Helvetireader is a minimal, anti-social theme for Google Reader which uses a hosted user stylesheet for Google Reader served via a user-script. It aims to make the interface a clean, minimal experience where you’re not assaulted by an array of colours, social features and buttons (using Shortcuts instead). It’s designed for people who just read the latest entries in expanded view without all the other gubbins.

Helvetireader has been developed by Jon Hicks.

The Private Banking websites of UBS, Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse come out as winners in the benchmarking of the online presence of the world’s top 20 Wealth Managers by MetaBank, an online Swiss banks database. In the study, UBS ranked first, with a total score of 82 out of possible 100 points. The UBS website scored well in particular due to a wide range of interactive tools which clients can use online to analyze investment needs and find the right products. Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse were tied at the second place, with 81 points each. While Credit Suisse offers superior navigation and also a few interactive functions, Deutsche Bank scored especially due to its customer friendly content. No other provider publishes online its wealth management fees in such details as Deutsche Bank.

If you’re working with any of the larger blue chip companies, or even financial institutions, it might prove useful to research how the others are doing it.
