Surprised to find out Google even employ a designer at all. They are still doing basic UX mistakes like this from the new G+ settings page:
1. Allow viewers to download my photos and videos shared on Google+
2. Don't feature my publicly shared Google+ photos as background images on Google products and services
Slider 1 is "on" for yes, slider 2 is "off" for yes. Just rephrase the second statement to a positive from a negative and both sliders will be "agree" to the left and "Disagree" to the right.
Then expand one of the expander arrows in the Notifications section. The first line "
Occasional updates about Google+ activity and friend suggestions" isn't a question at all, so I'm not sure if I'm agreeing or not. Most of the other statements start with "Show...", but this one is just a blank statement. No consistency at all. With Posts expanded, the top slider button looks like it will be an 'everything on' or everything off' button, but it isn't. So it seems to not have a relationship to the any of the expandable subcategories below it. The "People" expando/expander has only a single button, so no need to expand it all all, then. And so on.
Google do interaction design like an engineer with an ego.
- anon1385 10y agoI expect they tested the wording of those two questions to find the combination that gives them the most "engagement". Google interaction design is more scam artist than engineer.
