What is the user problem that once we solve users can't live without?
I look at two things while angel investing. Are you solving an important problem? Do you care about the end users.
Words have users, but as well, users have words. And it is the users that establish the world's realities.
The greatest challenge Internet users face is information overload.
Big media companies have lots of money and content, but they have no way to tap into a good base of users.
Studies show that people that are on welfare are higher users of drugs than people not on welfare.
Multi-touch-sensing was designed to allow nontechies to do masterful things while allowing power users to be even more virtuosic.
I definitely do see language serving its users, and when it no longer serves them we need to look for new words.
. . . pay attention to what users do, not what they say.
I think the most difficult thing had been scaling the infrastructure. Trying to support the response we had received from our users and the number of people that were interested in using the software.
On engagement, we're already seeing that mobile users are more likely to be daily active users than desktop users. They're more likely to use Facebook six or seven days of the week.
Technologies themselves, regardless of content, produce a hemispheric bias in the users.
Good information architecture makes users less alienated and suppressed by technology. It simultaneously increases human satisfaction and your company's profits. Very few jobs allow you to do both at the same time, so enjoy.
As nice as the Apple iPhone is, it poses a real challenge to its users. Try typing a web key on a touchscreen on an Apple iPhone, that's a real challenge. You cannot see what you type.
You take a picture of yourself in some exceptional situation - skydiving or whatever. People always post those photos because it works - you're saying something about yourself that begs a conversation and that's what the users are there for.
Think of how Wikipedia works, how Amazon harnesses user annotation on its site, the way photo-sharing sites like Flickr are bleeding out into other applications. We're entering an era in which software learns from its users and all of the users are connected.
It's not like Windows users don't have any power. I think they are happy with Windows, and that's an incredibly depressing thought
There is no such thing as "the user". Users. . . come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, and they have widely varying information needs.
Why is it that drug addicts and computer aficionados are both called users?
Ultimately, it's possible that social media platforms will be designed as templates that the users themselves customize in terms of the best way to express their community and experience of life, and brands will have to simply follow suit.
