Guzzle.it now

Currently guzzle is a verb intimately linked to gazoline and how cars are guzzling down because the electric car was can years ago. So what if Marca Tatem creates a RSS aggregator and names it that way? My first guess would be that Guzzle.it crunches hundreds of feeds every second. Must say I’m quite impressed with the ease of quickly choosing, organizing and prioritizing the information you want which holds on a single-page. Nice.

Watch the screencast for a quick intro and see how it works.

As of today, the iPhone app is available as well.

Flash no more?

The Gradual Disappearance Of Flash Websites by Brad Cooper

“With the recent announcement of iPad’s lack of Flash support and the continued lack of it on the iPhone, the debate has reached beyond the development community to include Adobe and Apple themselves.

The list of websites that are ditching Flash in favor of Web standards is growing every day. Even if these decisions are driven by the iPad and iPhone’s lack of Flash, they’ll soon reap the other benefits that Web standards bring.”

Flash and Standards: The Cold War of the Web by Dan Mall

“Both the standards community and the Flash community are extremely good at sharing knowledge and supporting the people within their respective groups. The relationship across communities, however, isn’t nearly as cordial. Two things are happening: either the people within each camp stay to themselves, or one ignorantly hurls insults at the other.”

BD Designer

Titled explore the art of simplicity, Buro Destruct Designer iPhone app is a little marvel as playful as useful (luv the little shaking sound that reloads a different starting graphic. The commands are a bit hard to decipher at first and quite extensive considering it is used on a mobile and you can draw with your fingers to alter forms.

_______

Sending yourself created image(s) neatly arrives in a html format complete with the RGB + HEX + CMYK color code. Nice!

You can even download a screensaver software if so incline.

iBend stands

Another trend on the rise? Mobile gadgets adorned by talented (or well-known) designers. This one is a smarty little stand named iBend. “Need a little support?” That’s a smart tagline indeed.
