Just signed up for a service and had my password immediately emailed back to me. NEVER okay. Please don't do it. (md5: almost as bad.)
A few years ago, I wrote a short novel about dragons and unicorns in Silicon Valley. It's become better satire since then. Thanks, VCs!
I would like to see: YouTube for news. Stories across sources as they happen, archived in perpetuity. Video news is important.
The first company to provide viable news across set top boxes, without needing a cable subscription, will win. Any takers?
@latakoo Social media users have less loyalty, but doesn't mean they consume less news. Surely it's healthier to get it across sources?
@alpower Just a completely lovely man, and so kind to me. Everything I've done in tech was because of him. I'm grateful. @dailyinfooxford
@alpower I'm going to go with, "idiosyncratic, but in a really inspiring way." Sample quote: "aren't other people awful?" @DailyInfoOxford
Open source is deeply rooted in code, but building software requires much more. A great talk by @erinjo. http://speakerdeck.com/erinjo/mixing-user-experience-open-source
Of course, @erinjo points out, you can have multiple sites for different personas. And you can use any name. https://withknown.com
Now @erinjo is explaining how @withknown works. If you've been following my tweets on her talk, they all came from my Known site.
Alarming comment in Q&A: "It's been a few years since I've heard anything about open source." (It's thriving!)
Resources for designers working on open source projects: http://opensourcedesign.net /via @erinjo
"A lot of people describe sending your first pull request as exhilerating, but for me it was nerve-racking." But @erinjo shows it's easy.
Something @erinjo has done (& will continue to do) great work in is communicating core UX concepts to open source developers.
Props for their design-friendly communities from @erinjo to @thinkup, @owncloud, @drupal - as well as @withknown, of course :)
Shout-out by @erinjo to @openhatch, an awesome site for open source first-timers. http://openhatch.org
.@erinjo to designers: if you want to get involved in open source, look for communities that have thought beyond scratching their own itch.
Watching @erinjo's excellent talk on design in open source, at the Oracle campus.
