This list isn't necessarily up to date-for instance Smartsheet isn't listed but the ISO has already approved it-but it may be a place for us to keep an eye on in the future as we attempt to not reinvent the wheel/do original research when it comes to potential tools we could use

This is an interesting new twist on a boring old html function. It's so 2.0!

Today at Where 2.0 Pete Warden and I will announce the discovery that your iPhone, and your 3G iPad, is regularly recording the position of your device into a hidden file. Ever since iOS 4 arrived, your device has been storing a long list of locations and time stamps. We're not sure why Apple is gathering this data, but it's clearly intentional, as the database is being restored across backups, and even device migrations.

This is not a ground-breaking site but there are a handful of things they're doing well that demonstrate how much simpler/better our design could be: 1. It's a visually interesting and attractive site without resorting to images sprinkled randomly throughout content. Each images has a home and a purpose. (We've got to move away from treating the web like a print layout where we allow our content folks to intersperse text with images) 2. The text on pages is structured well and utilizes nicely-styled headings and bulleted lists to make it easy to scan/digest lots of content. I also like how the B/W Feature images on the homepage become full color on hover. A nice touch. Also, nice use of white space to avoid overwhelming.
