Users have encountered a situation in Visio where the Reviewing toolbar is always shown. Even once you turn off the toolbar, it reappears the next time the document is opened or the Visio application is launched. Some possible explanations and remedies.
friendfeed usability issues - time for a friendfeed browser toolbar?
Tuesday, July 8th, 2008
for as much as i love friendfeed, its context can be quite disjointed. here’s a scenario to illustrate:
- i’m reading my friendfeed stream and i click a headline, that page opens in a new background tab
- i keep scrolling through other headlines, the tabbed article is to be “read later”
- i open a few more tabs, and continue scrolling
- i finish scrolling, and proceed to the articles i’ve opened for reading
- i “like” one of these articles and want to share it. now the ambiguity begins.
- do i share it using some other sharing service that will appear in my friendfeed stream? (easy)
- do i return to friendfeed, find the original post, and like it? (much harder)
- similar ambiguity is raised when i want to comment, where should i do this?
a friendfeed toolbar might record the url (and corresponding tab) of each post i open and allow me to like and comment in place. add search, and a way to post new content, and you have a full toolbar. just a thought.
friendfeed increasing site visits?
Tuesday, July 8th, 2008
just a quick thought, but longer than a tweet!
has friendfeed increased visits to websites? prior to using it as a significant aggregator i was strongly wed to google reader. unless your site only provided summaries, i rarely left reader. and unless your post called out specific comments, i missed those too. so for all the talk about friendfeed stealing the conversation, i wonder.
