Comment on Twitter’s Redesign and “The Mark” by tstiles

Right, social capital, the Whuffie, is on it’s way…

Yeah, adding levels of value to the Twitter Friends brings in the social capital. TweetDeck-like sorting of Friends into streams/groups helps.

I have a pretty limited Private Twitter Stream otherwise would be completely overwhelmed by all the tweets coming in, I’m not sure how others manage that…

Optional links per post:
“Do you trust this person?”
“Was this tweet helpful or valuable?”
“Do you want to see more tweets from this person?”
“Block this person.”
“Rate this post.”
“Rate this person.”
…
“Is anything this person says of value to you? At all?”

The social capital stuff starts to get really personal down the line…

He’s a lifesaver in a sea of designers who are still enamored with design. Ok, I’ll admit, I’m a design-ie, but I’m also not interested in re-inventing the wheel with each new project. Good stuff.

You summed it up nicely. I also liked the bit about taking risks and messing up, but being completely on-point about instantly spotting the difference between a mistake and a boon, continuously.

Oh wow. Netflix is one of the best web apps of all time. There’s a direct correlation between the awesomeness of the Netflix UX, and the downward spiral of Blockbuster…
