Why I’m over FaceBook

…social backbone of the web, open platform of the future, brave new world, business/social networking paradise, all things to all people, the new Google, blah blah blah.

If it is so wonderful why do I have to go to a browser and log in to interact? Didn’t Skype and Twitter solve this ages ago? Where’s the ubiquosity? The seemless desktop integration? Sheesh!

Fitts’s Law

Fitts’s Law basically says that if you make something bigger and more clickable, it is easier to click on. Terrible truism but ultimate proof that common sense isn’t.

If you want to get Fitts’s Law, or explain it to a client that doesn’t quite understand, send them to this post.

Word up to Daring Fireball for the nudge.
