I haven’t been uploading new work in a while for two main reasons. First, although I am wrapping up a couple of great product design projects (we go to tooling next month, most likely), they’re still very much under NDA, and therefore off limits. Have no doubt that I’ll be bragging my ass off about them once I’m able.
Second, I’ve been up to my eyeballs in Coroflot, which is in the midst of a fascinating but occasionally painful metamorphosis. Sort of like coaxing a butterfly from its chrysalis, but in this case it’s a social networking platform emerging from an enormous portfolio-hosting and job search site with 10 years of legacy attached to it. Fantastically exciting stuff, but slow and fraught with difficulty.
If you haven’t been there in a bit, it’s worth a check: we’ve got image bookmarking in the form of the “Me Likey” system, which a few enthusiastic users are running with at a rapid clip; there’s also a micro-blogging system that will eventually interface with your Twitter, Facebook, FriendFeed, etc feeds; and a completely new, image-oriented browsing system that lets users jump from project to project in search of new work — much of which doesn’t show up anywhere else on the web. Some of this requires (free) membership on the site, so I can’t link to it, but there is a detailed What’s New page that outlines the updates pretty clearly. More to come, too — trust me.
