CommandShift3, the battle continues

Friday, January 16th, 2009

There are useful things you can do with your time or you can visit Command-Shift-3 and get addicted the same way cracking salty sunflower seeds with your teeth are addictive. When you visit the site, you are presented with two random sites side-by-side, one-on-one and you click on the one you like the best. That’s it! That site wins the “battle”. Then you are presented with the next randomly selected pair of sites, or “battle”, and you keep selecting until you get tired of it. We submitted our site to the repository from which the random sites are drawn from sometime ago and so far we have won 2 out of 2  battles. Does not sound like much but given the fact that there are nearly 16,000 sites in the repository these 2 battles put us on the top 50%. So far we have never encountered our site in a battle ourselves but if we ever do, we wouldn’t taint the results by clicking on it. Wanna battle it out?

Guerilla Innovation

Friday, January 16th, 2009

How exciting! GUERRILLA INNOVATION which we like to visit for design news, actually talked about us! Feels a little like hearing someone you like talk about you ;) The interesting thing is how this particular post contrasted ALBINO to a product from Marks and Spencer and said “… Marks & Spencer have a similar product. However, Albino is solely focused on one kind of product and they’ve managed to create a unique and personal universe around it.” We would like to add that Marks & Spencer shirts do not have a stabilising backing like ours, are offered in one design not over 70 and finally you don’t get the range of the 22 colours ALBINO T-shirts offer.

Thanks Guerillas, we promise to work on adult sizes too!
