Comments about 12-Piece Family Tree Frame Set:
Nice frame set for the price! Beware of the photo though. The smallest frames only have hangers for hanging them vertically even though the picture shows them both ways. Also the the branches, trunk, and word family were difficult to hang without the hanger and nails being exposed. It took some doing hanging it up, but in the end it look very nice.

No easy answers to valuing a startup, but unbiased advice should help
Blog Entry:
May 22, 2013 4:30 AM | Author: DOMINIC M. BRAULT
Dominic M. Brault is a managing director at
Carleton McKenna & Co. LLC
, a boutique investment bank. Dominic advises public and private companies across many industries on valuation, mergers and acquisitions, and capital raising.
Given the rapid development of the Midwest venture ecosystem, the question — how do you value a startup? — is now commonly posed by local entrepreneurs, investors and advisers, among others. The answers vary widely since valuation of an early-stage company is absolutely more art than science.
In most instances, the entrepreneur wants to support a high valuation based on "goodwill" and the prospective opportunity, while an investor wants an appropriate valuation relative to their risk/return requirements and the reality of the frequency of failure. Although the market ultimately decides what the company is worth, a third-party, unbiased assessment from an investment bank, accounting firm or lawyer can help in most situations.
The science
: There are several widely accepted approaches to valuing companies, such as the income approach, market approach and asset approach. Each one of these traditional methodologies can be used, although they are tough to employ for startup companies, since many startups are pre-revenue with zero to few predictable earnings. As a result, standard techniques applied to estimate cash flows, growth rates and discount rates may yield unreliable conclusions, and market comparisons can be difficult due to the absence of an operating history and divergences in risk and growth profiles.
Additionally, the cost to recreate the business ("smart money" would pay no more for an asset than its replacement cost) may not come close to justifying the "ask" due to "goodwill" (aka, the prospective opportunity and intangible assets) — a concept appropriate for revenue-positive companies. As a result, alternative approaches, such as the Venture Capital Method, are also utilized.
In the Venture Capital Method, step one is: Develop a reasonable set of financial projections, supported by the expectation of market size, adoption rates, pricing, volume, cost per sale and required overhead, etc. Step two: Calculate a future value of the total enterprise, typically at year five or beyond. Step three: Determine an investor's required rate of return (normally 5x to 10x the invested capital for early-stage investments, depending on the maturity of the business and the presence of early adopters, or customers using the product or service).
The art
: Many qualitative considerations drive startup valuation. These include deal "hype," founder investment, past successes of the founder, target market, assembled team, product stage and differentiation, initial traction, pace of customer adoption, scalability, current burn-rate (synonymous with negative cash flow), barriers to entry, intellectual property protection, board control and protective provisions, among others.
Anecdotally, we see early-stage pre-money valuations (or the valuation prior to an investment) in the $1 million to $5 million range. Oftentimes, when a subsequent financing round is planned in the near term, we see investors deferring the negotiation of valuation to the next round. Instead of agreeing on a valuation today, the companies use a note structure and negotiate a discount to the next round. And in terms of amounts raised, some companies plan to raise enough money to have at least a year of "runway," look to give up between 10% to 40% of the company and expect to raise more capital later at a higher valuation.
Unfortunately, there is no easy answer to startup valuation, but there are plenty of opinions available. We suggest using several methods and obtaining as much unbiased advice. Entrepreneurs need it to know what kind of capital they need from investors and what amount of equity they're willing to trade. Investors need it so that can put a value on their investment to generate liquidity.

I was wondering if there were any out there who would like to see a large subregatta here in the S.E. US. Out of all of the states we encompass I would think that there is a similar venue here in the southern US.
Anyone have any ides or thoughts on this? Could eliminate some driving if we held a regatta here in the sunny south. Any ideas on locations that might be suitable? Anyone want to help organize the search to see if it is even a good idea?

