Riffs, now for Safari too

As promised earlier, Riffs is now able to open its doors to Safari. Believe me, no one is more glad to see this than me!

There is now a blog to accompany the site – riffs on riffs so that Attap can communicate about what they’re up to, new features & changes, as well as gather more feedback about the site. If they let me, I’ll also use this to write about the CSS issues I encountered and solved whilst designing the site.

The inaugural post explains the Safari problems that held it back at the soft launch.

There’s still more to do, make sure you send in your feedback.

Riffs: your social recommender

At last, I can finally talk about what I’ve working on for the last 5 months! It’s so hard to work in stealth mode, and when everyone asks you why you’re so busy, you have to say “a thing”. Anyway, today, Riffs has gone live in ‘public alpha’ mode.

Riffs is a recommendations engine, a place to rant and rave about anything, recommend and get recommendations. My main use for it will probably be to give music recommendations, but you could use it to rate and review a gig, movie, conference or meal you’ve just had. Perhaps you want to get users opinions of a certain digital camera? While this is the early life of riffs, there are already over 10 million items in the database, and we’ve tried to make the process of adding a new item as quick and easy as possible.
