Go Ask Grandma: How To Design For “Normals”
http://www.nirandfar.com/2012/03/go-ask-grandma-how-to-design-for.html
Here’s the gist:
- Designing technology novices is a secret of great product design for all.
- First, it is important to quickly show the user what the product is for.
- Guide novice users down a path designed to delight them while teaching how the service helps them.
- Your site needs to be valuable and engaging to users before they sign up for account and even if none of their friends have joined.
- Designing for novice users often uncovers needs shared by mass markets.

Quick Coding Quandry - can I code this into a Gadget for HTML site?
https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Ak7w8e-WyzvkdEk0NklqdDltd3F0NGFkTER6eEJybGc&hl=en_GB
Can you embed a clever, excel like gadget in simply HTML page?

A friend has very kindly designed and produced (in HTML) our website - http://www.napa-technology.co.uk

I want to create a gadget to calculate pay back etc - just like the one I've modelled in the excel document linked to in the title.

Just want to assess the feasibility as I'll be looking for someone to do this and want to know what i'm asking for!

Any comments on our new site are much appreciated - I like the design personally but think it could be modernised a bit in terms of layout, coding etc.
Ask HN: What are your thoughts on Covid discounts in SaaS?
Are you offering them?
Are you expecting them?
What is your policy on providing them?

Should we ask our own providers for discounts too?
How would this affect the industry as a whole?
Do we expect our hosting providers and employees to cut their income as well?
How would that cascade across the industry?

We're finding a wide variety of those booming and those crushed by the current economic winds. How about you?

Are you passionate?
http://www.stjernstrom.com/2011/09/are-you-passionate/
Reading Eric Schmidt’s quote the other day:

“Life is short, work with people you like”

Got me thinking about passion and how lucky I am to be working with and having worked with what I love and have a passion for, for the past 20 (gulp!) years. Including my current job working on secret project I’m not allowed to talk about yet. I’ve been lucky enough to work with technology that I love with people that I love working with and for.

Being lucky enough to work on what you’re passionate about (and getting paid to do it!) is something I wish everyone gets the opportunity to do in their lifetime.
So how many of you out there are passionate about what you do? What would you work on if given the choice?

Open Letter (Email) to Bill Gates
http://wbienek.blogspot.com/2011/06/bill-yes-im-super-fan-but-not-afraid-to.html
I'm just another programmer geek (started w/ a commodore 64 / Atari 800 - I had both) I saw on CNN online/video a program/story about african human rights violations, etc. and thought about you. As you know, Steve Balmer's days are numbered. I like Steve Balmer. He is as good as any CEO could be. (Listen.. I'm relatively old school, I was in my mid/early (22... 23) twenties at the Microsoft had its high point: when Win 95 was released) ..

If this were in Roman times, you would realize we have a MOB MENTALITY going on right now. People (stock holders/pundits) want to have someone's head on a stick. I don't actually agree.. I just think the 'market' is so fluid, anyone (see .. Nokia et al) could be seen as being behind the curve.

Make no mistake.. the media/pundits in general are putting you in this 'box'. The BOX is not one you want to be in right now as a company and as the majority stock holder who wants to use his wealth to help people.

30 Cool High Tech Gadgets To Give Your Home A Futuristic Look

These innovations appear from a necessity of solving the problems that old products have and besides new and improved functions, they also come with a beautiful design.

By tapping into the "second screen" of a TV viewer (the mobile phone or tablet), brands have new ways of maximizing the absurdly expensive cost of a Super Bowl ad ($3.5 million per 30 seconds - up a whopping 17% from last year) while having additional metrics to measure against an ad's efficacy.

Birdhouse Helps You Polish Your Twitter Posts
http://www.latimes.com/technology/deals/?articleId=48073432&assetId=48073432&channelId=12695&buyerId=latimescom&buid=1&destination=1398&articleTemplateId=677&badgeTemplateId=10646&widgetClass=IDG
Twitter apps for the iPhone may seem like a dime-a-dozen (or, to account for inflation, 99-cents-a-pop), but the newly released Birdhouse (iTunes link), by Sandwich Dynamics, isn't your dad's Twitter app--although, if your dad is on Twitter, kudos for having such a hip pater.

The first app by Sandwich Dynamics--and I hold out hope that the next app is actually sandwich-related, mmmm--the $4 Birdhouse only concerns itself with one facet of Twitter: the composition of award-winning, needle-sharp tweets of infinite wisdom. Consider it a sort of repository for your thoughts that have yet to make it to Twitter. The developers bill it as a "notepad for Twitter," where you can jot down ideas and edit them until they're finally ready for public consumption.

Birdhouse supports multiple accounts, saving drafts, the ability to rate your own tweets and sort by those ratings, unpublishing tweets that don't quite meet your strict criteria, and backing up all your data via e-mail.

Of course, the chief thing you can't do with Birdhouse is read other people's tweets, making Birdhouse more of an addition to your existing Twitter client rather than a full-fledged replacement for it. A Twitter composer for the discerning tweeter, if you will (and if you won't, then no worries).

In the interest of full disclosure, I'm acquainted with one of the app's developers and have been beta-testing Birdhouse for a few months now--I also enjoy piña coladas and getting caught in the rain. In the interest of full disclosure.
JUNE is the Modern Fashionista’s Smartest Defense for Sun Protection

Adversities that lie with the exposure to UV radiation through sunrays is not an unknown fact anymore. It has been over three decades now since the earth got introduced to extreme UV ray effects due to the increase in ozone layer depletion across the globe. This was a major concern for the scientific fraternity because not only did the UV exposure bring deteriorating health hazards amongst plants and animals but was also causing severe diseases like skin cancer amidst humans.

Show HN: Engage followers – Reduce range dump, Increase meaningful discussions
https://engagefollowers.com
I think that most of us spend our time on Twitter usually in rage dumping because we're forced to interact with random people without common interest.

I believe if we could interact with people with common interests on Twitter then we can build meaningful relationships with them.

Fortunately we do have access to people on Twitter with common interests - Our followers; But it's currently not easy to spot what connects us with our followers as we might not follow back all our followers and even if we do there's no guarantee that we'd see all their tweets or those tweets which matter to us.

Hence I've created 'engage followers' and it works by,

1. Monitoring the tweets of our Twitter followers.

2. Classifying their tweets according to our chosen topics of interest.

3. Sending the list of tweets which matches our topics to us via an email digest and/or Auto liking them(So we can check those tweets in the likes section of Twitter).

I've seen good results over the past week since I've launched engage followers, Getting to know about some like minded followers on my personal & product accounts. I hope you'd give it a try and tell me how it can be made more useful.
