It sounds like agile, but really, is putting 12 bazillions features on a website a agile thing ? Agile is a company-level thing, not a development team matter.

Look at this : http://www.justin.tv/ http://www.justin.tv/ it feels like clutter to me. I suppose that they wish that putting "features" by the dozen will help them getting more users, but I think when your users start to wonder "where do I click next ?" or "what do they want me to focus on ?" ; You are not on the good tracks.
Like soccer : stop for a second, raise your head, look around, if you run fast with your head down, you'll end in the corner.
- emmett 19y agoHave you seen myspace.com? It's proof that clutter isn't the problem tech people think it is. See http://andrewchen.typepad.com/andrew_chens_blog/2007/11/do-you-ever-say.html http://andrewchen.typepad.com/andrew_chens_blog/2007/11/do-y... for more in depth coverage of the same idea.
- nraynaud 19y agook, maybe I'm not the guy to sell average product to average people then. So this is a proof that agile can be applied to average products for average users.
- gscott 19y agoWorking with actual paying customers on another system I found they liked new features even if the new feature took an hour to develop. I believe the reason is that they felt like they were paying for something when new things were being developed often. There were times when we didn't develop a new feature in an extended period of time (6 months) and people would just jump ship. They had more then enough features, 7 years worth of development but still if they didn't get there dose of a new feature every once and awhile they were as good as unsubscribed.
