Facebook Universal Search, Visualization, 12Seconds and Landing Page Design

by Bob Hazlett on July 10, 2009

Facebook let it all hang out to a select group of members to test their new search interface. The system would allow members to search their news feed for recent updates, photos, links, videos and notes being shared on friends’ profiles and fan Pages. Users who have made their profile and content available to anyone will also be searchable.

SEOMoz yammers it up during Whiteboard Friday to talk about visualization. I think visualization is one of those new and sexy fields that you’ll hear more and more about in the near future.

12seconds is updating their iPhone app to take advantage of the new OS 3.0. The app, which should be available soon, will allow you to send short video messages directly to your friends via twitter.

Back ‘dat thing up and pick up some great tips about landing page design through CopyBlogger’s Landing Page Makeover. Their most recent tutorial covers CarsHelpingAmerica.org.

If you’re a fan of Indie Rock, I highly recommend The Veils – Sun Gangs. Rock out this weekend.

Every month this past year, I’ve sat down and banged out (i.e. uploaded) 12-20 tracks that I thought were really good and ahead of the curve. From these monthly singles there were a few albums that really stuck out to me. It was tough and there were a lot of a lot of albums that were deserving this year, but here are my picks for best albums of 2008. I hope it’s as good for you as it was for me.

Did I totally blow this? Let me know what you think should have been in my top 7 in the comments below.
