zoomMaking PicFog safer for work
Just think about the proposition: PicFog shows pictures from twitter as they’re posted. Anything smells funny? Sure it does, if you have more than two months of internet experience. If we show every single picture from twitter, some of the pictures will be very likely inappropriate, disturbing, disgusting or just not pleasing to the eye.
What does it mean in practice?
In practice, it means that roughly a minute after you open up the site in the live flow mode, you will see something ugly. I can almost guarantee.
On the other hand, if you’re searching for a keyword or location, you’re getting what you’re searching for - if you’re searching for nice and pretty things, you’ll get nice and pretty results.
But the issue is, whenever you want to start to picfog for nice and pretty things, you first have to type in PicFog.com - which shows all the pictures from twitter as they’re uploaded. After a minute: bang, a genital. Not nice, not pretty.
So here’s the solution to make PicFog a workplace-friendlier site.
From now on, whenever someone first visits picfog.com, they’ll be welcomed with this screen. Two options - if you don’t mind seeing ugly pictures for the experience of keeping your finger on the pulse of the universe, you can do that. But if you are a bit fainter-hearted, you have the option to see just the search box - and get results for exactly what you’re searching for, without the occasional cock on your screen.

This is a fun one with type coercion. It comes from John Resig’s explanation here:

zoomBetter location search on PicFog
From now on, you can search for location and keyword at the same time. For example you can see what are cabs like in New York at the moment (snowy at the moment). Or you can have a look at the news in London. To boarden the search, you can change the radius or remove the keyword (or the location) criterium by clicking at the little x next to it.

Kublax goes into administration

“Dear Kublax Customer


It is with great regret that we announce the closure of our service as we have been forced to take the business into administration. Over the course of the last 6 months we have been trying hard to raise funding which would have allowed us to launch our enhanced new product and develop our offering further. Unfortunately we now have to admit defeat. 

We are sorry that we have not been able to repay your trust in Kublax and particularly disappointed not to be able to launch the new enhanced version of the service which was being shaped to a very large extent by your Feedback on the current service. 

Kublax’s partner, Yodlee, will be deleting all user data, including online banking details from its servers. Once deleted no further information will be gathered and stored for Kublax customers. Your transactional data will also be completely erased from our servers by close of business on Friday 19th February. We will not pass your data on to any third parties. 

If you wish to contact Sridhar or I you can reach us at the following email address - kublaxenquiry@googlemail.com

Many thanks again for your support and we hope that Kublax was able to help you make slightly better sense of your finances over the last year or so. 

Tom and Sridhan”
