Storify has a new design… looks familiar.
The number of generic top-level domains (gTLDs) — the “.com” or “.net” part of website addresses — is about to expand.

If you’re a web developer, on a Mac, and you’re not using Coda, what’s wrong with you? Anyway, Today Panic announced Coda 2, the long anticipated update to its highly popular web development app. With several new features and long awaited support for MySQL, Coda aims to maintain its place as the preferred app for web developers.
Speaking of which, Panic also announced Diet Coda, an iPad app that works together with Coda 2, which lets you take web development on the go. As John Gruber said, it’s the best named iPad app ever.
When people read news and features on electronic media, they expect stories to possess the linky-ness of the Web, but stories in apps didn’t really link. The apps were, in the jargon of information technology, “walled gardens,” and although sometimes beautiful, they were small, stifling gardens. For readers, none of that beauty overcame the weirdness and frustration of reading digital media closed off from other digital media.
Last fall, we moved all the editorial in our apps, including the magazine, into a simple RSS feed in a river of news. We dumped the digital replica. Now we’re redesigning Technologyreview.com, which we made entirely free for use, and we’ll follow the Financial Times in using HTML5, so that a reader will see Web pages optimized for any device, whether a desktop or laptop computer, a tablet, or a smart phone. Then we’ll kill our apps, too.
The rise of content aggregators and curators are reducing the amount and value of original content on the web. A number of publishers are getting together to handle this issue by coming up with a code of conduct for those whose practice aggregation and or curation. Essentially they’re formulating some sort of ethics code so publishers and reader would equally recognize or be made aware of original works as there is a growing concern of websites not linking back to or attributing original sources.
