Best of the Blog!

I reviewed the top blogs from the various "Best of" compilations today. There were some interesting items.

http://www.alistapart.com/ was really neat, as they make some interesting comparisons about the web. They talk about how people try to make websites, shoehorned into design concepts from video, books, tv, posters, etc. Many times these fail, because the web is distinctly NOT the same.

What I really liked was how they compared it to architecture. That the architect designs the structure that will be used, and it is the builder, and eventually the people who occupy it to define the content and use the building to it's fullest. Those users really help it grow and the architect themselves are uninvolved after the initial build.

It was certainly an interesting take.
