For any site, it takes time to find your rhythm and style.

There can be a tendency to see what stories get the most reads and write more of the same.

I accept the fact that some topics will not get a large audience.

I try to keep writing about things that matter to me, staying authentic.

As for design, I plan on shaking things up through Coworking

I also started a conversation on online activities and those around 50 via my Just Over 50 and Not Dead Yet Panel Idea for South By Southwest Interactive

In other words, being passionate (opinionated?) and curious can keep things fresh

There is definitely much more scope for exploring this area of web design… though I guess a common barrier is technical know-how. It’s a little different from pure aesthetics.

They convinced us that usability testing and design was critical to creating a usable application – and we went along with it because they were more knowledgeable than we were in web apps… ignoring the fact that the point would have been right even for traditional, desktop apps…
Also: People often ask me about the value of real-time collaboration (and other features) in our Google Docs & Spreadsheets app, and it became clear to us early on that besides the true functional value of working on the same. single doc, and the re-inforcing power that real-time change visualization has on that equation, the “fun factor” should not be under-estimated! It is more fun to be able to interact with the people with whom you collaborate as you work…to see where they are in a spreadsheet, to follow them around, to chat with them… we get that feedback often. It’s also the reason we do things like the GoogleLookup() function… Yes, it’s functional, but it’s also fun.
