Thanks for a great semester
Another semester of CommunITP ("Creating Community Environments") at NYU's ITP graduate program has come to a close.
For more information about the course, watch this space. And you can contact the professor, Kristen Taylor, by emailing her at her first name at kthread dot com.
We'll continue reblogging here as we find more posts about our favorite topics of community, storytelling, narrative, and content experiments.
Here we are, the new Fall 2011 CommunITP class.
Look for more here soon.
Etsy - Amazon.com for the truly independent
The main issue with exploring Etsy is you inevitably buy something from Etsy.
2 quick purchasing thoughts.
1. I've wanted a vinyl sticker for my computer for a year and a half, but I'm horribly chicken about these sorts of things. I believe I found one. But there's still something holding me back. *UPDATE* No More! I needed confirmation from an IRL friend to help me get over my initial hesitance.
Zombie Snow White
Again, I almost purchased a bag from mariclaro but I need a backpack, not a messenger bag...
2. I originally wanted the Snow White with Kerchief look, but when I looked recently, I saw that 3 or 4 stores were selling the exact same thing. Awwwwwwkward. How do you control that in a hand crafted environment? You could easily find out who sold it first and block all the others, but they haven't...

Overall Analysis
The site is very clean and remarkably devoid of advertisements considering the state of the web these days. I think that the side panel could be utilized better. For example, I need to click to another page to see a fancy visualization to find out 'how many people heart this shop' That's wasted time and a chance for me to lose focus. The shop overall is a bit standoffish and could benefit from some warmth. Perhaps skeumorphic choices from mom and pop stores would help bring people in.