Next to the common cold, ear infections are the most commonly diagnosed childhood illness in the United States. More than 3 out of 4 kids have had at least one ear infection by the time they reach 3 years of age.
To understand how ear infections develop, let's review how the ear works.
Think about how you can feel speakers vibrate as you listen to your favorite CD in the car or how you feel your throat vibrate when you speak. Sound, which is made up of invisible waves of energy, causes these vibrations. Every time you hear a sound, the various structures of the ear have to work together to make sure the information gets to the brain.
The ear is responsible for hearing and balance and is made up of three parts — the outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear. Hearing begins when sound waves that travel through the air reach the outer ear, or pinna, which is the part of the ear that's visible. The sound waves then travel from the pinna through the ear canal to the middle ear, which includes the eardrum (a thin layer of tissue) and three tiny bones called ossicles. When the eardrum vibrates, the ossicles amplify these vibrations and carry them to the inner ear.
The inner ear translates the vibrations into electric signals and sends them to the auditory nerve, which connects to the brain. When these nerve impulses reach the brain, they're interpreted as sound.
To function properly, the middle ear must be at the same pressure as the outside world. This is taken care of by the eustachian tube, a small passage that connects the middle ear to the back of the throat behind the nose.
By letting air reach the middle ear, the eustachian tube equalizes the air pressure in the middle ear to the outside air pressure. (When your ears "pop" while yawning or swallowing, the eustachian tubes are adjusting the air pressure in your middle ears.) The eustachian tube also allows for drainage of mucus from the middle ear into the throat.
Sometimes, the eustachian tube may malfunction. For example, when someone has a cold or an allergy affecting the nasal passages, the eustachian tube may become blocked by congestion in its lining or by mucus within the tube. This blockage will allow fluid to build up within the normally air-filled middle ear.
Bacteria or viruses that have entered the middle ear through the eustachian tube also can get trapped in this way. These germs can breed in the trapped fluid, eventually leading to an ear infection.
Inflammation in the middle ear area is known as otitis media. When referring to an ear infection, doctors most likely mean "acute otitis media" rather than the common ear infection called swimmer's ear, or otitis externa.
Acute otitis media is the presence of fluid, typically pus, in the middle ear with symptoms of pain, redness of the eardrum, and possible fever.
Other forms of otitis media are either more chronic (fluid is in the middle ear for 6 or more weeks) or the fluid in the middle ear is temporary and not necessarily infected (called otitis media with effusion).
Doctors try to distinguish between the different forms of otitis because this affects treatment options. Not all forms of otitis need to be treated with antibiotics.
Kids develop ear infections more frequently in the first 2 to 4 years of life for several reasons:
A number of other factors can contribute to kids getting ear infections, such as exposure to cigarette smoke, bottle-feeding, and day-care attendance.
Ear infections also occur more commonly in boys than girls, in kids whose families have a history of ear infections, and during the winter season when upper respiratory tract infections or colds are frequent.
The signs and symptoms of acute otitis media may range from very mild to severe:
Fluid buildup in the middle ear also blocks sound, which can lead to temporary hearing difficulties. A child may:
Other symptoms of acute otitis media can include:
However, otitis media with effusion often has no symptoms. In some kids, the fluid that's in the middle ear may create a sensation of ear fullness or "popping." As with acute otitis media, the fluid behind the eardrum can block sound, so mild temporary hearing loss can happen, but might not be obvious.
Ear infections are also frequently associated with upper respiratory tract infections and, therefore, with their common signs and symptoms, such as a runny or stuffy nose or a cough.
Ear infections are not contagious, though the cold that may lead to one can be.
Middle ear infections often go away on their own within 2 or 3 days, even without any specific treatment. If your doctor decides to prescribe antibiotics, a 10-day course is usually recommended.
For kids 6 years of age and older with a mild to moderate infection, a shortened course of antibiotics (5 to 7 days) may be appropriate.
But even after antibiotic treatment for an episode of acute otitis media, fluid may remain in the middle ear for up to several months.
A child who might have an ear infection should visit a doctor, who should be able to make a diagnosis by taking a medical history and doing a physical exam.
To examine the ear, doctors use an otoscope, a small instrument similar to a flashlight, through which they can see the eardrum.
There's no single best approach for treating all middle ear infections. In deciding how to manage your child's ear infection, a doctor will consider many factors, including:
The fact that most ear infections can clear on their own has led a number of physician associations to recommend a "wait-and-see" approach, which involves giving the child pain relief without antibiotics for a few days.
Another important reason to consider this type of approach are the limitations of antibiotics, which:
Also, frequent use of antibiotics can lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which can be much more difficult to treat.
However, kids who get a lot of ear infections may be prescribed daily antibiotics by their doctor to help prevent future infections. And younger children or those with more severe illness may require antibiotics right from the start.
The "wait-and-see" approach also might not apply to children with other concerns, such as cleft palate, genetic conditions such as Down syndrome, underlying illnesses such as immune system disorders, or a history of recurrent acute otitis media.
Kids with persistent otitis media with effusion (lasting longer than 3 months) should be reexamined periodically (every 3 to 6 months) by their doctors. Often, though, even these kids won't require treatment.
Whether or not the choice is made to treat with antibiotics, you can help to reduce the discomfort of an ear infection by using acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain and fever as needed. Your doctor may also recommend using pain-relieving eardrops as long as the eardrum hasn't ruptured.
But certain children, such as those with persistent hearing loss or speech delay, may require ear tube surgery. In some cases, an ear, nose, and throat doctor will suggest surgically inserting tubes (called tympanostomy tubes) in the tympanic membrane. This allows fluid to drain from the middle ear and helps equalize the pressure in the ear because the eustachian tube is unable to.
Some factors associated with the development of ear infections can't be changed (such as family history of frequent ear infections), but certain lifestyle choices can minimize the risk for kids:
Also be aware that research has shown that cold and allergy medications, such as antihistamines and decongestants, aren't helpful in preventing ear infections.
Although quite rare, ear infections that don't go away or severe repeated middle ear infections can lead to complications, including spread of the infection to nearby bones. So kids with an earache or a sense of fullness in the ear, especially when combined with fever, should be evaluated by their doctors if they aren't improving.
Other conditions can also result in earaches, such as teething, a foreign object in the ear, or hard earwax. Consult your doctor to help determine the cause of the discomfort and how to treat it.

