Where Art & Science Meet on the ‘Now Web’

by Sam on February 3, 2010

I loved the quote below from Howard Lindzon. No matter the vertical, links are the currency of the web.

The ‘Now’ web is all about links, and the financial community is all about fresh ideas. Stocktwits streams can move pretty quickly especially in fast markets.  Therefore, some level of aggregation is a welcome tool for many users.  While aggregation tools continue to evolve, curation remains a crucial component.

Blending the two is where art and science meet.

I’ve also really been really enjoying Howard’s interviews with leading financial thinkers such as Paul Kedrosky, Chris Dixon and Michael Parekh. Whoever thought up the whole “hedge fund manager or porn star” bit deserves a raise!

    I wonder, however, how the use of personas for the website may influence the design and how the company's personality will dictate how the design will be created.

    Basically, how much influence should the company's personality dictate design versus the persons?

But today, we are extremely proud to present a SneakerFiles nike air max 90 exclusive confirmation that the Air Jordan X (10) will drop this month as a quickstrike release. Not just any Air Jordan 10, but rather the nike air max nl Chicago colorway with 45—the number Michael Jordan wore when he came back from retirement—on the ankle. This colorway of the AJ 10 is one of the most popular styles ever created, and will surely result in lines outside stores for days and may even cause riots. The Air Jordan X (10) “Chicago 45″ will release at only 150 sneaker stores across the United States with each retailer only receiving 23 pairs.

    Yep, that sounds about spot on. To many crappy links not enough moderation, but I guess social sites like reddit and digg help solve that through user selection.
