Since when does search correlate to productivity?
Communicating, managing projects, taking notes, reviewing/signing documents, sending payments, drafting designs, outlining documents, finding/ordering kit -- are these not productive?
Yeah, you're probably not doing hardcore document creation, or real research, away from a keyboard, comfortable chair, and a nice big screen, but that's not the shape of all productivity.
- jonknee 11y ago> Since when does search correlate to productivity? I think it's active vs. passive. You search to find something vs just consuming whatever Zuckerberg thinks you want to know about.
- roc 11y agoAre taking notes, managing projects, sending emails, outlining documents, etc not active?
- jonknee 11y agoNo, but those activities are dwarfed by time spent passively consuming content on Facebook.
- roc 11y agoFor some users, sure. But that'd be about the user, not the platform. And more specifically, that'd probably be mostly about the time and place of use, not even the user. If those same people had a 27" screen during that same slice of time and space, they'd probably be doing the same thing.
- Retric 11y ago'finding/ordering kit' How is that not search?
- roc 11y agoWhen you already know which vendors you're using. If we get our misc bits from newegg, I might search newegg, but I don't need google.
