Fast Company takes a look at the growing trend towards simplification with the article The Beauty of Simplicity.
With Google’s extraordinary trajectory and the stratospheric success of Apple’s iPod--itself a marvel of simplicity and, with 20 million units sold, a staggering hit--we seem to be nearing a seminal moment.

In my opinion, at least one newspaper is starting to get it. The Washington Post recently opened up it’s content for others to remix, or mashup. They’ve launched a blog called Post Remix to showcase the mashups people come up with, using the Post’s content. My favorite is Ripped From the Headlines, a daily quiz, generated from the day’s headlines.
I hope it’s successful and we start seeing other major papers follow their lead. Congratualtions Washington Post!

On a daily basis, 74 million Americans use email and 60 million use search engines. This new search engine statistic represents a 55 percent increase over figures from just a year ago (see ClickZ article, also).

A story from eMarketer now confirms that the Web has moved into second place as the favorite shopping venue for holiday consumers. The study was commissioned by Deloitte.
Consumers were asked to name their favorite shopping venue. Discount department stores were the number one response at 57 percent, but the Internet was a strong second at 44 percent. The Internet edged out traditional department stores which were named by 42 percent of respondents. As the article points out, it was only 20 years ago that traditional department stores were named by 67 percent as the favorite place to do holiday shopping. Things have changed a great deal.
The article tracks 15 retail destination categories in compiling their favorites list.
