Why would you want to be disturbed every few seconds? It's bad enough with interruptions from emails, chats, skype, calls, messages, coworkers walking in etc. This might actually have the potential to kill your remaining few productive spells.
- karimf 9y agoI guess when you've spent weeks developing an interesting project, it's so satisfying to see when it gains tractions, even just one visitor. Then you turn the chirps off later when things get better.
- anonytrary 9y agoAuditory feedback can be useful in certain circumstances.
- nickjj 9y agoHearing a "cha ching" sound is really gratifying if you sell a product. That's probably why cash registers make that noise.
- digi_owl 9y agoAll manner of non-visual feedback is highly undervalued these days for some reason.
- anonytrary 9y agoI feel that web users have made it very taboo to use auditory feedback.
- michaelmcmillan 9y agoNothing is like the dopamine rush you get when a customer checks out a product you have launced.
- duiker101 9y agoWhy would you want to have fun at all? Fun really takes away time from all the productivity I could do. Apart from that. Personally I keep a tab with real time because I like to look if there is a surge of users(I mostly have max 5 concurrent users) because it might mean someone mentioned the site somewhere so I like to go and maybe try to participate in the conversation.
- beejiu 9y agoMaybe because you are early stage and wish to pay close attention to how people use your product. A sales agent might want to keep an eye on their hot prospect as they browse the website. There are lots of possibilities.
- nsgi 9y agoIf you get disturbed an average of every five seconds then you have around 6 million visits per year. Usually something worth celebrating for a new site, and you don't have to keep it on indefinitely :)
