My Twittering (2009-05-03)
- Looking at Androida Free WordPress business theme. Cool. http://bit.ly/11hnt9 Do I have the courage to switch themes on FiveSketches.com…? #
- Usability of swine-flu news: Fail, because current stats are within the norm. “In Canada, 4000 die each year from flu.” http://bit.ly/Uqdcz #
- Usability as political philosophy. Imagine policies and laws that take common human responses/behaviours into account. http://bit.ly/W9oKC #
- Who would pay £1000 for a limited-series Blackberry? I’d like to know how its keyboard differs. http://bit.ly/SboCD #
- I was on Facebook all week. Why didn’t I know Facebook asked us to vote on new terms of service until after voting closed? I usu vote. #
- Troubleshooting my webcam; it starts working without a clear, causal action on my part. No feedback = mystery = disempowering ≠ usability #
- To improve #airline websites: progress bars, clear errors; airport info. Average #usability rating: 57%. High: 71%. http://bit.ly/DY9gs #
- Plain language is for non-native speakers, for the cognitively challenged, and for rushed readers. Oh, that’s me. #
- Phone-caused crashes: 44% drivers jerk the wheel searching for phone after incoming-txt-email ring; 20% eyes off road to dial, 14% to talk #
- RT “It’s easy to spread panic when expressing fears in 140 characters or less” says @dbarefoot in http://bit.ly/OACXI #
- Annoying user experience: Disney makes me watch a toothpaste ad, then announces that “This video is not available in your area.” #
- Attending @rahelab’s all-day session on developing your online brand. I’ve done it half right, and the other half is on my to-do list. #
- RT @timesjoanna And the phrase of the day is “transaction friction”. #
- I spend time putting content on my site; I should also drive traffic to it. In today’s Online Brand session by @rahelab, I’m learning how. #
- When your online presence is thin/skimpy, people stretch what’s there to make up a story that fills in the gaps. Will they get it right? #
- RT @CreativeSage Spammers who tell me how to get rich—drop me or become my clients & innovate to become less annoying, more successful! #
- A roomful of people told me what my profile photo “says” to them: eyes down, multitasking, shows my age, webcam pic. Need new photo. #
- You can’t control your brand. (Thanks, Google.) Once it’s out there, it’s out there, but you can control your message. #OnlineBrand #
- Manage your brand by telling people what you WANT them to read/know. #OnlineBrand #
- What I *thought* my profile photo says: I’m online, I’m not distant, I’m friendly. It’s time for a more “professional” photo. #OnlineBrand #
- I agree with only 4 of “5 Things to Avoid When Marketing in Twitter” http://tinyurl.com/ca97xy …Guess which one I disagree with? #
- Places to manage your message: on your blog, in social communities (LinkedIn, Ning, MeetUp). Publish text, photos, & video. #OnlineBrand #
- Subscribe to your own RSS feed. If something gets messed up, you’ll be among the first to know. #OnlineBrand #
- Update your IM/chat status to tell people what yuo’re doing, professionally. Ping.fm is good for one-stop updates. #OnlineBrand. #
- Book reviews are a good way to manage your message. When someone Googles your name, your book reviews show up. #OnlineBrand #
- Efficient management of your message: schedule your blog posts. (Mine go out every 2 days at 6:55am.) #OnlineBrand #
- Integrated brand: “What do I want people to know about me?” and how will that info flow? Planning my social media map. #OnlineBrand #
- RT @brycej The challenge of switching between software and web design isn’t the interaction patterns, it’s the different set of compromises. #
- I’m eager to see Windows 7, but nervous to read that only Windows 7 Pro & Ultimate can “run many Windows XP productivity applications.” #
- Installed Internet Explorer 8 and lost all my Home Page tabs from Internet Explorer 7. #
- Rereading a 5-year-old study: companies that use design effectively outperform competitors by 200% on stock market. http://bit.ly/Ltkwu #
- The newsfeed model of social interaction (Twitter, Facebook) drowns me. Across the chasm I want tools that help me sip. #
- Why would a legitimate researcher report a 60% drop rate for Twitter that excludes 3rd-party readers? http://bit.ly/ErnZM #