Article Summary
What began in Milwaukee in 1953 as a get-together for aircraft enthusiasts has grown into the most well known event on the aviation calendar. EAA AirVenture – also known as Oshkosh after the town where it now takes place – rightly deserves the title of the world's greatest aviation celebration. Everyone around the globe with an interest in flying wants to be here and each year around 10,000 aircraft and half a million visitors make the pilgrimage. The 2010 event wrapped up today, so after a week of enjoying all the neck-straining action and cutting edge aviation technology on show, it's time to take a look back at EAA AirVenture 2010 in pictures.

Quarrier Corner: Magician juggles life lessons for students
A few weeks ago, the elementary students attended an assembly program. Curtis Hed came to Dell Rapids Elementary to perform his "Magic of Being Kind" show. Curtis's show was full of juggling acts, magic tricks and humor.Throughout the show, he continued to give a message to students that they are each important. Therefore, it is important to make a choice to be kind to one another. Students were eager to share some of their favorite moments of the program during classroom guidance, and it was evident they really enjoyed the show. In addition to addressing kindness, several other topics have been discussed during classroom guidance this year. First grade classes have been listening to "Froggy and Friends" talk about using their manners at school and home. Third grade classes have been using their LifeSkills workbooks to learn about self-esteem and decision-making. Other classes have been focusing on feelings, friendships and making good choices.Throughout the next few weeks, junior and senior students, who have chosen to volunteer their time and have attended training at Volunteers of America, will be paired with elementary students to become a Study Buddy. They will meet once a week for 20-30 minutes to provide academic help and emotional support. Study Buddies have been shown to have a positive effect on younger students' self-esteem and academic skills through role modeling.

