Reading list: Social Graph

“Hello my LinkedIn friend…

Have you got a MySpace profile? Yes? Good…

Have you got a Facebook profile? Yes? Good…

Some of your old friends are still using Xanga? Yes?…

Great! I’ve got you on Twitter now…”

And I just read your blog on Blogger and viewed your profile. It was inspiring…

By the way, I heard that you were planning to move to the office in EU, thus thinking about creating a Xing account…

Are you tired? I mean are you tired of managing all these profiles? When you need to update one detail, do you feel the pain to go to each and every site to update your profiles?

One solution has the potential to solve this issue: Social Graph.

Social Network on Wikipedia

Lessons of Innovation

By Tai, December 6, 2007 2:01 am

Innovation cube

  1. A big part of Innovation is about selling, not just inventing.
  2. Innovation needs brainstorming and brainstorming needs rules:
    • Defer judgment
    • Stand on shoulders of giants
    • One conversation at a time
    • Focus on the topic
    • Rational and wild
  3. Creativity is not innovation. Innovation is built upon creative assets.
  4. There is no clear path or clean solution. Get your hands dirty composing, editing, reviewing, developing it.
  5. Innovation occurs at the intersection of previously unconnected and unrelated planes of thought.
  6. Prototype a lot, fail often, and fail early.

Youtube Usability Improvable

Dear Youtube logo

I love your wonderful service.

But I’ll love yours even more if you can make it quicker and clearer for me to upload videos.

1. Uploading Process

Problem: uploading process takes 2 steps

Solution: merge these 2 steps into one single page

Advantage: save users one screen load

2. Required field indicator

Problem: no indicator to distinguish required fields

Solution: put an asterisk beside each required field

Advantage: avoid confusion for users

3. Error message

Problem: very general and confusing “Please double-check your video title”.

Solution: “Title is required”

Advantage: avoid confusion of users

Upload process to youtube

Other Youtube users, what do you think of my suggestions? Please share your experience in the comments…

Thanks a lot
