Do you find that you are using voice only or video conference and voice? What have been some of the hurdles that you've experiences in getting folks to use VC vs. just voice and how did you overcome them?

Broken or not, those inside government shouldn't be circumventing the government. That is a very slippery slope. Broken or not. Who's to say you'll agree with the next administration's view when they go around the "broken" system?

The fact that government employees worked as a "parallel version of the FCC" is concerning. FCC has processes to get full representation and input. While these individual listened to those companies, they were not able to get full public opinion and it was done by invite only. What was wrong with the proper process?

I fly about 150,000 miles a year mostly regional with some cross-country. I fly Delta whenever I can. I think Delta nails it on regional carries (non-CRJ-100) and the mainline fleet. The product is great, the experience is complete (and everything is "on-brand") and the employee, I have found, like their jobs and are happy to be there.

Why AirPlay audio if no AirPlay video? To allow you to listen to the video using your JamBox (or other similar device) that sounds much better.

You are dead on that they can integrate some companies. But Moto is 80 years old. YouTube barley had revenue. That's the difference.

Interesting points, I had the same thought that Google could be bailing out a partner.

Per your comment that they want to "cut out the middle" man that is the network when it comes to device sales. That's tricky, two things come to mind about that. First, Google tried and failed. What, if anything, did they learn from it that could help here? Second, Moto has always been in bed with the networks and now more so with Verizon. Verizon saved Moto with the Droid brand. It's going to be a hard mindset change for the leadership of Moto to do that to such a long standing partner, technology issues aside.And of course there is Google's lack of a proven track record of integrating existing businesses into their own efficiently and effectively.

This is a great post, thanks. And it really isn't just for Coffee Shops, sure the tips are from coffee shop owners, but almost all of the tips can relate to small local retail businesses as well. Well done.

Re: XX Combinator

Why does it have to focus for women? What is the harm in just creating a conference, TED, Y Combinator style program that has all of the attributes that would appeal to women but open it up to anyone?

These programs are great, but the "this is for women" badge (even if it is open to all) seems unnecessary. Create a program that will appeal to women but open it and market it to everyone and all benefit.

Re: Software Is Media

I think the example you provide for enterprise software isn't truly enterprise software, rather it is SMB software which is entirely different. SMB software shares more with consumer software than enterprise software.

I agree 100% with your statement, if you say SMB rather than enterprise. We'll see how this evolves as Salesforce and others continue to shift the perspective.

Some of the examples (37 signals, MailChimp) are more focused on small business/focused teams that exist within an enterprise.

I agree 100%. This brings up another reason why multi-tasking makes more sense given the different screen size. I would want a growl-like notification (not iPhone push notification) when I receive a new email or anything else on my iPad.

Flash is no. I thought about the multi-tasking. Lack of multi-tasking on the iPhone doesn't matter because the screen only allows for one true task at a time. With the new screen size it is legitimate that you want to browse the web and have my twitter client up. I see an update to the iPad OS allowing multi-tasking just like they allowed 3rd party apps.

In an integrated system (with a nice integrated view) it wouldn't really matter. But, yes, if everyone used the same username across systems it would help. That's a whole different issue (security, etc)

That is true, it would help. But OAuth was also suppose to make it simpler to control access. Perhaps it will develop to meet it's full potential despite the setbacks (see: http://www.scripting.com/st...

Interesting thoughts, Tim. I think you are dead-on about the community of startups around Pittsburgh. I recently spoke with Mark DeSantis and he had some similar thoughts. You can check it out here: http://startuppittsburgh.co...

Re: A Look Behind The Curtain At YouTube's User Experience Research

Chuck Reynolds — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 10:13:27 -0000

This is an interesting experiment. In light of what some people are suggesting, just allowing people to choose diminishes the value to both sets of users.

People will be discouraged to comment/participate if they have just the watch features. This will then make the uploaders screen less valuable to them.

With fewer uploaders, fewer videos to watch. You get the cycle.

You need to weigh both, and allowing people to customize it adds another layer of complexity to get the right experience. Also, you can't default to one without turning off the others.

Hopefully people will continue to look into Pittsburgh, it's a great city.

Actually that's not the case, I am a customer now and have found they are brutally honest. Some of the items I thought worked got nixed by the personal shopper.

They have an incentive to create a relationship with you so you come back for more. They also are very conscious of my budget. I've been pleased and look forward to continuing to use the service.