Viscount bikes
84 posts
• Page 1 of 4 • 1, 2, 3, 4
Viscount bikesI know there are a few members here who own Viscounts. I'm interested to start an Aussie-based thread on these beautiful machines. Any pics, stories out there?
Coz I'm new I have to create a word picture rather than attach one, so here goes... BY way of intro, I have two Viscounts, both are true Aerospace frames. One is the first Aerospace model under the Viscount name (after they transformed themselves from the defunct Lambert Co.), known as the Viscount Victor. The frame is interesting because the head tube is lugged to the top and down tubes, but all the other joins are fillet brazed. The bicycle I own was set up as a commuter bike/tourer with swept (dove) bars and the first Shimano Positron derailleur (with the dual push-pull cables). Single front chainring; steel, cotterless cranks, and steel rims on Shimano high flange hubs; full mudguards. Since then I have had alloy rims laced onto the same hubs and replaced the steel crankset with a Sugino Mighty alloy crankset, which befits a frame which is so light and responsive. I've kept the Positron even though it's 100% steel because of its historical significance. No idea if all Victors came with this set up as Viscounts were notorious for being shipped with a range of componentry. The other bike is one I've owned since the late 80s and it's the Aerospace Sport, which was one of the Victor's successors and was the second top spec bike in the range at the time (c. 1975-78). It came with Viscount sealed-bearing high flange hubs, alloy rims, Sugino Maxy five pins crankset, and Dura-Ace/Crane derailleur. The frame, like most Aerospace frames is all fillet-brazed. I am getting the frame re painted (powder-coated) and the forks rechromed. Just a note about the forks, the Aerospace Sport bikes all came with hollow chromoly forks. It was only the top spec Aerospace Pro which had the cast aluminium forks. For some reason these forks became known as the "death fork" even though they have had no more failures than similar fork problems with, say Cervelo: http://www.cervelo.com/en_us/company/support/recalls/ So anyway, that's me! I'll post some pics when I'm allowed. b
Re: Viscount bikesI have a nice Viscount with the death forks, will get some details for you. It is all original including paint. I would be gratefull if you can help me indentify it. Also have some spare death forks if anyone needs to die soon. (they are in good condition, they do not appear to have killed anyone so far.)
Re: Viscount bikesLove to see some pics Warren! If I can't identify it, there are a couple of guys in the UK who are Viscount nerds who could do it.
Re the aluminium fork, there were I think three versions of it. See this blog entry for details. PM me abut getting rid of your spare pair... b
Re: Viscount bikes
welcome to the forum Bendo. i dont own a viscount, but if any bike has something called Death forks then i want one my bikes are rather boring. i do have 40 or more 70's skateboards that when ridden give the rider 'death wobbles' though, and when you get them, it always ends in tears. steel is the real deal.
Re: Viscount bikesI had a Lambert once and Lambert Bicycles were later called "Viscounts" after the company was purchased by Trusty in 1975 or 1976 I believe. An interesting bike with all main nuts with an L on them like raleigh and carlton used to do. Both Lamberts and Viscounts came with a cast aluminium (aluminum) fork which was pinned to a steel steerer tube. Early production didn't even have the pin. This fork was the main problem as it had a tendency to snap off the steerer tube. Mine seemed fine to me never had a worry though till I googled up the "death Forks" reference. I have since sold the bike on but have some images and copies of brochures filed away somewhere.
Re: Viscount bikesYou're absolutely right Jon, Viscount took over many of the features that Lambert created, including the cast aluminium fork and the self-named components. I have a pair of Lambert CP brake calipers on the VA Victor at the moment and the only difference between these and their later Viscount versions is the Lambert sticker. There was even a strong 'family' resemblance between the "L" for Lambert and the "V" for Viscount on pedal spindle caps, headstem pinch-bolt, QR skewers, etc.
Would love to see your pics if you get around to finding them. b
Re: Viscount bikes... and Honjo mudguardsThought I'd give this thread a bump and post a pic now that I can. Posted a few of the Victor over on the Show Us What Yerv Got thread, but now I've finally finished the nailbiting Honjo mudguard installation and it seems like it's all gone to plan. Nailbiting because the supplier (Jitensha Studio in Berkeley) couldn't guarantee they would fit an old school 27" wheel. But they do. Just. Which is fine. Haven't used any leather washers as yet. Will ride for a while and see what the noise is like. I'll also shorten those stays a little as well once I'm dead sure of the positioning. More pics and blurb on me blog. Looks pretty nice eh? b
Re: Viscount bikesJust got my original Viscount Aerospace Sport back from Jesse at Bike Bar, after a lengthy and comprehensive resto:
Frame stripped, collar put on head tube, stays reset, new (restored) forks, Dura Ace BB fitted, frame powder coated, new 27" wheels laced onto NOS Dura Ace high flange hubs. In fact the only original parts of the bike are the frame and the front derailleur. Everything else is NOS or used Dura Ace first gen, where possible: derailleur, hubs, seat post, crankset, BB, brakes. Other bits Nitto, Viscount and Ideale. Rims Sun CR-18. b
Re: Viscount bikesViscount Sebring owner here, though hanging in garage, a bit grotty/surface rust. Used it for commuting/touring from '78~'85'ish. When I got back on the saddle, mid 90s, stupidly bought an MTB. Mended my ways, and now ride a mid-90s Giant Perigee, a respectable CroMo/Exage 300EX which I bought in pristine condition, for a song, about 6 months ago.
The Sebring got upgraded for touring, still has front and rear racks. Got cranks upgraded to TA triple, at some point went to Huret DuoPar derailleurs. Just rego'd here. Shall post pics when I qualify. I know nothing about Viscount history. I bought it from a lovely guy who ran a bike shop on Parramatta Rd Stanmore, Chris, in '78. There wasn't a lot in mid-range then, and it was affordable but reasonable quality. Interesting thread.
Re: Viscount bikesJust got a Sebring from another forum member yesterday and after some googling i'm really excited about it. Has Shimano 500 derailleurs, Tourney centrepull brakes (which i reckon look really cool), a nice SR stem, SR Apex cranks and Sorin bars.

