These are my links for May 31st through June 14th:

• jQuery Masonry · David DeSandro – Intriguing way to tesselate content areas. Better than CSS floats, David Desandro’s method minimizes empty areas caused by content area heights in the same row.
• One-Third of Twitter Users Talk Brands – eMarketer – There are a finite number of influencers in the social space who will _ever_ consider talking brand or products. As this plateau continues, the competition for a share of voice with these influencers will become more and more fierce. Better spend some time on creative social presence, and stop just pushing out coupons.
• BP buys oil spill PPC ads: Nice idea, poor execution | Econsultancy – Interesting use of PPC display ads as PR damage control. We’ve seen this done with AdWords, but display ads area an even louder (faster?) way to respond to negative press.
• Candid answers from AT&T on the new iPhone data plans – The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) – Everything you really need to know about the AT&T plans.
• An Author’s Plan for Social Media Efforts « [chrisbrogan.com] – Just change the word “book” to product or brand, and this post is a great how to guide for social influence marketing.

These are my links for February 5th through February 10th:

• iPhone Wire Frames – Graffletopia – iPhone UI design stencils for Omnigraffle
• How to build a website for the iphone with orientation detection | Engage Interactive Blog | Web design Harrogate -
• 50 Free UI and Web Design Wireframing Kits, Resources and Source Files -

According to CrunchGear, a new service called Pastebud (@pastebud)will be released tomorrow enabling copy and paste for iPhone. From what I can tell, it cleverly uses 2 Javascript bookmarks and a web service to store the clipping whilst you switch apps. Cool, and a great temporary fix while Apple figures out how to make this possible internally on the iPhone.

Wait, Pastebud is going to store, at least temporarily, all the little clippings we’re all copying. That means they are going to have access to stats about not only what pages we’re looking at, but the exact phrases we’re interested in. How ’bout that for a targeted marketing opportunity?

That kind of statistical detail is worth a lot to advertisers. I wonder if Pastebud will be account driven? Hmm. In any case, I’ll bet we see a some sort of “most copied” web site or report ala Google’s Zeitgeist which will be interesting, if not profitable for Pastebud.

Dobsons tool makes a photo icon for iPhone that dials

Jordan Dobson, one of the superstars over at Squad made a neat “iPhone Photo Dialer Icon Creator“.  Visiting this site on your iPhone lets you create an icon on the iPhone with a custom image (from the web).

Clicking the icon dials any phone number.  It does launch Safari and ask you if you want to call the number, but still nice work, Dobson.

Whoa.  To take a screenshot or screen capture of your iPhone display right now, simultaneously press the Power and Home buttons.  That’s the one on the top, and the big button on the face.  The image will be waiting in your photo gallery.  Nice.  Possibly only for 2.0 iPhone software users, not sure.

Thanks to Andy Ihnatko via Twitter for this.
