Responsive web design is the practice of building a website suitable to work on every device and every screen size, no matter how large or small, mobile or desktop. Responsive web design is focused around providing an intuitive and gratifying experience for everyone. Desktop computer and cell phone users alike all benefit from responsive websites.

One of the least-tapped areas of local business website optimization continues to be semantic markup. Semantic markup can increase chances that information from your website will be highlighted in search engine results pages via rich snippets, attracting greater attention and clickthroughs. So, read on and use this checklist to see if you’re exploiting all elements possible for your local business website.

Some dude thinks web browsers should be more like smartphone apps:

By [...] using custom-configured Web browsers (let's call them DesktopApps), we could address the Internet's inherent security flaws. These DesktopApps could be branded appropriately and designed to launch automatically to Bank of America's or Facebook's Web site, for example, and go no further. Like their mobile application cousins, these DesktopApps would not present an URL bar or anything else making them look like the Web browsers they are on the surface, and of course they would be isolated from one another. Within these DesktopApps, attacks such as XSS, CSRF, and clickjacking would become largely extinct because no cross-domain connections would be allowed—an essential precondition.

A spectacularly dumb idea. The whole point of the web is that we only need a browser to do (almost) anything. This guy would bring back the bad old days of having to install lots of single-purpose client apps on every computer.

Right now, there’s a mathematical symphony happening on your website.

Every single one of your readers is subconsciously aware of this symphony, and more important, they are all pre-programmed to respond to it in a particular way.

The question is this: Is your site’s symphony pleasing and inviting to your readers, or does it turn them off and make it harder to communicate with them?

At the end of the 1990s, Korea developed its own encryption technology, SEED, with the aim of securing e-commerce. Users must supply a digital certificate, protected by a personal password, for any online transaction in order to prove their identity. For Web sites to be able to verify the certificates, the technology requires users to install a Microsoft ActiveX plug-in.

...

It forced consumers to use Internet Explorer because it was the only browser ActiveX plug-ins were compatible with. By default, Web developers optimized not only banking and shopping Web sites for Internet Explorer, but all Web sites.

Unsurprisingly, this later caused all sorts of problems. And this, kids, is why "standardizing" on a vendor-specific solution, as opposed to an actual open standard, is an idiotic idea.

Currently, there aren’t any tools to grab all of the publisher-provided shorter URL in a standards-agnostic way. Tools that will grab either rev=”canonical” or rel=”shorturl”, but not both.

That’s where isshort.com comes in. isshort doesn’t care what URL shortening standard the publisher uses, it will find them all. This user-focused design will hopefully spur more sites and apps to provide their own short URLs.

...

Currently, isshort.com supports short URLs using the rel=”canonical”, rel=”shortlink”, and rel=”shorturl” standards.

Also, isshort shortens Amazon.com (amzn.com), YouTube (youtu.be), and NPR (n.pr) links.