Re: Viscount bikesPics you say? Oh ok then, seeing as you insist .
That's it so far, i've just about stripped it (only BB and headset to go) and this afternoon i'm dunking the derailleurs and cranks in the degreaser bath at work. Usually when i clean up ally parts i just rub them over with maroon scotchbrite, i like the brushed look but being a Viscount i think this one deserves a higher class finish . So super shiny polishing time! Shouldn't be any issue with reusing the original parts (except for the brake levers, they're a bit bent and originally had extension levers, erk), cosmetically i could leave it as is but i like my toys shiny so it's up for a strip and repaint. The only issue there is finding a Sebring decal, the Viscount ones are easy enough to get. With wheels i am thinking high flange Shimano hubs laced to Weinmann rims. The forks i'm unsure about, the original half chrome look would be ideal but i don't know yet how good it is, a bit of gentle cleaning is in order and hopefully they will still be ok. Tange TF dropouts on the forks BTW. I've pretty much decided to try and get her ready for this year's Noosa L'Eroica, whether or not i can remains to be seen. When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments- Elizabeth West.
Re: Viscount bikesJust picked up a large frame "bennett" sebring today. I can certainly see the family resemblance to the viscount.
Boy oh boy Ive got some work to do. Mines still got the decals on it but in average condition. Im going to see if i can prise them off and get some new ones made up along with some apollo decals for another resto. Looking forward to the progress of your rebuild. Chris When in doubt......mumble.
Re: Viscount bikesI recently bought a Viscount. I had not planned to buy the bike - I had bought a set of rims and the guy just happened to mention that he had the Viscount for sale.
He had originally bought the bike for parts, so I did not get the complete bike...unfortunately. He did a very good job of stripping the bike, but it is proving to be a nightmare to put back together. I basically got the frame, complete handle-bars, "Death Forks", Viscount centre-pull brakes, Viscount hubs and that is about it. The bottom bracket was removed, and I am having a hard time finding one to fit. The end result is the whole project is very frustrating and the bike is now at the bottom of a very long list of things I have to do! I will have to add some photos...it would be one beautiful bike if I can get it finished!
Re: Viscount bikesThat sucks harnor, re the BB if you do some googling there is a HUUGE thread on a pommy forum about viscounts which has some exceptionally detailed information about sorting out BBs on the Aerospace models (i'm glad my Viscount is a low end one with a normal BB).
The decals arrived from H Lloyd cycles today, should get the frame back from the blasters tomorrow or wednesday and then i have 9 or 10 days to get it painted and built for the L'Eroica, possible... When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments- Elizabeth West.
Re: Viscount bikesThanks for the reply!
As you suggested, I had a look at a forum about the Viscount BB. The good news is that mine does have threading, so must take a normal BB - just an unusual diameter. The standard 68mm is too small - I suspect it would be 70mm. I have seen some spacers for sale so may take a gamble and get some. The larger diameter BBs seem to be quite expensive, and would be a waste if found to be the wrong size. Once I get this sorted I will feel a whole lot better about the project. It does make me wonder what model I have. Hopefully, when I get some photos up, someone will be able to tell me. The next problem will be, predictably, the forks. I have all the original parts (apart from bearings) but they don't seem to fit together. It may be my "Guardian Angel" trying to prevent me being seriously injured or, more likely, my mechanical incompetence! I have been advised not to use the "Death Forks" in any case. Scott
Re: Viscount bikesSounds like an Italian BB might do it, BSA threading is 1.37" diameter or (uses phone convertor) 34.7mm where Italian is 36mm. The shell width for BSA is 68mm and Italian is 70mm. I'd take the frame down to the LBS and see if they have an Italian BB lying around that they could check for you.

Pretty much same colour/era as the one I had which went to lovemiyata. Pardon my ignorance on the jargon... "suicide forks'? Well, no, it's not a pushbike, otherwise I'd be pushing it...

Re: Viscount bikes
from Sheldon Brown
Re: Viscount bikesI would have bought mine in about June '78, as I'd got back from Europe skint> sold the Pug 404, and commenced riding the Viscount to work at Sydney Hospital. Maybe I missed the adventure... by a whisker.
Well, no, it's not a pushbike, otherwise I'd be pushing it...

Re: Viscount bikesThanks again ldrcycles - very sound advice.
I did mention my Viscount to the guy at my local shop. I was impressed that he had heard of Viscount, but he then described the bikes as "Supermarket Bikes" which put me off somewhat! I am sure that once he actually sees the bike he will be as impressed with it as I am. I may have to take it to Clarence St if he is unable to help me. I have seen Sheldon Brown's comments about the Viscount forks before and I take this warning very seriously. I plan to take some photos this weekend which I will add to my Photobucket album, and make available here. I would be interested in finding out if anyone knows what model it is (and any history), what they think of it and what parts they would use to rebuild it etc. Scott
Re: Viscount bikesYeah, saw that too. With a due warning about the forks. As Michael Caton might say: "He's dreamin' son."
Well, no, it's not a pushbike, otherwise I'd be pushing it...
Ricardo Elite, '87 Keith Davis/Pegasus, '92 Team Miyata Ti.
Re: Viscount bikesThat eBay listing was actually a big help to me! My bike is the same model, and in the same colour!
I took photos of the frame and parts today, and am just loading them onto Photobucket. I now know that I have more original parts than I realised, including the rims. I bought a number of seperate items from the guy who sold me the Viscount but it was not clear which parts belonged to that bike. I have no idea why he felt the need to dismantle even the wheels (and then sell the hubs and rims) or what sort I bike he needed the BB for! Speaking of which...I was wrong about the threading on the BB...it is just machining marks, so I am back to square one with that. I only paid $60 for the parts that I have (which is most of the bike), so guess that it will be worth spending a fair bit on the parts that I am still missing.
Re: Viscount bikesTake a zero off that guy's price, offer him that.
Well, no, it's not a pushbike, otherwise I'd be pushing it...

