Palo Alto Meetup
Scott and I had a good time meeting folks this evening. I hope you new alpha users are ‘lounging happily.
Besides the pleasure meeting some interesting folks, we got some good feedback and got to watch people using the software for the first time. That is always an interesting event for an interaction designer (users will always find a way to surprise the designer). I was interested that no one tried to use the keyboard until I suggested it; we need to make that functionality more obvious somehow.
A few people there were taking photos, so hopefully we’ll be able to link to them soon.
UPDATE: Adam Tow’s photos from the evening are up on Flickr (and on his blog).
Huh. See, I use the keyboard all the time. I bet Dougal does, too … but then, we were first-wave alpha testers.
Indeed … Flickr those photos, folks! Welcome to the ‘lounge.
Alex,
Thanks for demoing your product to us. I was thinking about the keyboard thing. I just scrolled through my feeds at bloglines and realized I’ve been trained to use the mouse and scroll wheel with web apps.
Maybe that will change now that apps are becoming more interactive with AJAX style of UI.

Wow, talk about a lot of Apple gear… *drools*
Hey Alex, you ever been told you look like someone famous or anything? I swear you look familiar, but I don’t have a clue where I could have seen you before…
