Well done scalable graphics in aggregated link stream.


I don't know if this is intentional or not but the way the "persepctives" graphic scaled seemed to really work well.

This is kinda cool because when Facebook sucks in an web page to show a thumbnail of it for a link on Facebook, then this graphic scales nicely. This conforms to what I expect a 21st century newspaper to be, an idea I first heard from Nicholas Negroponte who says a newspaper will create a personal edition just for you based on what you want to read.

When all the pieces come from other web page and when the graphics scale properly and it actually looks like it was laid out that way even though it's just being thumbnailed, then we know we're getting close to Negroponte's (and my) ideal.
