I have been messing about Ubiquity for the first time today and what a nice, intuitive suprise it was!
After a very simple and easy install I was up and running. I must admit this isn’t something I could see less tech-savvy people using, but I guess that’s not really who it’s aimed at. The way it enhances the web and integrates with all of your web applications is really interesting, something very ‘different’.
I guess the next big question is what the uptake will be like from developers and web services. It has the potential to be one of those web applications you wonder how you survived without before.
Download it here and have a go yourself.
I’ve just put the finishing touches to the new look Caffeinehit. I thought it was about time it had a bit of a sprucing up and spring clean. Being the 1st birthday and all it seemed a very suitable time!
It would be great to hear what you think, so leave some comments here…

I was just using Google Maps, as I often do and spotted a new addition to the interface, a neat little dropdown giving the option of viewing photos AND wikipedia content on your maps.
Now, I know it’s only going to be a matter of time before they introduce browser type ‘add-ons’ to your Google maps but for the time being this is a seriously sexy addition. One issue that I have with Wikipedia is that there is no way to view location based content in any sort of context, to have it viewable on a map makes it seem somewhat relevant.
Not only does it add interest to the basic google maps it does look pretty cool at the same time. I know this is pretty common place with many mashups but it’s nice to see Google finally adding a little bit more to the basic Google Maps.
Another release via Caffeinehit Ltd is the new look last name pages for Kindo. The original design was made only for one country, Sweden. Now there is last name data for a number of countries there needed to be a page that was easy to add future countries to.
Anyway, here’s the design I came up with, since it’s launch traffic has sky-rocketed. Watch this space and while you’re at it, why not see if your surname is in one of the countries listed on the site.

Another recent creative release from Caffeinehit Ltd was the photo gallery solution for Kindo.
Kindo is one of the fastest growing family tree websites on the internet, their recent release of photo albums is set to increase their web traffic even more. The final design was designed to be simple and allow users to easily browse and share their photos with their family.
I can’t wait to hear how people react to it, Kindo is becoming such a massive website it really does make it a great testing ground for my designs and UI solutions. Let’s see how this one goes.

Well the latest creation to come out of Caffeinehit Ltd has hit the web, the new Nintey Ten website has just been put live.
I had the challenge of re-designing and re-branding Ninety Ten. With quite a short deadline it was about creating something that was simple and effective, allow people to go to the site and find out about the company and their products quickly.
With a new style navigation, updated logo, colours and branding guideline I think it updates the brand and gives them that web2.0 look they were looking for.
