Snip!t from collection of Alan Dix

<div class="body"> <div class="inner"> <div>Google just released Google Currents (what's up with the name?!) It is supposed to be "kind of" like Flipboard, except that it is less fun.&nbsp;</div> <p> </p><div>Google also released an update to Google Maps some weeks ago to include indoor maps. Both new releases gave me a shock. New UI language is being introduced in the already UI-fragmented Android platform.&nbsp;</div> <p> </p><div>Google, here is the problem: If you cannot make the UI of your apps consistent, how do you expect developers to follow your design language? Which one should they follow? You have to set the bar high. You have to show what a good app is supposed to be like. Developers will follow and the culture will be created. E.g. Apple set the bar for realistic textured apps. Developers followed.</div></div></div>