Contractor Training on the Proper Cleaning of Hardscapes
Oftentimes, when your crew installs a paver patio or retaining wall, the process leads to a finished project with blemishes. Over the course of the installation the product picks up mud, dust and footprints. Some product may have efflorescence. We have found a way to properly clean hardscape products; helping them show their full color. We will be holding a series of classes geared towards providing contractors the proper training for hardscape surface cleaning.
Co-sponsored by EaCoChem, the first two classes will take place at our Vancouver, Washington branch at 10:00 AM Friday, January 25th and again at 10:00 AM, February 22nd. Although nothing is scheduled as of yet, there will be additional sessions in other regions over the next couple of months.
The course will be a hands-on demonstration of proper cleaning techniques and to promote post installation cleaning of hardscape products as an integral part of the total installation process. This class will take to the road over the next several weeks, so keep an eye out at your local branch or on line for the next class nearest to you.
To RSVP to the class, please contact:
Fred Davis (email@example.com), Bill Allen (firstname.lastname@example.com), or Molly Brown (email@example.com).

Rethinking the Mobile Web
Sometimes, 2010 really reminds me of 1995—that mystical time when the Web was just starting to take off. I remember sitting with a friend randomly typing the name of the largest or most innovative companies we could think of into Netscape, just to see if they maybe had a website. The mobile Web today is a bit like that. Every once in a while you Google something and poof… a mobile site comes up. Unlike 1995, however, finding a mobile site is only half as much fun. All too often, the content isn't exactly what you were expecting. And more often than not, it's formatted for some other device.
So that's the user perspective, but how do designers and developers feel about the mobile Web?
For all the times users are perplexed by odd mobile experiences, I can guarantee developers, designers, and stakeholders are as well. Mobile browsers are pretty smart these days, so why not just serve the desktop site to everyone? But then again, there's that 'mobile context' thing. So maybe it's best to build a mobile site with mobile-specific functionality? That's no fun though, because now we have two sites, or maybe three, or even more. How do you tell these devices apart anyhow? Is that what these new @media query things are for? And let's be realistic: all we see on the subway are iPhones, so are users even browsing the Web on mobile at all?
The problem is that there is no single or correct answer to any of this, and there may not be for some time.
But what we do know after lots of testing and research is that millions of people are using the mobile Web on many devices with many screen sizes and using many browsers. Habits and patterns also vary dramatically around the world, which makes it even harder to figure out what to do. And current options such as device databases and user-agent sniffing are becoming less useful. There are simply too many devices out there to keep relying on huge white lists or seemingly random device groupings based on terminology that keeps changing (tablet, superphone, smartphone, featurephone, dumbphone… ?)
The presentation below is our attempt to provide some perspective on all this, and suggest techniques that address the wide range of users, devices, and browsers from the very start. This is by no means a solution to everyone's problems and, to be honest, we've been completely blown away by the interest these ideas have received so far. From Berlin, to Seoul, to Nairobi, we've struck a chord with people who create and manage Web-based digital stuff, including developers, educators, publishers, and even librarians. It's clear that many people want or need to support mobile but are uncertain how to do so.
So we'd love to hear from the UX community. Does the approach we recommend in the presentation, or any others you may be using, make sense to you? What tools, standards and resources are missing to address the problems you currently encounter when designing for the mobile Web?
Add new comment
"Nevermind that the iPhone (and WebKit) basically created the category of near-desktop-class web experiences on smartphones. People have such short memories"
Load of rubbish. Apple users have (and still are) simply happy to purchase what everyone else uses (and expects) for free. That is why the open web is still around.
Near-desktop-class web experiences are certainly popular thanks to Apple, but there is a much bigger market (and likely will continue to be) that wants to play outside of a policed garden.
Diversity in devices might prove awkward for web developers and some devices might appear to answer all the problems with a policed solution, but the sheer diversity of what is already available in such a short space of time has certainly sparked real self-assessment of the future of the web for everyone.
Mobile apps, like their computer predicesors, are essentially produced (and used) in minority compared to the open web. And as more poorer people use such devices, this number will continue to increase. I personally don't see a future where everyone needs to purchase web apps, but I can certainly see how there is a rush for businesses to make money before the market drops out.
