Gui Boratto – No Turning Back - http://www.last.fm/music...
I’ve been using GimmeBar since it was launched.

I’ve been using GimmeBar since it was launched. And I have to say that: it has been impressing me from the very first day, really, from the registration form to the authentication flow, from the first page grabbed to the first automatic-delivery-backup-to-drop-box of my instagram pics. They’ve made a strong product, even though they are just a one year old startup, these guys rocks.   
 
I was looking for something to help me organize screenshots of user interface patterns, but no product out there filled my personal requirements. Pinterest has a innate social model, and it’s more about curation around topics for the community and consuming content in a structured manner than something to keep for myself. Spool, an Instapaper with steroids, is awesome to collect media and consume later, but still don’t fit my needs because it wasn’t made to organize collections. Flickr is powerful but, to be honest, it’s outdated. 
 
I needed something easy to mantain, easy to consume, something that become part of my daily routine without to much effort, something that could be both public and private, when I want, something that just works.
 
Then I found GimmeBar, a simple personal board for everything, created by a Brooklyn based startup. This product lets you extract both snippets, like a video or a tweet, and also complete screenshots from a webpage quickly through a bookmarklet placed on your browser. You just press the buttom, chose between the public firehose and private stash, give it a description, hashtags and also add collections if you want and push! Then the content will be available directly on your board, pictorially organized, easy to recover. Plus, they delivery an automatic backup from webapps like delicious and instagram to your dropbox.
 
I use it to organize UI patterns, and it’s definetely my primary use case, but not the only one. Now and then I spent some time going through new shots collected by friends and the public collections from others. For that, they offer a tab called ‘Discovery’, which bothers me, because features like: “notable collections”, “new from friends”, “people you know” and “stellar people” are also about “Discovery” and they are not hierarchically beneath that label, and doesn’t need to be. But it’s not a major issue, the whole user experience is actually great.
 
I strongly recommend it if you want to keep content to inspire yourself, to curate any kind of content, to collect material for a research, to make wishlists, to save bookmarks, or whatever. Try it now: gimmebar.com

Anatomy of a Design Decision - Jared Spool
 
How does we decide which are the best approach for a problem? When do you know which is time to go out and make a field research before proceed on a project? How do you consider inputs from stakeholders and usability research outputs? Should I focus on users or just keep designing for myself until I get satisfied with it? A great design is a consequence of high quality decisions. On this presentation Jared go through the decision making process of great designers and demystify the different styles of design decisions: unintentional, self, genius, activity focused and experience focused design.
 
You will see that depending on the situation one style works best than another, for example if you’re designing a product for a domain you’ve never worked before, the best approach must be apply a activity focused design, identifying users and their activities. On the other hand if you’re designing a product for a domain which you’ve previously learned what users needs are, so the genius design style should fits better.
 
Above all the most important is make informed design decisions and avoid rule based decisions that relies on unquestioned faith independent of any support evidence.
