Spots

post from Daring Fireball on 06 November 2009 08:29:00 PM. © Daring Fireball

I’d like to thank Savoy Software for sponsoring this week’s DF RSS feed to promote Spots, their Wi-Fi hotspot directory app for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Spots is a wonderful app, with a gorgeous visual style and thoughtful UI. It works offline (essential for use on an iPod Touch), with a built-in database of over half a million hotspots worldwide, and its use of location awareness and built-in map views feels super smart. If you want an app for finding nearby Wi-Fi hotspots, this is it. Spots is available for just $1.99 on the App Store.

People in Blinking, Animated Glass Houses

post from Daring Fireball on 06 November 2009 06:23:00 PM. © Daring Fireball

David Pogue, writing for The New York Times, which puts at least two blinking, animated ads on every page of its site, including this one:

Second, and more important, I don?t think advertisers should be blinking, animating and distracting in the first place. If I?m interested in the product, I?ll read the ad. But trying to pull my focus as I?m trying to read crosses some kind of line.

You know what? I would never click any ad that blinks or animates in the first place. It?s obnoxious and juvenile, and I?m not about to reward them.

(Via Merlin Mann.)
