  1. @vanlancker Ha! I thought the same thing. Maybe migrate them over to the 'Acquaintances' or 'Restricted' list.
  2. @bnrsso Definitely. I've got more in me than that ;)
  3. In summary, I think Facebook have diluted their story. What are they? How is their product compelling (as opposed to their platform)?
  4. Personally I think Facebook would have created a better opportunity focusing on Close Friends. Camera feels like a broken experience to me.
  5. Why do tech companies fade more quickly than other? Perhaps cos they're like the intense friends that are always in your face. It's tiring.
  6. Facebook is definitely in another discovery phase. Or maybe disorder is a side effective of their hack culture?
  7. Catching up after a crazy 3 weeks. Only just reading about Axis and Fb Camera. More amazed that I feel left behind after only a day or two.
  8. So happy to be seeing so many follow notification emails the last few days from you guys. Enjoy! /cc @Fludapp
  9. @zenona And yes, your assumption is correct. Work has been hella busy.
  10. @zenona Dang. I'll look more into it, but same as all in-air gestures - looks tiring. I'm looking forward to people hacking it though.
  11. How did I miss this?? “@zenona: Leap is available for preorders! — live.leapmotion.com/pre-order-the-…
  12. @pushingatoms Come on man. That hardly exemplifies quality print design.
  13. Check out these amazing forced perspective photos from Laurent Laveder. Moon games: pixheaven.net/galerie_us.php…
  14. @fchimero I think it's that people don't know how to describe themselves online. That they don't understand who they are. #themanual
  15. Interaction designers focus on the worst case scenarios, while communication designers focus on the best case. Both are equally important.
  16. The architect built a crappy airport, the IDer made shitty products, the service people hate their jobs etc., and the C-suite don't care.
  17. Flying is not a bad experience because airlines lack a "UX designer," it is bad because most people suck at their respective job.
