T-Hub webmail
This went live in recent days. A clean and simple webmail application for T-Hub that I designed and prototyped earlier in the year.

The next internet revolution will be on your TV
Mapping out recent internet evolution I personally think we're in the midst of the 3rd internet revolution and I'm wondering what the 4th might be. The current one (Web 3.0 if you like) is migration from the PC to other devices. Bought about by the migration from heavy specced desktops to netbooks, games consoles (increasingly internet/media devices), smartphones, iPads/tablets and next to TVs.
The following factors all indicate that the TV is the next big thing set for revolution, and a revolution in which Google TV is very much the tip of the iceberg:
The following factors all indicate that the TV is the next big thing set for revolution, and a revolution in which Google TV is very much the tip of the iceberg:- The big players lined up to merge internet and TV
- The cloud and thin client are now ready
- A growing preference for streaming over downloading, renting over owning. Watch once & discard.
- Disillusionment with a plethora of boxes and remotes by the TV
- HTML5 and upcoming browser based, thin client Chrome OS
- Set top box/games console/HDD recorder etc are ripe for abstraction to SAAS
- eCommerce went from PC to smartphone but its natural home is surely our TVs
- Skype-like services are already migrating to the TV
- The home network and multi-device homes are the norm
- The (Australian) Government is spending $43 billion on a National Broadband Network. What media needs fat pipes? HD Video. Where does HD video belong? The biggest screen in the house.

Facebook Caller Tones app
Been working on and off on design of this one for some time. It was released last week.
Caller Tones replace the ring-ring when your friends call you with something personal, like your favourite Kylie track.
Nice to see, 650 people have joined already and 139 have clicked like, plus some have given reviews with an average rating of 4.6 out of 5.

Recruiting users to recruit users
This is a great example of how to make friends and influence people.
Online storage solution Dropbox offers extra free space for recruiting a friend and gives both of you the free space. Not only that, it's done so well and made so easy with Facebook and Twitter integration plus retrieving contacts from Hotmail, Gmail etc.