@ryan; I also don't get it "all we see on the subway are iPhones.." but I guess if we replace iPhones with iPods... then the whole sentence make more sense.
I think google sensed this mobileweb standard issue way before anyone so they just decide to make the standard smartphone OS with android.
Apple stands with html5.
Yahoo is catching up with Yahoo blueprint.
Now Nokia find themselves lacking and takeover symbian.
Despite efforts by other mobileweb coding, the most possible leader would be the standard from above list.
Very nice presentation about mobile browsing. Clear comparisons between mobile and desktop browsing. Very nice slides, like the photo's and humour in it!
Good point of laying the focus beyond the iDevice hype and concentrate on the real users of mobile browsing. Cause the fact that the software industry is moving around a couple of devices of a single manufacturer is not a desired situation. The penetration of mobile webapps will be slowed and the growth market (i.e. Africa) is neglected.
"all we see on the subway are iPhones, so are users even browsing the Web on mobile at all?"
Not sure I understand this statement. Are you saying that you think iPhone users never open Safari, and only use downloaded apps? Or are you saying that because they're on the subway with no cell signal available, they must be doing something other than browsing the web?
It's funny to me that because Apple chose to open the iPhone up to native apps (which everyone begged them to do practically from the moment it was announced, complaining that Apple's suggestion solution of web apps wasn't good enough), and because they did so in a way that was smart and successful, some of the same folks are now running around wailing about how the iPhone is "killing" the open, HTML Internet. Nevermind that the iPhone (and WebKit) basically created the category of near-desktop-class web experiences on smartphones. People have such short memories...
I don't care if people use the web on devices other than iPhones. If you use the web on a mobile device that is not a superphone, you should expect a crappy experience.
Great article and super hot topic. But the questions are not really new and there has always been a large community of services and developers to try to fix this problem and simplify the process for developers and content providers AND brands. It started with 'browser compatibility' and ended up with 'cell phone device compatibility'.
I just recently gave a workshop on (digital) Adaptive Brand Experiences and tried to bring in a better and deeper understanding of brand user experience documentation which helps to build and establish a cohesive brand experience across several digital touch points and outlets.
Just skip the promo part and start with page 35+ "Your brand liquifies in a waterfall of new digital touch points."
What if we ditch the web on mobiles for the web on some other remote platform i.e. a tablet? For example, you stick to using the phone for making calls and you use the tablet for surfing the internet?
Think about it another way. Many younger people don't wear a watch. They have their phone, which tells them the time (this is what they know). Remember when digital watches came out? It was all about the features (a calculator springs to mind!). Now watches just tell the time i.e. what they were designed to do.
It doesn't matter how good mobile website design gets, the size of the screen is too small to surf the net, which means it will ultimately be replaced with something bigger. Just like all a watch could really do was tell the time, a mobile phone is best used for making and receiving calls (and SMS) - because that's what it was designed for.
This is the reason that apps are more popular - the expectation is way lower.
I think that the presentation nails designing for mobile first, but in 5 - 10 years time how we interact with the mobile web will be completely different. I doubt it will be on screens the size of what we are currently on. Perhaps the next thing that sets the market on fire will be the phone that has a screen that opens up to be 7in wide.
Great presentation though. And some great images.
On my desktop computer, the slideshow never shows up, the error code is 'Forbidden." Sigh..
I think mobile web developers should also have a look at the W3C mobile web best practices. It also comes down to one question - what information the user needs on a mobile device? Keeping the data separate from presentation is going to help us deliver a better user experience.
I couldn't agree more, sitting on a long train ride home... A surprised to find a flash plugin on my iPhone

I laughed so hard when I saw this.
It's an old (and by old, I mean centuries old) dance from Serbia...I wasn't expecting to see that on NBA court. Though, Toronto has a huge amount of Serbs who live there, only Chicago has more Serbs than Toronto in North America. So, I guess it's not that big of a surprise, but still... Here you go: Just for the record, you won't see that in clubs here, lol. |

Installed these tires on my all wheel drive vehicle. With less than 15000km on them the two rear tires had no tread left at all. One went flat on my way to work. No punctures found in the tire. Very disappointing tires. Would not recommend them.

