Touchy subject

Two great reads this week, on connected subjects:

New Rule: Every Desktop Design Has To Go Finger-Friendly

Josh Clark (@globalmoxie) has an interesting hypothesis, that with Windows 8’s plethora of touchscreen, tablet and keyboard variations, our desktop (large screen) designs should be simplified for touch.

Responsive Navigation: Optimizing for Touch Across Devices

Luke Wroblewski (@lukew) and Jason Weaver try and answer the question “How can a navigation menu be designed to work across a wide range of touch screen sizes?”

This is why I love working on the web. There’s always something new and interesting to learn.
