Monty Python find the Holy Grail

Andrew Fox — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 12:04:48 +0000

Due to the recession there has finally been a lot of recent discussion about the expectation and delivery of free content and services online. A recent high profile winner in this are the Monty Python team who placed clips of their work on YouTube and are now reaping a huge increase in their DVD sales. While the balance for copyright holders seems to be hard to find, for some being a bit more ‘relaxed’ about it all seems to be working.

(I’ve been out of action for quite a while, so I’ve been catching up on some interesting news from around the web and work we have been doing, therefore some of this stuff may be a bit old).

A nice viral video to encourage your friends to get out and vote (if they were American, that is). Who knew it was all Christian’s fault?

“Small screens, as on traditional cell phones, show very little information per screen, which in turn leads to deep hierarchies of stacked-up thin information–too often leaving users with ‘Where am I?’ puzzles. Better to have users looking over material adjacent in space rather than stacked in time.” One of the leading lights of the design world, Edward Tufte, has casts his eye over the iPhone and how it deals with information on a small screen.

While working with People’s Archive, we’ve investigated various video hosting sites, such as YouTube, Vimeo, etc. LifeGoggles has a great page making it easy to compare their embedded players and the quality of their video.

Nothing to do with design, usability, or accessibility, but we love this (found via Panopticist). That said, we do love Vimeo, the YouTube competitor for the clean and simple video players.
