TWITTER IS MOVING TO CARDS – GOOGLE IS MOVING TO CARDS – EVERYONE IS MOVING TO CARDS |
Cards are fast becoming the best design pattern for mobile devices. We are currently witnessing a re-architecture of the web, away from pages and destinations, towards completely personalised experiences built on an aggregation of many individual pieces of content. Content being broken down into individual components and re-aggregated is the result of the rise of mobile technologies, billions of screens of all shapes and sizes, and unprecedented access to data from all kinds of sources through APIs and SDKs. This is driving the web away from many pages of content linked together, towards individual pieces of content aggregated together into one experience.
The aggregation depends on:
The person consuming the content and their interests, preferences, behaviour. Their location and environmental context. Their friends’ interests, preferences and behaviour. The targeting advertising eco-system. |
