Critical Prototypes post 2

This is the first useful prototype I made for this brief. For some reason last week I spent a long time indesigning a mock up of this item, it took me less time to make the actual thing. Never mock up just DO IT. Utilising some pretty easy PHP [Simplepie RSS] and decent CSS I created a webpage which when printed comes out with a personal newspaper containing 3 sections of the Guardian website [UK/World news & politics] and a selection of cultural blogs that I generally consume on google reader.

We tested it over breakfast and found that it ended up giving us the same problems that the iPhone app did, the person not reading the paper was still excluded and I even ended up on my phone looking at twitter.

So on to the next version…
