And this is the most important component of strategic marketing: we’re not our customer. […] What is required, though, is a persistent effort to understand how other people see the world, and to care about it.

interfaces should be completely non-blocking. Interactions should be resolved instantly; there should be no loading messages or spinners. Requests to the server should be decoupled from the interface.

The key thing to remember is that users don’t care about Ajax. They don’t give a damn if a request to the server is still pending. They don’t want loading messages. Users would just like to use your application without any interruptions.

Facebook and Twitter and Google, each in their own way, make networking very easy. But when everyone is networked, what will everyone do next? Don’t say content. Content is hard.

Un sito è una promessa, un sito è (come) una persona. Potremmo sintetizzare: un sito è (come) una promessa fatta da una persona. Ho l’impressione che quando ci sediamo di fronte ad uno che ci sta chiedendo di progettarlo questo sito, metterla giù così da subito ci possa aiutare a risparmiare un sacco di tempo.
