collectivesunited.com | collecting creative roundups

This is my new pet project called collectivesunited.com and the idea behind it is very simple. I am trying to collect all these really interesting roundups about design, development, photography etc. I decided to give the authors or people who’d like to share something interesting, the option to publish their own roundups (moderated of course). So have a look and if you are an author feel free to submit your roundup!

pinkmoustache.net: free vectors

We love vectors. And when we design something that could be useful we give it away for free. And there are times where our sets are getting their 15 minutes of fame. So we decided instead of uploading these vector sets here on webtoolkit4.me, to create a dedicated place for these freebies. And this place is called Pink Moustache. Free vectors for everyone :)

State of the Web – Survey results

Webdirections.org conducted a web design survey a while ago and now the results are online. Some interesting stuff can be found in these results.

For example 1.22% of people working in the industry, are using IE6 as their primary browser. Plain HTML is still around with approx 20% still using it instead of XHTML. There’s also an improvement to the number of people who validate their pages (36%) and Microformats are still not a common place for web workers. We still do have unknown words such as RDFA. Some other interesting facts is that flash content is still heavily around for content like video. Also jQuery seems to be an industry standard in terms of Javascript usage.

In the programming part of this survey Linux, Apache, mySQL, PHP seem to be the kings around.
