Stuff spellcheck, this is the useful bit of the new feature.

Welcome to Pictory! External link

I love photography. Few things make me happier than a beautiful image—online or in print. That said, I’ve become a little complacent about some photos. The Internet is brimming with eye candy, but the vast majority of these images have lost their original context. Photo credits are rare and captions usually garbled, so I find myself often wondering: Who made this? What does it mean? The forces of the Internet can sometimes turn good work into confusing shrapnel. I hope to do the opposite with Pictory. I want to collect images and stories directly from their sources: the people who create them. And then I want to make the best work that much better by editing, proofing, and compiling submissions into glossy online showcases. Big images. Careful details. Practical design. Credit and context. Maybe it’s a new model for online magazines. Or, maybe it’s just the best I can do from my living room.
Nice idea and so far nicely executed. via @litherland

The New York Times Skimmer External link

The application is an alternative interface to the remarkable content on NYTimes.com, offering users the ability to flip though the site’s sections and quickly pull up articles. The Times blogs are also available, as are topic views such as swine flu, global warming, and — of course — bacon. Besides being a great user experience, the Skimmer is also an example of a smart web app. Lead developer Andre Behrens told us he made use of many HTML5 features in the browsers that support them, including off-line storage for speedier loading and visual effects like CSS transitions.

matthewb: Big news overnight is the launch of Square, a mobile app supporting multiple devices that enables anyone to take credit card transactions without the hassle of merchant accounts or complicated fee structures. It’s the brainchild of Twitter inventor Jack Dorsey and with the likes of Buzz Andersen involved, it’s going to be huge. Impeccable website design by Bobby Andersen.
