I am working on the SEO for a site about Irish fine art prints called perquisites. We have changed the website to have a faster loading front page and changed the title and meta tags to reflect what the website is about. Working with different projects is always interesting and it will be interesting to see if we can get this website to rank higher on Google.

I found this tip about a tip to align the form text field and submit button it seems to work.

The new Google Chrome OS is an opertating system that is just for accessing the interenet. It is said to have a 7 second boot time and everything works through the browser, so everything is stored and runs online.  While not for everyone it does make sense for people who just want to use the internet with their laptop for example. Watch the video below.

Here is a video of me playing with the new augmented reality technology

When it comes to designing coming soon webpages you want to make sure that you have something up on the domian that looks professional but also do not want to spend too much time and money on something that will be replaced.

Smashing magazine have an article looking at various coming soon pages with some good examples. One thing that you may want to consider is having a signup for more information form, also a brief description about what is coming soon.

The points are:

1) Tell us what to expect.

2) Provide updates (email signup)

3) Create some intrguige

4) Rembmer SEO

Here is a video that shows what augmented reality could bring to video games and actual life interaction.

This talk from Pattie Maes about how they are testing new ways of interacting with the world has a glimpse of what future human computer interation could be like.

Who says that mouse and keyboard are the only ways to interact with a website. I found an interesting website project today that had interaction via a webcam. It was a small game for Criss Angel.

Heres how it worked. You print a page off hold it up to your webcam and then, you could use it to move a projection that is on the website. You probably need to go have a look at it. Here the video from the guys who made it.

Criss Angel Augmented Reality Game from Circ.us on Vimeo.

It show that thinking outside the box can produce some interesting results. It’s worth thinking about how other interactions could be used, for example speech or sounds, or other webcam video methods.
