Continuing my earlier post on Big Board and Your Personal Stock
Search
The Big Board search interface is meant to provide a quick access search for a lot of different items. The search isn’t intended to be a Beagle or Tracker or desktop search replacement, it’s actually just intended to quickly search a small subset of handy items.
The system is heavily inspired from quicksilver and what the deskbar team has done, therefore we pretty much took the deskbar applet wholesale and placed it on Big Board. Currently we haven’t changed much of what the deskbar is doing other than changing it’s default search plugin set. But you figure the basics of application and web searching are included already, so lets not focus on that right now.
Searching You and Your Friends
Right now Big Board is setting what systems deskbar is searching by default, however we’re planning to dynamically change what search plugins should be available. Because the people in your Mugshot network have specified what online applications they use we can make the big board search adapt to search across those applications as well as your own.
Through these brave internet people you could search awesome photos and bookmarks and recommendations
With the current deskbar code base it’s a bit of a hack to have this working, we are pretty much shoving settings down deskbar’s throat. Hopefully lots of these issues will be cleared up when the code is worked on over the summer, thanks to the Google Summer of Code project.
Example
Here’s an example of how it could work. Lets say between myself and my friends we use a mix of these accounts listed.
- Flickr
- Delicious
- And blogs…
Mix of integrated results from different peoples public systems
When I search using the Big Board search I can get results from all of those accounts even though I might not have a twitter account myself. The search runs over not only my online accounts, but the publicly available online accounts of my friends.
Enhance Your Network of Resources
A little while back tigert posted how searching delicious gave better results than searching for “free fonts” on google. This is in part because delicious is a strong network of anonymous people who are interested in bookmarking good sites.
Now take that idea of a strong network of anonymous people and make that network stronger by making them not anonymous. You still have the ability to search the anonymous world, but why not use your different levels of connections through different types of networks to build some kind of trust, at least a greater trust than you’d get from the anonymous internet.

Hints, Tips And Tricks For Web Design Part 1: Beyond The Visual
When people hear the word “design” they often think only of the visualp aspect; what something looks like. However, visual design is just one part of the web design process. In fact, the visual design element of some projects usually only accounts for a small percentage of the work. Web design does of course involve a strong visual side, but it also requires design of the interaction between the site and the user. This post addresses not just what a site looks like, but how it behavse and how it is organised.
