Alternate News Reader UIs

Alternate News Reader UIs 02/10/2004 03:02 AM

Here are some alternative news reader UI ideas to consider.  First two are usuable as is, but the rest require quite a bit of polishing and crafting before they can be useful.  I came up with them while I was sitting at a recent workshop after hearing the speaker complain about how boring existing news readers are.

Flashcard UI

News item are displayed on flashcards.  Background color, font size, and number of items per card (1-7), and transition effect should be configurable.  User can navigate forward or backward to next or previous set of headline.  Up or escape to wider view (list of news or sources) should be available.  Fullscreen-mode is essential.

Movie Credit Screen UI

Similar to Flashcard-style UI but visual presentation effects seen commonly in movie opening or closing credit screens are used.  UI should not emphasize more than one news item at one time.  For example, if news items fade or blur in and out then current candidate for further reading should be most noticeable.  Background music and entertaining audio ads can be be used simultaneously.  Again fullscreen-mode is essential.  Screensaver-mode is optional.

Video Game UI

Wild array of UIs are possible here including using news items as prizes, gates, or monsters.

Multiplayer UI

You can see what others are interested in using various UI schemes such as footprints, ranking, etc.

A refined version of these UI might fade in a transparent headline over the screen or in some assigned space for a 'while' when user hasn't moved the mouse or typed anything for certain amount of time.  Since most news one might read using a news reader aren't urgent, you can spread hundreds of headlines over the entire day instead of flooding the reader with large number of popups simultaneously like SharpReader does.

These ideas are just branches off a single idea: news readers as boob tubes for couch potatos.  Instead of overwelming the user with long list of articles and folders, turn it into a linear experience like the TV.  Press the power button to turn it on and just sit back until you see something you like and then press another button to dive in.  Add another button for fast-forward or switch the channel.

IETF News

IETF News 08/06/2004 02:57 AM
The IETF, despite the fact that it keeps the Internet running, doesn’t get much news coverage. I suspect that’s partly because its structure is pretty well 100% opaque and incomprehensible to outsiders (and it seems to not a few insiders, especially newbies like me). There’s actually no such organization as the IETF but there are (in alphabetical order) CNRI (who run the Secretariat) and Foretec and the Internet Architecture Board (IAB) and the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG) and the Internet Research Task Force and the Internet Society (ISOC) and the RFC Editor. Anyhow, there’s news. Big news, I think. Most of it I don’t understand and the parts that I do I may have been told in confidence. The fairly severe angst coming out of this spilled over into the Jabber channels from Thursday night’s plenary session. I think it may be as smooth and simple as the IETF trying to do the same thing more efficiently, or it could be a lot more complicated and ugly. Don’t ask me to explain it; but I think it matters.

UC Berkeley News Center gets an RSS feed

UC Berkeley News Center gets an RSS feed 04/09/2004 04:01 PM
For the first five years I lived in Berkeley, I might as well have lived in Turlock for all the contact I had with UC Berkeley. I lived my life in the tunnel zone of work, home and parenting, familiar to all working parents of small children. But last year, between fewer demands on the work front and the maturation of the youngest progeny, I finally emerged from that long tunnel, and resolved to begin making use of some of the resources available to me as someone who lives a mile away from the UC Berkeley campus. I began to attend seminars, took the progeny to Cal Day (highly recommended), and went and heard some of the many speakers who come to Cal every year (and wrote up my impressions of some of them). I have friends who teach at UC Berkeley, and they tell me that it is a very feudal organization, and each department is a fiefdom unto itself. My experience as a virtual and actual visitor certainly bears (pun intended) that out. It is as true when it comes to putting on events as everything else. Departments bring in speakers with national and international reputations, from fields as different as medicine, journalism, and business, but all too often they are only publicized by flyers and word of mouth within those departments. I started trying to make a habit of checking the online calendars for the Journalism School, the Hass School of Business, the Goldman School of Public Policy, Boalt Law School, and the School of Public Health on a regular basis to scope out upcoming events. One quick survey of the calendars confirmed the feudal nature of the institution -- each department's calendar is created with a different vendor's tool and uses a different format, and the frequently and accuracy of updates varies widely. I couldn't even find anything that looked like a useful calender on the totally lame website of the department closest to my professional interests, that of the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department. In spite of my best intentions, I didn't check the calendars that frequently, and all too often I would only find out about a speaker or interesting conference after it happened. Then I discovered UC Berkeley's Critic's Choice Calendar, which does a reasonable job of publicizing events on campus likely to be of wide interest. I decided to put together...

"Feed Your Reader" Firefox Feed
Extension

"Feed Your Reader" Firefox Feed
Extension 09/20/2004 10:22 AM

When Firefox add ed RSS support, I had mixed reactions. On the one hand, I was excited by the boost RSS would receive by being supported in a popular browser. But on the other hand, for obvious reasons I wasn't wild about how Firefox built RSS into the browser without enabling users to choose an external RSS reader.

So, I was glad when several FeedDemon customers talking about building an extension to enable FeedDemon to take advantage of the new Firefox RSS features.

Michael Koziarski rose to the challenge and created F eed Your Reader, a Firefox extension that enables you to subscribe to feed in FeedDemon - or any other RSS reader that supports the feed: // protocol. Which means that even though the extension was designed with FeedDemon in mind, it's not specific to FeedDemon. Initial tests show that it also works with NetNewsWire on the Mac.

Once this extension is installed, you'll see an additional "FYR" icon in Firefox's status bar right next to the existing RSS icon. Clicking the FYR icon displays a menu of auto-discovered feeds, and clicking one of these feeds will display FeedDemon's "New Channel" wizard to subscribe to it.

Details on Feed Your Reader are h ere, and the project page is here. If you're viewing this in Firefox, the download link to the XPI (extension) is here .

chunklets

Alternate history in bite-sized
chunklets 06/12/2004 03:56 PM
"Today in Alternate History" is a site that racks, in "today in history format," several alternate history timelines. It's nice skiffy narrative in bite-sized chunks:

in 1862, the Human League takes credit for a series of bombings against Mlosh citizens of Britain. The Crown vows to catch them, but there are sympathetic elements in Scotland Yard that slow the investigation.

in 1934, Pascal, LLC, with the assistance of Carla Lambert, persuaded Congress to fund a system of linking Eddies together such that they could share information constantly. Using telegraph lines and radio frequencies set aside for them by the Congress, Pascal constructed a Knowledge Railroad that made the almost instantaneous transmission of information possible across the nation.

in 1958, Buddy Holly reunited with his old band, The Crickets, for a successful US tour. This reunion produced such hits as I'll Be Lovin' Her, Puerto Rican Mama, and their remake of I'll Be Seeing You.

in 1977, President Reagan enacted sweeping tax cuts, mostly aimed at the well-to-do, but with some at lower ends of the economic spectrum. They didn't prove to be the stimulus he expected, though, and the nation plunged into a deep recession.

in 1982, King Charles of England called on all exiled nobles of England to return and take their rightful place at his side. He announced a general amnesty for those who had supported the Nazis, and declared that England would rise again to its former glory.

in 1992, filmmaker Oliver Stone releases JBR, in which he attempts to give credence to People's Attorney Presley's arguments that Comrade President Rosenberg was killed by a conspiracy rather than a lone counter-revolutionary. The film is a huge success, prompting the Communist Party to call for its banning.
