Site Launch: Twitter Mosaic
11 Feb 2009 | Filed Under: Portfolio
“Site launch” is a bit of a misnomer, as the functional but fugly Twitter Mosaic was up and running and already getting loads of attention when Walter Higgins asked “What’s your availability? Can you make Twitter Mosaic pretty?” My answer was “My availability is shit, but yes.”
There’s no time like the present, so Guillermo Moreno and I sat down at midnight to see just how fast we could get design, XHTML and CSS out the door, and Walter woke up six hours later to a brand new Twitter Mosaic.

Ah-ha! That explains why you were asleep at 3 o’clock this afternoon.

Sweet design. Serious grats on the FOWD gig. Hugely upset I wasn’t around to laugh at the searchles totally straight dude.

‘Functional but fugly’ haha – that should be my new twitter bio tagline :-)

It was my pleasure, Walter. I sort of considered it web design triage and nobody here sleeps anyway. Plus we’d never played the “how fast?” game before and it was good fun to see something go live so quickly in the middle of a ton of drag-ass projects. Thanks for the email!

Simple and functional is always desirable from my perspective as an end user. Nice work, Sabrina.
