- shortformblog 10y agoThat's Digiday (which published the article), not Little Things, just an FYI.
- xufi 10y agoThat reminds me of that study that was done a while ago that showed how much information you can guess about people based om their FB posts http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/30/technology/facebook-tinkers-with-users-emotions-in-news-feed-experiment-stirring-outcry.html?_r=0 http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/30/technology/facebook-tinker...
- puranjay 10y agoWell, these little things matter when you want people to come back to your site :)
- morgante 10y agoWow, that's pretty abhorrent of Digiday. It's a true dark pattern. You have no mail there. Certainly not one message. They're blatantly lying to users in an attempt to get emails.
- chinathrow 10y agoDisqus has the same dark patterns, stealing traffic from their advertising base.
