STUDY: 71% Of Facebook Users Self-Censor Posts - AllFacebook - 0 views

  • 71 percent of the 3.9 million Facebook users profiled self-censored at least one post or comment over a 17-day period.
  • 71 percent of users exhibited some level of last-minute self-censorship in the time period, and provide specific evidence supporting the theory that a user’s “perceived audience” lies at the heart of the issue: Posts are censored more frequently than comments, with status updates and posts directed at groups censored most frequently of all sharing use cases investigated.

Experience Design Will Rule in the Post-PC Era | Forrester Blogs - 0 views

  • 77% of mobile searches take place in the home or at work where a PC is readily available. Whether you call it lazy or convenient, the simple fact is smartphones and tablets are quickly becoming the go-to computing devices for consumers.
  • In the post-PC era, customers expect companies to provide experiences aligned with their needs and abilities, in the right context, and at their moment of need.
  • Today, content is the interface and navigation is performed directly through gestures and voice commands. As a result, interactions are becoming multi-modal, engaging users through multiple senses.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Adaptive. As customer interactions fragment across devices, experiences must perform reliably across an expanding interface landscape that includes PCs, laptops, smartphones, tablets, and, increasingly, TVs and cars. But just having a presence on these devices is not enough. Experiences must persist across these devices
  • Further, they need to become polymorphic, taking advantage of the connected devices that surround us to delivernew multi-device experiences that were not possible before.
  • As consumers adjust to post-PC realities, they expect companies to provide the right mix of content and functionality at the right time and right place.
  • design and customer understanding, not technology, will rule the post-PC era. In a time when you can hire a handful of engineers to build just about anything you want, value shifts from what is possible to what is desirable.

7 Design Principles, Inspired By Zen Wisdom | Co.Design: business + innovation + design - 0 views

  • “The quality of shibumi evolves out of a process of complexity, though none of this complexity shows in the result.
  • Koko emphasizes restraint, exclusion, and omission. The goal is to present something that both appears spare and imparts a sense of focus and clarity.
  • Refrain from adding what is not absolutely necessary in the first place.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • the power of suggestion is often stronger than that of full disclosure. Leaving something to the imagination piques our curiosity and can move us to action.
  • Eliminate what doesn’t matter to make more room for what does.
  • Kanso dictates that beauty and utility need not be overstated, overly decorative, or fanciful. The overall effect is fresh, clean, and neat.
  • In the months leading up to its June 2007 launch, it was hailed as one of the most-hyped products in history. To hype something, though, means to push and promote it heavily through marketing and media. Apple did the exact opposite: Steve Jobs demonstrated it at Macworld 07 just once.
  • The goal of fukinsei is to convey the symmetry of the natural world through clearly asymmetrical and incomplete renderings. The effect is that the viewer supplies the missing symmetry and participates in the creative act.
  • Leave room for others to cocreate with you; provide a platform for open innovation.
  • Datsuzoku signifies a certain reprieve from convention. When a well-worn pattern is broken, creativity and resourcefulness emerge.
  • Doing something isn’t always better than doing nothing.
  • Antoine de Saint-Exupéry: “Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”

Facebook Still Reigns Supreme With Teens, But Social Media Interest Dwindling | TechCrunch - 0 views

  • 33 percent of the 5,200 teens surveyed choose Facebook as their most important social network. Following behind, Twitter has 30 percent of the vote, while 17 percent of teens say that Instagram is the most important social network.
  • What’s notable, however, is that interest in Facebook seems to be declining heavily among teens. Though teens still dub Facebook their most important social network, Piper Jaffray reports that the numbers are down regarding how many teens see Facebook as the most important social media website. Over the past year, the number of teens who deem Facebook as the most important social media site has dropped from more than 30 percent to just over 20 percent. But it’s not just Facebook. Almost all social media sites have either seen a decline or stagnation in their importance to the teen demographic.
