None
Jakob Nielsen It's cheap but degrading to reuse content and
design across diverging media forms like print vs. online or desktop vs. mobile. http://bit.ly/KTERAA
None
Jakob Nielsen It's not enough to simply modify the layout
by moving stuff around on the screen and enlarging or diminishing particular design elements. http://bit.ly/KTERAA
OK I agree with that
But that’s not all RWD is...
Later that week...
http://bit.ly/KJ0j8y
None
Venture Beat ....a one-size-fits-all solution delivers a subpar user experience.
http://bit.ly/KTERAA
Well, duh
Again, that’s not all RWD is
http://bit.ly/LjaVxv
This is true
Ethan Marcotte If someone says there’s only one true way
of working and designing online, look at them funny. http://bit.ly/Kzfy2m
So far, so good...
“Responsive design simply rearranges the content of your site to
fit on a mobile screen. http://bit.ly/LjaVxv
None
Seriously, that’s not all RWD is!
Let’s take a step back
Responsive architecture
None
This is awesome
But it’s not enough
More than layout
Marshall McLuhan We see the world through a rear- view
mirror. We march backwards into the future.

Scott Jenson These examples are just the initial, telltale signs
of a huge new wave of cheap devices about to invade our lives—a zombie apocalypse of electronics, if you will. http://bit.ly/giroPy

it does cost you business due to login failures http://bit.ly/9X3LAG

Contextual experiences http://flic.kr/p/6e7uqr
Context is the key to moving from a web that
responds to devices, to a web that responds to people
Do some research http://flic.kr/p/6e7uqr
Adam Greenfield If nothing else, it would be wise for
us all to remember that, while our information technology may be digital in nature, the human beings interacting with it will always be infuriatingly and delightfully analog.
We need all the tools we can get http://flic.kr/p/7MdW6A
UA detection is evil!
Don’t blame the tools for the craftsman http://flic.kr/p/7MdW6A
There are bad RWD sites
There are bad separate sites
