Rebelmouse wants to take advertisers’ social content and turn that into an ad unit for publishers.An Internet truism: banner ads are ugly and they don’t work. But brands are now tapping into that catch-all phrase called content marketing, and Rebelmouse thinks it can serve as the officiant between marrying advertising content and publishers’ monetization woes.
Led by former Huffington Post CTO Paul Berry, the one-year-old social tool aims to turn a brand’s social feeds into an ad unit that benefits brands and publishers. Berry’s argument: Brands now create better content on social platforms than they do for display ads, and publishers can take advantage by turning a brand’s social content into an ad unit. Sounds lovely, but publishers say while they like using Rebelmouse for specific events, the jury’s still out in regards to making money.

Spent some time today redesigning the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon Tumblr.
“Effector”: great Tumblr theme, or greatest Tumblr theme.
You know what drives me crazy? It’s all these people talking about how great technology is, and how it saves all this time. But, what good is saved time, if nobody uses it? If it just turns into more busy work. You never hear somebody say, ‘With the time I’ve saved by using my word processor, I’m gonna go to a Zen monastery and hang out.’ I mean, you never hear that.
On a web project, user-centered design means that the final product must meet real user needs and fulfill real human desires. In practical terms, it also means that the days of designing a site map to mirror an org chart are over.

The Oxford English Dictionary accepts both pronunciations. They are wrong. It is a soft ‘G,’ pronounced ‘jif.’ End of story.
Steve Wilhite, the creator of the GIF, chiming in on the pronunciation of the word. (As everyone knows, choosy memes choose “jif.”) Wilhite, a former CompuServe employee, created the format in 1987 and is to receive an award for his creation tonight. (via shortformblog)
One of the best part of the Webbys last night was joining in the active booing of the soft ‘G’ pronunciation.
