plasticbag : Derek Powazek's written an interesting piece on people following Google's design patterns for Vitamin - He's arguing for not blindly copying Google. The alternative argument would probably be something like Google have established a pattern language which now the rest have to follow or improve upon. Probably a bit of both...
Paul Hammond : Vitamin Features » What Would Google Do? - Google was not a success because their homepage was sparse. They were a success because they brought a better technique to solving a real world problem, and didn’t ever go off-message

Andy Baio : New Technorati beta - much faster, nicer results pages
Philippe Janvier : New Technorati Beta - "Technorati brings you what's happening on the web right now". Dommage que tout ne rentre pas dans la largeur mon tout petit écran :) [via] #
plasticbag : The Technorati beta redesign is up and it's pretty fine. Classy work by Mr Derek Powazek as always - It really does look like a quantum leap in apparent respectability and makes them look much more obviously professional. Nice logo too.
