juxtapose and Horizon filters are a cool combined effect made possible with SpotLiter. They let the user combine 2 photos and lay them side by side, perfect for say, a before and after selfie.</p> <p class="s450-550"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/insert-video-filter-spotliter-ios/juxtapose.jpg" alt="Spotliter Juxtapose" height="282" width="500"></p> <h3>Conclusion</h3> <p>There are a few shortcomings with the app. You can’t <strong>share videos and photos to your social networks from within the app</strong>.

A nested folder is a folder that is kept inside another folder. In this post, we will show you how to use this to <strong>completely hide apps from view on your iOS 7 device</strong>.</p> <p class="recommended_top"><strong>Recommended Reading:</strong> <a rel="external" href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/ios-7-tips-tricks-features/">iOS 7: 31 Tips, Tricks And New Features You Should Know</a></p> <h3>Step 1: Creating A Nested Folder</h3> <p>First, identify the apps you want to hide. Keep them all in one folder (we will call this Folder A). In our example, we will be hiding Cloud apps.</p> <p>To create a folder, simply hold and drag one app on top of another. Then, continue adding all other apps you want to hide into that folder.</p> <p>Once you have your set-to-hide folder ready, it’s time to create a dud folder. You will be putting Folder A into this dud folder, but the act itself is a little tricky, the first time around.</p> <p>1. Drop any app to another app to create a new folder (See image 1).</p> <p>2. When an app is on top of another app, quickly let go of the dragged app, and tap-and-drag Folder A before the zoom occurs (See image 2).</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/hide-app-folder-ios7/create-folder-ios.jpg" alt="Creating Folder" height="490" width="500"></p> <p>3. Once you find yourself inside the folder, let go of Folder A (See image 3).</p> <p>4. Press the Home button and there you have it, a nested folder (See image 4). We’re calling this dud folder Folder B.</p> <p class="s450-550"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/hide-app-folder-ios7/nested-folder-ios-2.jpg" alt="Nested Folder" height="490" width="500"></p> <h3>Step 2: Hiding The Folder & Apps</h3> <p>5. So now you have Folder A and two apps inside Folder B (dud folder). Remove the two apps from Folder B (See image 5).</p> <p>6. Then move Folder B to a full home screen (See image 6).</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/hide-app-folder-ios7/full-screen-2.jpg" alt="Remove App" height="490" width="500"></p> <p>7. Once placed, drag Folder A out of Folder B to the dock. Folder B will disappear (See image 7).</p> <p>8. When you let go of Folder A while it is on the dock, Folder A will disappear as well.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/hide-app-folder-ios7/drag-folder-dock-2.jpg" alt="Hidden App" height="490" width="500"></p> <p>That’s it. All your apps in Folder A are now hidden. As now, only you know of their existence, if you ever need to use those apps, you can <strong>access them through the Search function</strong>. And if you ever need to bring them back to your home screen, just <strong>restart your iOS device</strong>.</p> <p class="sw"><img src="http://media02.hongkiat.com/hide-app-folder-ios7/apps-spotlight.jpg" alt="" height="444" width="500"></p> <div class='yarpp-related-rss'> <p>Related posts:<ol> <li><a href='http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/hide-default-ios-app-icons/' rel='bookmark' title='How To Hide Stock Apple Icons On Your iOS Device [Quicktip]'>How To Hide Stock Apple Icons On Your iOS Device [Quicktip]</a></li> <li><a href='http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/sideload-ios-apps-iemulators/' rel='bookmark' title='Sideload iOS Apps With iEmulators [No Jailbreak]'>Sideload iOS Apps With iEmulators [No Jailbreak]</a></li> <li><a href='http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/smartfolder-drag-drop/' rel='bookmark' title='How to Create New Folders in Windows by Drag & Drop [Quicktip]'>How to Create New Folders in Windows by Drag & Drop [Quicktip]</a></li> <li><a href='http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/sync-folders-outside-dropbox/' rel='bookmark' title='How to Sync Any Folders Outside /Dropbox [Quicktip]'>How to Sync Any Folders Outside /Dropbox [Quicktip]</a></li> </ol></p> </div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://rss.feedsportal.com/c/35261/f/656072/s/399afdc0/sc/4/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505067960/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/399afdc0/sc/4/rc/1/rc.htm" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505067960/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/399afdc0/sc/4/rc/1/rc.img" border="0"/></a><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505067960/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/399afdc0/sc/4/rc/2/rc.htm" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505067960/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/399afdc0/sc/4/rc/2/rc.img" border="0"/></a><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505067960/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/399afdc0/sc/4/rc/3/rc.htm" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505067960/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/399afdc0/sc/4/rc/3/rc.img" border="0"/></a><br/><br/><a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505067960/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/399afdc0/sc/4/a2.htm"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/195505067960/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/399afdc0/sc/4/a2.img" border="0"/></a><img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/195505067960/u/49/f/656072/c/35261/s/399afdc0/sc/4/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/24thfloor/~4/yWHsM8Ns2Cw" height="1" width="1"/></div> </td> </tr> </table> <table style="border-top:1px solid #999;padding-top:4px;margin-top:1.5em;width:100%" id="footer"> <tr> <td style="text-align:left;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;font-size:11px;margin:0 6px 1.2em 0;color:#333;">You are subscribed to email updates from <a href="http://www.hongkiat.com/blog">hongkiat.com</a> <br />To stop receiving these emails, you may <a href="http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailunsubscribe?k=lwsa0omHJ4ufx8aizzce-Igs3pQ">unsubscribe now</a>.</td> <td style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;font-size:11px;margin:0 6px 1.2em 0;color:#333;text-align:right;vertical-align:top">Email delivery powered by Google</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" style="text-align:left;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;font-size:11px;margin:0 6px 1.2em 0;color:#333;">Google Inc., 20 West Kinzie, Chicago IL USA 60610</td> </tr> </table> </div> Harshadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07135785006992665759noreply@blogger.com0
