Introduce yourself to the brand new TUAW!
Do you love TUAW? Well, we do, and not just cause we're legally obligated to cherish our sister (site). If you haven't seen her lately you should stop by and say "hi." She's sporting an entirely new look -- you'll love what she's done with her nav bar -- and picked up a few interesting new features like the ability to sort by platform and a carousel that automatically alerts you to updated posts (quite handy for stalking the Apple Store when it goes down). Don't let that Beta tattoo fool you though, TUAW 3.0 isn't fickle, she won't change her mind at the drop of a turtleneck or ditch design changes willy nilly -- these are big improvements and there's a lot more to come. So go, reintroduce yourself, and catch up on what's new with TUAW at the source link.
TUAW's iPhone app: it's alive
If you love TUAW, iPhones, and apps (and let's be honest... you do), then today should be filled with wonderment and excitement. Why you ask? Because our homeboys and girls over at The Unofficial Apple Weblog have released their very own iPhone app -- and it's pretty darn slick. If you know what's good for you, you'll get to downloading it right now. It's what Steve Jobs would want you to do. Read - TUAW's post on the app Read - iTunes link
Happy 5th birthday (plus or minus a few months) TUAW!
While writing up a short post about Wolfram|Alpha yesterday, I decided to test the service by entering a few domain names to see what kind of results I would get. I typed in TUAW.com and Macworld.com, and was pleased to see a comparison of daily hit statistics, but what really surprised me was to find that the TUAW.com domain went online on June 16th, 2004. That, of course, makes us five years old today!We contacted Scott McNulty and Laurie Duncan, two former TUAW editors, who filled us in on some details. The first "soft launch" TUAW post was actually made on January 27, 2004 by Jason Calacanis -- it has survived a number of design changes and can be viewed here. One of the earliest examples of real-world content is Sean Bonner's post here. So is Wolfram Alpha wrong? Not precisely: those early posts appeared under the "apple.weblogsinc.com" domain, which later migrated to TUAW.com. What's happened in those five short years? The switch to Intel processors, Tiger, Leopard, the iPod nano, shuffle, and touch, and a little something called the iPhone. It's been a lot of fun for all of the bloggers who have been involved, and we hope that TUAW has been and will continue to be among your favorite sources for Apple news.I'm curious -- what changes do you think we'll see in the next five years?
