Dear Facebook, “Liking” is not “Following”

May 3rd, 2012

Facebook plays it really shady with it’s “Like” button on their inner “Pages”.

Everywhere on the net their like buttons just help quantify empathy towards content, however, when it comes to “Liking” a Facebook page, what you’re doing is really “Following”.

Don’t be surprised if you get more “followers” on Facebook, yet the rate of losing them is also faster. It’s all based on user experience deception. C’mon Zuck, of all companies Facebook doesn’t need to be so cheap.

It’s quite worrying what is going to happen to Facebook once it goes public if it’s already acting so cheap.

It’s 2012 and elevator designers still haven’t put an UNDO button in panels

April 26th, 2012


Don’t you hate when the wrong floor has been selected by someone and then everybody in the elevator has to pay with time for that error.

Enter the UNDO button for elevators. Such a simple idea.

It could work in 2 ways.

1. You press the button and it unselects the last button pressed, and so on.

2. You press the button, all selected buttons change color to hint the user you can undo any of them, and then press the floor you want to unselect.

Better yet! when are touchscreen elevator panels coming? that way we could update them, and even put ads on them (and even ads related to the floor you’re going to if you’re in a commercial building)
