My Twittering (2009-04-19)

  • The location of USB jacks affect my usability rating of a laptop computer. Must I rotate/flip it over each time, or can I truly plug & play? #
  • Spam is so crafty! I have “Nadine” commenting on my blog (http://FiveSketches.com) using a north-American idiom, but her domain’s in Russia. #
  • Someone recommended the PublicSpeaker site & podcasts to me. Great workplace tips, too. Hooked! Subscribed! http://bit.ly/Lyp3 #
  • Temporary workaround for overheating iPhones: in the freezer. That’s a usability failure, isn’t it? http://ping.fm/aZKMo #
  • Searching for a display driver, I come across an upgrade wizard. I install it, run it: 44 recommended updates. $29.95 please. Huh? #
  • Too many poor Search hits cause psychological distress, search exhaustion. A “supercommunity” solution: http://ping.fm/EojHU #
  • Is it bad to add to a post after it’s published? Sometimes I can’t resist. Like today’s P.S. about Seth Godin. http://fivesketches.com #
  • One of the largest tributaries of the River of Greatness is always the Stream of Adversity.” Is this related to my lost paddle? #
  • I like the all-in-one chat window of Skype 4. I dislike the 3 clicks req’d to reply to incoming text mssg. Why’s usability so hard for S … #
  • The use of the word “Usability” on Twitter has doubled over the past few months. More Twitterers or more attention to usability? #
  • Got poor usability ? A “competor” will provide the info instead. Eg: in some cities, Google competes w/ transit companies in trip planning. #
  • In the future, others will repackage the info from unusable sites to help users find what they need. A service paid for by ad revenue. #
