Phone texting reveals sensitive new “metrotextual” by Reuters

  • Posted by: Eric Small
  • on November 4, 2009 at 12:25 am

I’m so not in this generation apparently but this is hilarious and a sign of the brilliant future of openness bound to come as these youths come of age.

“Men have become so openly affectionate with each other using mobile technology they’ve taken to signing off text messages to male friends with a kiss (x), … [being] dubbed ‘Metrotextuals.’”

What is GOOD Engineering Doing for You (vol 4)

  • Posted by: Eric Small
  • on October 1, 2009 at 5:20 pm

Well, by now you’ve certainly noticed our new “header”.  Hopefully you love it as much as we do?!  The mission statement is one of my favorite features — the line just to the right of the large GOOD logo.

There’s actually so much in the latest that I’m not sure where to even begin.  We have new category pages — around topics like the Environment, Politics, and Cities.  We have a new site map in the…

What is GOOD Engineering Doing for You (vol 3)

  • Posted by: Eric Small

Hi again.  So soon already?  Yup!  Exciting stuff too.

As always, today’s goodies aren’t really just the work of the GOOD engineering team, but I get to share them nonetheless.  As you read on, just keep in mind that engineering is fronted by some great designers, strategists, product folks, and writers (though photo graininess and grammatical errors herein are purely mine).

First, you may already have noticed a little birdie up in the top left (if not,…

After much internal debate a GOOD web experiment is under way.  Now is your turn to chime in with your thoughts.

Some of our recent Transparency posts now include two viewing options:

  1. The original style, a large image, with the image at full scale initially.  Some scrolling is necessary to take in the full thing for mortals without a 2400px widescreen monitor.  An example is at http://awesome.good.is/transparency/web/0908/cashforclunkers/flat.html
  2. A new style, built on Flash, with the image scaled to…

What’s GOOD Engineering Doing for You (vol 1)

Hey all!

First, a little self introduction.  I recently joined GOOD as the VP of Product Engineering and I’m excited to say…it’s fantastic.  It’s been almost two months and I’m happy to report that things are starting to happen.

As you may have noticed, the GOOD Community Board is now moderated!  It’s called the Community Board now, instead of the Community Blog, but most importantly, we’re now keeping the spammers away so you can read the GOOD…

The United States Is a Food Wasteland

I saw that news about SF earlier too.  It’s amazing that they’re attempting to be 100% land-fill free by 2020.  That will be an awesome thing if the whole world can get with that.  Then our only issue will be nuclear waste.
