We're thinking,

Watch any news pro­gram and you’ll hear sta­tis­tics about Amer­ica hav­ing fallen behind most other indus­tri­al­ized coun­tries in mat­ters of heath, edu­ca­tion, and tech­nol­ogy. But I can think of one area in which we excel—creative services.

Pitch to enough clients of a cer­tain size and even­tu­ally you’re going to be asked to sign a stan­dard­ized con­tract or NDA. Usu­ally it comes from a large client with a team of lawyers who burry you in page after page of terms which are so one-​​​​sided it’s becomes laughable.

Dear Foursquare, it’s over between us. We’ve been at this four months and our test run of location-​​​​based ser­vices has been, well, unspec­tac­u­lar. After oscil­lat­ing between the Foursquare and Gowalla clients (both of which we found to be very flaky) we’ve seen lit­tle pay of for the poten­tial mar­ket­ing (and stalker) info we’ve provided.

Seri­ous Twit­ter users know you need to change more than just link col­ors to trans­form Twit­ter into a branded mar­ket­ing tool—the Twit­ter back­ground can become a key expres­sion of a brand. Whether you’re new to Twit­ter or just never both­ered tak­ing the time to cre­ate a cus­tom back­ground now is the per­fect time to have a go at it.

Every now and then we notice a trend in fonts or notice a cer­tain face show­ing up every time we flip a page or load a link. One such font to recently start pop­ping up on the web—and in our local cof­fee shops flyers—is Museo. It’s a dis­tinc­tive and con­tem­po­rary semi-​​​​slab serif which makes for highly-​​​​legible headlines.
