@ryrytomtom ha ha. Thanks. ;)

@ryrytomtom I wonder if @deVineWinesEDM would have it. I'm in #vernonbc now.

RT @SachaGreif: Speaking about eBooks and marketing, @mijustin is writing one too: http://buildandlaunch.net/ And I think I’m the sexiest guy o…

@uxisthepoint thanks for sharing my post!

I think the degree of "it has too look good" depends on the audience.

@andybons wow, x1000! ;) what part was more significant for you?

@ryrytomtom it's really good. It's in the sampler pack right now.

@stevewandler ha ha. Great shot! Thanks for coming out Steve! @okdg

@CharityJoy great to meet you! Really enjoyed your talk (I took some good notes).

@emma_bullen thanks Emma! Great to meet you.

@SachaGreif wow, thanks! The pressure's on to deliver. ;)

@PatrickKerby whoa. That is so tempting. ;) @lorindaapps @100milehousebnd

@SachaGreif Je ne le crois pas: la grammaire française est difficile pour un anglophone comme moi. ;)

@SachaGreif great post so far! Found one typo:

@LaneMerrifield4 Lane, thanks for following. You'd make a great guest for @productpeopletv! Would you be interested in chatting sometime?

@kylefox do you think linking to hear would work? http://justinjackson.ca/about/ What else should I add? ("I've been on the web since 1993")

@paper_leaf Do you have contact info for Repository Mag? Are they #yeg based?

@amyhoy ;)

.@medium is an interesting platform. In 3 days, "When design doesn't matter" doubled my previous most popular post.

@rrhoover thanks!

@the_ok_kid does this mean you're on Reddit?

@kylefox thanks!

@elenwinata that would have been the perfect title for this post! I'd wish I'd used that one instead. ;)

RT @mrconnorobrien: It would've been a killer "fuck you" to Google if Yahoo had announced "Yahoo Reader" today. Kinda wish they had.

@rbazinet yes!

@ttimsmith it looks like… something new. ;)

@danpliego thanks for sharing my post. ;)

@byderekj thanks for recommending my post. What was significant about it for you? https://medium.com/i-m-h-o/bb29af1b5866

@alexhorre ha ha ha. Well, she does have that.

@patio11 you two seem like a good match ;)

@alexhorre I'm just not sure how it improves their bottom line. This feels really similar to the Geocities acquisition in 1999. @ryancarson

@ryancarson how does this help Yahoo?

Tumblr users seem to be taking the news rather well. #yahoo

@tnorthcutt ha ha ha

Thanks @SidebarIO & @kylefox for linking to my post yesterday: http://sidebar.io/2013/5/19

@mindcrash visual, graphic design, is a big part of "design", isn't it?

@aral I'd love to explore this further. What is "good design" to you?

"We can spend too much time trying to make the product beautiful and neglect to solve the underlying problem." http://buff.ly/13F7V86

"The means are not the end, and desirable ends can sometimes be reached by unusual means." - Shawn Hargreaves http://buff.ly/17SkLDc

@iaincollins ;) Sounds good. @aral @mmalioris

@alexhorre I'm guessing you agree with him. ;) I'm happy to engage in good discussion about the post if you're open to it.

@aral in that process, yes (and I personally subscribe to that process).

But not every founder / team would subscribe to that definition.

@iaincollins I'm all ears. ;)

@aral I can appreciate that POV. That being said: semantics can be subjective. "How it works" is also engineering.

@aral Hey Aral, thank for joining the discussion. ;) I'm specifically talking about visual design (graphic design) @mmalioris

@kylefox https://twitter.com/ttimsmith/status/336333031369482240

@paper_leaf a better title might have been "A pretty design doesn't always matter"

@paper_leaf "when design doesn't matter" ;)

@scottharveyco that's a good question. I'd have to ask @robwalling ;)

@akaffen @SamuelHulick ha ha. True.

@akaffen @SamuelHulick always hard to untangle what kills a product: could be design, engineering, marketing, consumer taste, customer dev..

Yahoo acquires youth-driven content platform.

Wait a second. We've heard this story before… http://money.cnn.com/1999/01/28/technology/yahoo_a/

@robwalling I'm getting a lot of heat on this one. ;)

@despe_ki_roule what did you think of that post?

@BrentLachman it's been a longtime favourite of mine. The pack I just picked up has Fringate which I've never had. http://www.unibroue.com/en/beers/43/product

@ttimsmith btw, I love ya too. ;)

@Evanish what about good, constructive criticism?

@ttimsmith Thanks for your input (I thought this post would bring up some good discussion). I changed the sub-header.

@ttimsmith I'm specifically focused on the visual part of design, not design as a whole.

@Evanish @thedannorris Hi, my name is Justin.

A good product embodies just enough design + engineering to make it useful.

We can "over-design"(just like we can over-engineer).

@rskopecek thanks Randy.

Whoa, that was quick. "Design doesn't matter" is already at the top of Designer News: https://news.layervault.com

@peterwallhead no worries. ;)

@robwalling you get quick a mention in my new @Medium post: https://medium.com/i-m-h-o/bb29af1b5866 (for recommending @Wpengine)

@peterwallhead I'd love to hear your thoughts. ;)

"Design doesn't matter" is also on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/newest

I just published "Design doesn’t matter" https://medium.com/i-m-h-o/bb29af1b5866 Thanks to @mike_hasarms @MattGoldman_SD @SamuelHulick

@garyvee I think you'd like this @medium post "Quit trying to attract a crowd - just help people" https://medium.com/product-people/544ec0ec7b4b

@lrtl cool! Thanks @FullContactAPI!

@lrtl thanks for sharing! How'd you come across my post?

@SamuelHulick sorry this is late. Just DMed you.

@rskopecek sorry this is late. Just DMed you.

@rrhoover sorry this is late. Just DMed you.

Anyone else want to take a peek at this contentious "design post" I'm writing before I publish it on @Medium?

Don’t ever prioritize "the way your product looks" over it’s core function.

@amcwilliam @lorindaapps ha ha ha. It's a pretty fantastic place.

Full of mystery and wonder.
