[IxDA Discuss] Time Machine Shopping

[Scott Bower]

It is a few years old and was the inspiration for countless new 
interaction paradigms. No UX team, the designers were the stakeholders. 
The time machine is real interesting when combined with a geo-locator 
to visualize world news events that evolve over years, it is great that 
I can point clients to an example to help them think about 
abstractoins. Just take some of those ideas out of shopping and you can 
do some amazing things. I am struggling to remember the last time i did 
a keyword search when i was standing inside a Target store. Wonder how 
RFID hacking in physical stores in a year will compare to tweaking your 
code to get a number one listing on Google these days. But thats 
another topic..

One person did the time machine, 4 people built the site, did the code 
and run the company. To bad designers like Jared Tarbell and Marius 
Watz don't get on lists like this. They are to busy doing....
