I just deleted iWeb.app

@andrewculver Yes. Aviary is the best I've seen so far in this space. The key is to make it dead simple to do the simple tasks.

@staydecent I've got to try Ecquire out! I'm downloading it now.

@scdaustin YES. That print mental model is so hard to get over.

@kdnewton sweet! Those were early episodes. ;) Let me know what you think.

@kylefox Roast?

(from a conversation with @StephenKiers)

Switching to different software is hard because changing your workflow is hard.

@Dana_Janssen Yes.

The manipulation of images is still the hardest problem to solve for CMS users. Nobody's really cracked it.

@patio11 do you have a sample "human" dunning email?

Bootstrapping Your Way To Failure http://buff.ly/ZLXO0j

Tiered pricing vs pay-as-you-go for SaaS apps http://buff.ly/13ZvuqG

@lukemiler agreed. It's a big part of the value for monthly / recurring web apps.

What do you type-heads think of the Instagram redesign? http://buff.ly/10eHJf3

@ormanclark are you a Fireworks guy?

@itsMichelleNgai yup, just moved to Vernon, BC last year. ;)

@stevetsuida it's so sad. I've been a big Fireworks user since 1998. FW had the perfect workflow for the web.

@itsMichelleNgai it's really sad. :( I've been a big Fireworks user since 1998.

What's missing from most of the "cloud computing" news stories: customer support is one of the primary features most B2B customers want.

@macournoyer ha ha. I think they like that just a little bit better than a Brit faking a Parisian accent.

@macournoyer can you fake a Parisian accent? ;)

@Malarkey noooooooooooooooooooooooo. <tears>

@chadkoh @pixelsavvy ha ha. I don't know if we need a new icon. I'm still a big fan of a green button that says "Save".

@architexture_ca welcome to my world. ;)

@chadkoh @pixelsavvy I can think of one: many users have an "emotional need" to click "Save". The button gives them a sense of control.

@stevetsuida even tougher to explain to a 3 year-old. ;) "It's kind of like two kids not wanting to play together in the park."

My 3 year-old wants to know why Scooby-Doo and The Hulk can't be in the same movie.

#firstworldlicensingproblems

@kylefox don't dial them in too tight to start. Have fun!

@lukemiler thanks for sharing that!

RT @patio11: Suffering does not cause success.

@kylefox nice! #29er

@kylefox cheers! What'd you have?

For Canada, this is pretty warm! #vernonbc

@kdnewton nice!

@itengelhardt @evanish this is embarrassing... but true.

@roguepolymath ;)

@StephenKiers just went with my boys ;)

@PaulLetourneau @kylefox this one?

Looks awesome!

Free comic book day at Ebenezer's in #vernonbc! http://instagram.com/p/Y5lwC8joYW/

The destructive power of kids goes up exponentially for each kid you add to the group.

(If they're 3 year-olds, double it)

So glad dads fought for the right to wear our bathrobes all day on weekends. #rights

McDonald's theory http://buff.ly/123EgnH

@kdnewton does Ebenezer's do free comic day?

@caseyliss @marcoarment @siracusa +1 for @stuartgibson's “whom owns this shirt?”

Why coffee is so central in our culture http://buff.ly/136Lmcc

"Value must be greater than pain" http://buff.ly/112CupX

@SweatingCommas this is why support is such a difficult job. Proactive work (writing, planning, coordinating) requires uninterrupted focus

It's extremely difficult to switch your brain from "reactive" mode to "proactive" mode.

@KeliWestgate thanks!

Went for a hike during my lunch-hour. This was my favorite photo from that trip. #vernonbc

Love this #makesomethingyeg profile on my friends at Duchess Bake Shop http://buff.ly/13S189J

@mike_hasarms I've found working from my own office is WAY better than working from home.

@amyhoy red bull > coffee for you?

@kylefox these seem good.

"Joanna pointed out the main problem with my copy - the language was all focused on me" http://buff.ly/10vBALd Great post from #microconf

@stympy you might like our interview with @Evanish (KISSmetrics) on his customer development process http://productpeople.tv/2013/03/27/ep19-jason-evanish-shares-his-process-for-understanding-customers/

@stevetsuida why'd you have to be so damn rational? ;)

"Flexible outdoor urinal that recycles the pee of festival visitors" http://buff.ly/ZCuSYr

@Carson great post Carson!

@greycanalcoffee yeah. But that dairy farmer selling cream in the booth next to you was pissed.

@tnorthcutt @amyhoy Thanks! I appreciate the encouragement.

RT @smashingmag: ProductPeople.tv: a podcast for people who make their living building beautiful products - http://www.productpeople.tv

@thomasfuchs @amyhoy ha ha ha. Yes. And we only covered 10%!

@garyvee ha ha. Did you and @Schmoodles plan this?

@JamesAddison screw sleeves!

The @jeffgarlin podcast is the best thing on the Internet http://www.earwolf.com/show/by-the-way-in-conversation-with-jeff-garlin/

I like black t-shirts with the sleeves ripped off.

@nathanbarry @DriftRepublic no shipping for us Canucks. :(

"Jim warmed you up?" - @haddiebird to @danbenjamin on the @the_eastwing

@ormanclark is Dunked built on Wordpress? Looks good!

Here's my best career advice: learn how to sell.

@vanshkapil yes!

@ttimsmith ha ha ha. That's real life man!

@ttimsmith I have a confession to make: I ate hot dogs for breakfast.

My favorite part of my chat with @hnshah “An entrepreneur is someone who makes things that people love” http://buff.ly/10rmd6H

@kylefox yeah! I've been doing some image SEO (go to Google images and search "Justin Jackson"). I've got some strong athlete competition.

@bensardella cool. Thanks. Just got an email! I'm slammed this week, but I'd definitely like to look at that in the future. @hnshah

"Where do Product Managers hang out? On other people's websites." - @hnshah at #microconf http://buff.ly/10SmtCR

@hnshah what software is this screenshot from? Can I get that view in Kissmetrics?

@bikemech_ca hey I'm going for lunch at noon if you'd like to come!

@SweatingCommas yes. Printable reports are often important to users: they want something they can bring to meetings and say "I did this!"

@SweatingCommas yes! I've seen that motivation come up over and over again. (or were you being sarcastic?) ;)

I have to keep reminding myself: users don't care about tools or features. They care about outcomes.

@happytables is version 2.0 still built on Wordpress?

@jimmyjacobson Was he talking about GoInstant?

@evankirby you have to listen to this podcast http://www.earwolf.com/show/by-the-way-in-conversation-with-jeff-garlin/ the Zach and Conan episodes are excellent.

Ain't no party like a Jackson house party. http://instagram.com/p/YtxCDsDoYe/

@sandersitos yes this is a good rule!

@jimmyjacobson who was that?

@amyhoy "In the 1980s, the average mother spent 13 hours per week on childcare. Now, it's 22 hours a week." http://www.marketplace.org/topics/life/freakonomics-radio/freakonomics-how-much-influence-does-parent-have-childs-education

@amyhoy we were (at the beginning) as well. But once we had more kids, we couldn't do it anymore. So much time, energy, stress and worry.
