Re:What if we reduced account creation to just an email address? on Wednesday November 13, 2013 @07:18AM (#6724697)
A confirmation email would be sent to the user, when they click on the link contained within they'd be directed to a page that would ask them to define a password.

It's about simplifying the on-boarding. The password doesn't need to be defined during the first session. Plus the email encourages re-engagement later that day.

Tap Jupiter app was created by Apisit (http://twitter.com/imapisit) and I (http://twitter.com/ys) in our spare time. We're happy to take any questions or help you try out the app. Just add the username: sayhello

Thanks guys!

Re:A New Look for Facebook on Thursday January 03, 2013 @07:37PM (#5005622)
The hype around this Facebook redesign is a testament to the fact that the user never knows what they want. He neglected revenue, typography, balance, rhythm and purpose, but that's obvious, I guess, I hope. Frozen within the current paradigm of Facebook, bickering with itself, it fails to push the argument in any direction. Good man for trying, but we have to think higher. Does Facebook even need to be a website or an app? If we're going to design so recklessly, why not commit to it? What if the solution was no Facebook?

Thanks. Updated. I'd like to credit him, if he has a preferred link.
Re:Facebook is selling invisible ad impressions on Tuesday July 31, 2012 @06:27AM (#4316528)
That doesn't sound right. Advertisements should not be charged for if they are not visible. Advertising online is horrendously bad, and this is just one of the problems with it.

Hide content and just show ads? What? Who ever suggested anything like that? If other sites are doing this, then they're messing up too. So I've no idea what are you talking about.

They are loading ad impressions that aren't visible. That's a major problem, because it's preventable. Why don't they track scroll –which I'm sure they do already– and load ads accordingly. Their only defense would be that they load the ads, but don't charge for them unless the user scrolls.

Re:Interface Design with a Homeless person on Monday July 02, 2012 @09:47AM (#4188831)
"here I was being schooled by a homeless person". Get off your fucking high horse.

Nice story otherwise.
