Design principles and the evolution of Plus<\/b><\/p>\n

Really interesting article on how the new look of Plus+ came about. I'm not sure I'm recognizing all the elements described in the article as being successfully implemented in this go round, but some interesting theories at play. Cards, play, get it? \ud83d\ude09\u00a0<\/p>\n

I was wondering why some pictures blew out across multiple columns — I'll have to play with this a bit to see if it is really context sensitive to whom or what subject matter it thinks is important to me.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And lastly, I've noticed most people only mentioning two\u00a0columns, which was what my "new" look had initially. I tried this after seeing a reference in the article — if you have a big monitor and spread your browser out, you get yet more columns of stream.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Still, as +<\/span>Dave Hill<\/a><\/span>, observed, it would have been nice to have provided users with more design\/format control as well. I'd really<\/b><\/i> like to be able to insert bulleted or numbered lists and perhaps some control of indent to indicate quotation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
