In all the years people have been creating websites, nobody has bothered to gather statistics about who does this work, using what skills, under what conditions, and for what kinds of compensation. It's time for a change. Presenting The Web Design Survey, 2007. Also in this issue of A List Apart: Jonathan Follett on "The Long Hallway"—learn how to work the virtual conference room—and Andy Rutledge on how contrast creates meaning in design.

One of the most common problems a web developer usually face is related to continuously rotate a fragment of content. It can be a presentation of headlines, small fragments of news or a list of thumbnails. The nature of the thing being rotated doesn’t matter too much here because all those kind of applications share always the same idea: Rotating. This objective can be achieve in different ways like fading and scrolling. Well here is iCarousel becomes useful. It’s a one step forward trying to generalize all those types of widgets providing a rich presentation and making the task easy to be done.
This one nearly slipped under the radar, and given the growing list of Joost Partners I could flippantly say Joost has yet another content partner.
The latest deal for the streaming TV platform sees Warner Bros content including WBTV: SCI-FI FIX and WBTV: Before They Were Mega Stars being offered exclusively online with Joost.
WBTV: SCI-FI FIX will feature shows including the Adventures of Briscoe County, Aquaman, Babylon 5, Crusade, Human Target, Invasion, Max Headroom, My Favorite Martian, Prey, Time Trax and V.
The WBTV: Before They Were Mega Stars channel includes shows from the past that feature today’s big stars.
The increasing range of content undoubtedly makes the service more compelling, and yet despite having been a beta tester for some time, I find it difficult to get excited about the service. I know the tech behind it is fairly cool, and yet from the users perspective if I want to watch television I’d rather sit on my lounge, put my feet up and watch on 40 inches of 1080p HD FTA glory than through the occasionally pixilated and choppy picture I get from Joost here in Australia, but maybe it’s just me. By all means, convince me otherwise in the comments.
