Who Should You Unfollow on Twitter?

Eric Snowden — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 19:00:32 +0000

There are dozens of sites that tell you who to follow, but the most useful Twitter tool I’ve found in months tells you who to unfollow. Manage Flitter analyzes the people you follow on Twitter and allows you to select and batch unfollow based on criteria you set. You can analyze who doesn’t follow you back, who doesn’t have a profile image, people who haven’t tweeted in a month, people who tweet more than five times a day and people who tweet less than once a day. After creating your list you can filter out verified and popular users so you don’t accidentally delete Shaq or Fake Steve Jobs.

Mackintosh Braun & Christina Perri Website Launches

Eric Snowden — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 16:05:13 +0000

This week the team launched new websites for Christina Perri (of So You Think You Can Dance fame) and Mackintosh Braun. Christina Perri was designed in house by Edith Levin and built at Atlantic by James DeBlasse, and Mackintosh Braun was designed by Ian Foster and built by the WEA D2C team. Two very distinct and different looks for two up and coming Atlantic artists. Congrats to everyone at Atlantic and WMG who worked on these two launches.

Elektra 60th Anniversary and the Elektra.com Relaunch

Eric Snowden — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 19:00:45 +0000

Last week we quietly relaunched the Elektra website, our first label website built on Cisco’s EOS platform. The site relaunch is in conjunction with the 60th anniversary of the label and was a massive content undertaking for the digital marketing and content teams. Artists from the label’s entire run (over 100 in all) are featured on the site and in the Elektra 60th timeline, a visual history of the label designed and built by our friends at Rokkan.

Free Web UI Sources

Mashable has collected 10 sets of great UI templates for Photoshop, Illustrator and Omnigraffle. These sets include everything from icons, to skin-able vector buttons, to browser specific form elements that can really speed up the prototyping process. The posts get a little redundant if you go through the entire list, but there are definitely some gems if you dig a little.

Open Screen Project

Eric Snowden — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 21:52:37 +0000

This may have been up for a while, but it’s new to me. We’ve been working closely with Adobe for a few years on their multi-screen initiatives and are now officially a member of the Open Screen Project. Were listed among some pretty impressive partners and are glad to be part of the project.

In addition to this, we are part of a concept video on the OSP homepage. The first video in the carousel titled “Fun with Friends” includes a conceptual mockup of what our AIR Application Fanbase could look like in the future. It’s just a concept at this point, but is fun to see. The folks at Adobe did an amazing job putting this together.

Back from Vacation

Eric Snowden — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 21:52:52 +0000

Back to regular blogging after a week on a beach at Fire Island. We found an amazing house in Fair Harbor just a few blocks off the beach (like everything on the island) and had a great time eating, reading in the sun, and playing Kadima with our housemates. After one restaurant to choose from, two sunburns, and a Tina Fey sighting I’m ready to be back in Brooklyn. Three exciting projects launched while I was gone (talk about timing) and I’ll be posting links and details in the next few weeks.
