Do More Work

Seth Godin:

You don’t work on an assembly line any more. You work in project world, and more projects mean more chances to screw up, to learn, to make a reputation and to have more impact.

Tacking this one to my bulletin board right… now.

Distraction-Free Tweeting

Hot on the heels of today’s post, here’s a look at Wren, a new Mac app that lets you do just one thing… tweet. Watch the promo video, it’s so good.

I Thought You Said iPads Aren’t Mobile

Here comes Facebook’s iPad app… finally. I guess Mark Zuckerberg changed his mind.

Came across this a while back and then stumbled on it again today. Hilarious.

Subtle Patterns, Obvious Excellence

Excellent idea. Can’t wait to see how this resource grows in the future.

Seth Godin’s Summer Reading 2011

So glad he included Today We Are Rich by Tim Sanders. Best book I’ve read all year.

Snap Out of It!

Advice from Tim Sanders: Give yourself a mood crutch or just fake-it-till-you-make-it.

We all have those days when we just wake up on the wrong side of the bed, or we’re just not in the right mindset for what we’ve got going. Tim offers five strategies for dealing with it.

I’m going to memorize this list.

Now Live: The Basecamp Calendar

37signals:

We’ve been listening. Over the past few months we’ve been hard at work building out this top customer request. Today we’re proud to release the brand new Basecamp calendar. The “Milestones” has been replaced with the “Calendar” tab in your projects and on the Dashboard.

Why?

Jon Acuff:

Why was I tweeting that? Why was I writing that and sharing that thought with people? What was my real motive behind that simple sentence?

An excellent reminder that it’s not just what we’re sharing that matters.

Apple’s ‘Reading List’ Could Be a Good Thing for Instapaper

Marco Arment’s thoughtful and optimistic take on Instapaper‘s future, written in light of Apple’s recent announcement of ‘Reading List’ functionality, to be included in Safari for Lion and iOS 5:

When iOS 5 and Lion ship, Apple will show a much larger percentage of iOS-device owners that saving web pages to read later is a useful workflow and can dramatically improve the way they read.

If Reading List gets widely adopted and millions of people start saving pages for later reading, a portion of those people will be interested in upgrading to a dedicated, deluxe app and service to serve their needs better. And they’ll quickly find Instapaper in the App Store.

I’ll probably try out Reading List, but it would have to be amazing to replace Instapaper in my workflow. It’s just too useful, and I’m accustomed to using it everywhere (iPhone, iPad, Mac).

Keep up the great work, Marco.
