Fun-to-Share Links for Web Nerds

By Chrissie Brodigan

Hey there,

It’s Friday, so this roundup is devoted to all things “interesting!”(apologies in advance, today the web was aflutter with most things iPad.)

Some links are newsworthy and others just meet our “awesomeness” requirement, and regardless we think you’ll enjoy them:

• Apple Launches iBookstore (via Mashable)
• A study about how users use Firefox, visualizing usage of the menu bar
• Gmail releases an experimental user interface for the iPad built on the Gmail for mobile HTML5 web app that we launched last year for the iPhone and Android devices (via Google Mobile Blog)
• One of the most badass 13 year olds ever (via @bpapa)
• Freelance economy! Grace Smith adds more kick-ass freelancing resources to the Freelance Feed

Wildcard: Kid Robot launches Kid Robot Europe!

Let us give you link love! Send your links to news@thinkvitamin.com

Handpicked by,

  You’ve got some serious destruction on this page. The link to the “badass 13 year old” does not work (has the URL twice in the href) and the comment block goes across the whole page (screen shot here: http://cl.ly/8yQ).

  Otherwise, killer stuff! Thanks!

  Ah, the comment box fixed itself. Apparently if there is not enough content in the blog post to push the box down, it wraps underneath the sidebar. Makes sense.

  Thanks again!

  Thanks, we know about this. We definitely need to fix it. We have added a bunch of stuff in the sidebar lately that caused the issue. Thanks for reminding us :)
