Interaction design isn't about static states. Terrific resource for creating fluid experiences.

Too often we focus on individual states of an application or website we're designing, when in the end actual use is something much more fluid. It's important to consider the 'inbetweens' as a way to reinforce parts of the experience.

Johannes Tonollo has put together a great resource that outlines a number of key animation and transition techniques that any designer can benefit from.

Ever wonder how YouTube is still in business? - 5 Secrets of YouTube's Success

Vader, Astley, Cyrus, shepherd, dalmatian / Corbis

This was a great read. Like other folks working in the tech world, I've wondered for some time now how Google would bailout the sinking ship YouTube they purchased 4~ years ago.

We've all seen the ui changes, the advertising tweaks, and other subtle updates to YouTube over the years and I frankly never gave them much thought. It's a great case for business development advancing in the face of political and economic pressures… well played Google!
