Early adopters, from a product person’s view
Today I got lunch with a friend who recently put his startup on hold. He’s remaining productive, as is good, and is continuing to educate himself, and refine his ideas. We talked briefly about why his startup hasn’t already become successful — why it didn’t connect with users in the way he wanted it to.
He described his product as being something that is at the intersection of technology and food, taking some of the more advanced ideas of how tech affects our daily lives, and making it available to people who are really into food.
How To Read Your Users’ Minds With Better Menu Options
I use Rdio for some of my online music needs (though I still turn to our pals up in Gainsville at Grooveshark for harder-to-find music).
They do something in their UI that I really like. It’s sort of a “user interface, user experience, product” decision — it shows that they have a good understanding of how people will use the individual features of Rdio on a daily basis.
In Rdio, you can add music to your collection, which is basically a bookmark for music you like. You can also download the music to a mobile device so that if you’re taking the N-train underground — or if you are an AT&T subscriber at all — you’ll be able to listen to music without a cell signal.
