What’s new in GoodDay 1.1

Version 1.1 of Goodday was approved by Apple today. The first comment I heard was that it felt more “refined”.  That was essentially the goal of this release.  That’s really all you need to know, but the rest of the changes are documented in this post…

It’s Festivus – Time to Air Grievances

It’s that time of year and as Frank Costanza famously said… “I’ve got a lot of problems with you people…” This years list is a large one so bear with me. Google Chrome and every other company that decided to release their own web browser – I love you, but you’ve added yet another browser [...]

Treat existing site members better than new ones

Your ROI may be based on new member registrations, but you can’t forget about treating your existing members better.  They are going to be your strongest advocates.  Done poorly… Linkedin – Requires new page loads and extra clicks for existing users.

Bring me a hotfix for the weather oh, and the Internet noise

What a wild weather pattern we’re in out here.  Seriously, I pitched in the snow today at our baseball game.  It looked something like the picture to the left… except replace real fans with homeless people that wandered by on Capitol Hill in Seattle.  Today’s post is another grab bag of my recently shared items.  [...]

Defining user perception of social applications

I’ve been thinking about the differences between developing social and traditional applications. What’s the difference, for example, between developing Word and Facebook? The obvious difference is that one is social and one isn’t. But what does that really mean? It means is that the user experience in social applications is defined, in large part, by [...]

Time to leave networks on Facebook

I probably just noticed something that’s been going on for a while. I thought I’d check out the Seattle group on FB. It’s a 200k audience being fed daily spam like this: Facebook needs to find a way to deal with this problem because it’s only going to keep getting worse.

Design the little things that stand out

Good products tend to pay attention to the little details. Not all the details, but enough to make you notice. Lately I’ve noticed that the list of supporters or fans or whatever you want to call them on Facebook pages seems to always show a few people that are in your social circle, or friends [...]
