Design Case Study: Amazon Drop-Down
Written on September 6, 2011 at 12:11 pm, by cct
Good job Amazon for this new design roll-out that highlights their key free offerings and their deals. Definitely
- considers the user
- leverages interest in free content
- shows Amazon’s positive offerings.
- Additionally, it’s also not at all intrusive – disappearing the moment someone starts typing.

I Am Not A Hipster

Does it make me a hipster to make a Venn Diagram?
…even if supposedly making that declaration might make me one (MFA Confidential – Jessie Morrison noted in her “Am I A Hipster?” post that denial is a sign that you are).
Shifts in Facebook: Commenting on Wall Posts

Facebook Shifting Borders?
The other day my friend Ian and I were having a facebook wall conversation and it wasn’t until he commented on my message on his wall that I realized you could comment on that as well (hey…there’s some things I don’t pay attention to 
).
As my friend Bobby just did the same thing earlier (commenting on my wall post), I write this post being all kinds of divided. Is this the end of the wall-to-wall? It makes sense because then the conversation follows on your profile where it began and you can see the exchange of things. But then, I feel that you miss that element of two people on different profiles talking to each other.
Efficient: Facebook Site Governance Vote

Screenshot - Facebook TOS Voting
Well…sort of efficient. When I tried voting the first couple of times I received all these error messages. In any case, if you haven’t heard voting has now begun for the new Terms of Service (TOS) on Facebook – revised version with an input of comments from users and experts or reverting back to the 9/08 version before the mass hysteria of libertarian-esque outcry (It’s the internet. We’re still the wild, wild west).
Way more efficient than Mark Zuckerberg’s inefficient FB blog post.
