Comments Off Break on Fail

I haven’t blogged much about software development and usually don’t blog about work related issues at all. Which is kind of strange, as this is a huge part of my life, and something I’m really interesting in.
With this post I try to change that. Slowly. Just to see how it goes.
I’ll start by telling you a story about failure, and how to learn from it. Not because I’m a negative person, but because failure, should be see as an excuse to stop and ponder. There’s often something important to learn.
We, and by we I mean me and the development team of Metaconomy, of which I’m the product manager and daily contact person, failed last week. The goal for the week, was to refactor the partnership functionality and UX, in our Channel Performance Manager solution.
Second thoughts on Flattr

I’ve had a chance to think a bit more about Flattr, and what kind of impact it can have on the ‘net.
(My first post about Flattr, for those that missed it: http://b.tc.dk/2010/05/flattr/)
First of all, and this may seem kind of strange, I’m a bit scared of the negative impact that this can have on the kind of content we’ll see on the net.
The Negative
Consider this: If you read an article on the net, what will make you click the Flattr button?

Flattr

I got a mail this morning, with a registration code for a closed beta, to something called… Flattr.
I was very close, to throwing it in the spam bin – luckily my brain connected the name to something before I did that, and I took a closer look. Flattr is a “social micropayment platform”. Meh, well, everything bloody social, but anyway, it’s supposed to work like this:
1. If you have something of value on the net, you put a “flattr” button in it.
2. If somebody read/watch your content and like it they will click that button.
3. At the end of the month you’ll get a share of that person’s Flattr money for that month.

Android User Experience: Listviews
By TC, 2010/05/11 21:06
I’ve had my Nexus One for over a month now. Normally I would have blogged something about it by now, but for some reason I haven’t really had a need. Maybe it’s because it just works. I haven’t really had anything to complain about – yes, it took some getting used to not having to constantly tweak the Wi-Fi/3G connection (like I had to on my WinMo phone), but I’ve learned to leave it alone now.
I do want to talk a bit about some of the user experiences, different applications have given to me. I’ve a few hopes and suggestions that I would like to share with you.
Most of it is aimed at developers, but maybe some users might want to add their own comments to this.
