mortaise··on Digg Redesigns, Loses More Than A Quarter of Audience
Change is jarring.

Given the almost radical nature of the redesign it's not surprising that people didn't want to put up with it.

But if it is something for the better. Then a better design will see an influx of new users. It'd be interesting to see their new subscription rate.

I agree. Or if you populate username/password and click signup. The details you've entered are already there.

I think so. For the non UX crowd or those starting out. You have to start understand the issues at hand somehow.

Anecdotes are stories. Stories are great ways to communicate complex issues in an easy to digest manner.

It may not be ground breaking insightful; but still relevant.

Yeah, it's all about pacing yourself; having balance.

Don't expect to get to the end goal without moderation. You'll end up going too hard and for too long. Burn out happens and momentum dies comes along with it.

mortaise··on Ask HN: The new Twitter
I'm pretty excited about this and hoping I get it enabled soon.

Centralising my experience inside just one page. No need to click on links to view, go back and reply.

It's adding just enough value to not drag it down in the complexity stakes. Twitter is known for it's simplicity. I think this features add more without looking like they've added much at all.