Great value and bang for the buck. Excellent around SUMMER performance tire. I bought these to replace the Michelin Pilot Sport SX grippers that were on my car when I bought it (these are now discontinued - amazing but not available anymore - replaced due to a nail in the sidewall). I did lots of research and had a bit of a budget to stick to when I bought them; I wanted a new set of Michelins but needed to save a few dollars and I am not disappointed. Incredible grip, very little noise (can't really hear them at all), good wet traction (admittedly a bit of a challenge with lots of torque and rear wheel drive - need to go easy on the throttle but the front end doesn't let go), and overall a VERY high level of performance - which is what I wanted most. This car is incredibly capable and this tire is a good match for it ... they inspire a very high level of confidence. And there's another benefit I didn't expect: improved fuel mileage, to the tune of about 20%. I really couldn't believe it, but it happened. I can only imagine this is due to less rolling resistance. Amazing. Initially I felt that the sidewalls were quite a bit more compliant than the Michelins, and the response wasn't quite as sharp (same size and aspect ratio) but that seemed to change. But as they 'wore in' in seemed to improve (or I just got accustomed to it). They don't quite have the rim protection that the Michelins did, and the sidewall itself just looks a little different and taller (even though it isn't - it's a design and appearance thing). At this point I've put about 1 full spring / summer season on them and I don't regret the decision at all. VERY impressive value for the money. Recommended.

Getting ready to replace all four tires, purchased Feb. 2011 and 27K+ miles of mixed highway and city driving. I would think I got my money's worth out of this set. I'll probably buy them again. Can't beat the price/performance ratio. Rears wore out down to about 2/32nd of an inch. The fronts, being a smaller width, are wearing out on the outer edges. Vehicle was aligned just after installation of the tires. Cannot rotate due to staggered sizes. Previous set of tires, the fronts wore out on the inside edge of tread well before the rears wore down.

NORFOLK -- Hours before the scheduled Thanksgiving Day opening of Toys 'R' Us, customers wrapped around the building on North Military Highway.
People began entering the store at about 8:00 p.m. (the opening time). Within minutes, some emerged from inside, bags in hand.
'I came yesterday and did a pre-through, so I knew where they were,' said Debi Ratliffe, referring to the Monster High dolls she bought. 'It feels good. It was really fast, and my sister's done, so we're cool. We're moving on to the next go.'
Alicia Frye circled the toy store several times. She wasn't looking for deals, but working the crowd, selling beverages and snacks to raise money for her sons' Cub Scout Pack in Chesapeake.
'We've got 3 parents from the troop out here,' explained Frye. 'I mean, we figured people are out here. They're getting cold, so hot cocoa, coffee, what's better than that?'
At Target on North Military, Cindy and Taylor Wilkinson prepared for the shop-until-daylight outing that has become a mother-daughter tradition.
'We went to visit in-laws, yes, we did, and, then, we came home and sat down and strategically looked through the paper, trying to figure out where we wanted to go and what we were gonna try to get when we get inside,' Cindy Wilkinson told 13News. 'She'll go hit one item, and I'll go the other way to get the other one so that we can try to get there, and we never grab a cart, 'cause that slows you down.'
Wilkinson began laughing, as her daughter, Taylor, added, 'It's all about strategy.'

Fragrant oil that can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions (Sources: and Contact Dermatitis, December 2005, pages 320-323; and American Journal of Contact Dermatitis, June 1996, pages 77–83). There is one animal study showing it to have antitumor properties (Source: European Journal of Cancer Prevention, October 1999, pages 449–455). It is a must to avoid if you have extra-sensitive skin or normally react to fragrance.

Lois Piper, Mallory Hicks' mom and a volunteer organizer of the 2nd Annual Miles for Mallory PHamily PHun Walk in Minneapolis, Minn., sent the below follow-up report about their day. As of October 19, their event had raised over $11,000 for pulmonary hypertension research and patient services.
On Saturday, October 20, we held the 2nd Annual Miles for Mallory PHamily PHun Walk in Minneapolis, Minn. Over 160 walkers turned out on a cool, foggy Minnesota fall morning at Lake of the Isles in Minneapolis. The walk is held in memory of Mallory Hicks, who lost her battle with PH a mere 3 1/2 months after her diagnosis. Her family and friends feel so strongly that early diagnosis can save lives, that they have committed themselves to raising awareness of PH.
We had a walk around the lake, followed by a spaghetti luncheon, where we presented the Proclamation signed by Governor Mark Dayton declaring that November 2012 is PH Awareness Month in Minnesota. We invited U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar to our event, but she is in the middle of a re-election campaign, and was unable to attend. She sent (a) letter promising her support in the U.S. Senate. Dr. Michael McGoon and his wife, Bonnie, were the recipients of this year's Proclamation. Dr. McGoon has been a tireless warrior against PH. He is the director of the Rochester Mayo PH Clinic.
It was a festive atmosphere as PH'ers and the larger community drew together and walked to raise awareness. It was a sight to see as we walked (160 strong) our brightly colored t-shirts with the Miles for Mallory logo apparent all along the lake shore. Everyone there said it was an inspiring event, and hope that we continue.
