For me, at least, viewer 2.0 is not the iPod interface of virtual worlds:-)Cristopher Lefavrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07668868185639345724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669971322629544449.post-91898297203726763642010-04-25T20:41:30.565-07:002010-04-25T20:41:30.565-07:00good observations, especially in regard to why the...good observations, especially in regard to why the sudden change in your feeling toward the new browser. while change forced onto us can be taxing and require adaptation (as M said), it could also be that the new browser is just not quite right and beyond "just get used to it" type of an approach<br /><br />when something "just works", it typically will do better than a product that simply misses it by a tiny bit<br /><br />iPods are successful because they are well designed. i had a Creative Zen a few years back. Creative has made outstanding computer peripherals for years, so i figure their MP3 player should be very good. i am sure they spent months developing it and millions of dollars<br /><br />but it just was to awkward to use and i gave it a year (it was kind of expensive for me) but eventually got an iPod. the difference was evident right away. going from not using it at all to using it all day, everyday<br /><br />they both do the same, they both are close in size - but one's interface was easier. not that any one thing stood out, just a better flow<br /><br />that small diff may be what is at play with the new viewer and i suspect is what is causing the challenge for you<br /><br />small decisions have big consequences - MySpace used to be the bomb, but now Facebook is. some of that is in ease-of-use<br /><br />thanks for posting this thought provoking article =)iliveislhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00412300946166700450noreply@blogger.com
