Two Old Articles Worth the Read

by Rico on July 25th, 2008

Developer’s Alarm: 200+ Hotkeys To Boost Your Productivity. Now I understand not all of use will use techie apps like Total Commander (a file manager replacement for Windows). But the sections on Gmail, Firefox, and many others are very useful. Keyboard shortcuts rock, because they allow you to do stuff quickly, without having to wait for the mouse pointer to position correctly.

The Five Truisms of the Photography Business. Dan Heller wrote this way back. But it’s point—that user-generated content (UGC) is the future—should be understood by freelancers everywhere, as more access to information and cheaper technologies are turning everyone into a designer, photographer, etc. While this means potentially more competition, Dan Heller also proposed that businesses should embrace the business-related changes that are continuing even today, and provide incentive for effective and distinctive UGC. In short, a crowded marketplace, but for some reason a greater chance to be rewarded for good work.

Update: I also recommend reading Dan Heller’s The future of photo sharing sites and agencies.
