So let's just think about this for a moment.
When Facebook introduced the Feed back in 2006, hundreds of thousands of people protest. Hundreds of thousands. They even had a physical protest outside on their lawn. I think many of you will agree, The Feed is Facebook.
Then they made some other tweaks in 2009 with Top News and MILLIONS of people protested in groups.
Need I talk about Apple and floppy drives?
To date, there are 397 people protesting on http://www.facebook.com/betterSkype5 http://www.facebook.com/betterSkype5
You can't please everyone all the time at scale.
- jv22222 16y agoFacebook is a social network that makes it easy for people to group together and complain about the thing they are using. For someone to complain about the Skype UI it is much harder, they would actually have to seek out a forum and register with the forum. So 397 folks actively seeking out and registering + 160 registering to Skype's own forum does say something, no? I wonder how many people really don't like it, but are living with it because they can't be bothered to seek out and register to complain!
- mydigitalself 16y agoThe Facebook page has the same viral effect (if you Like it, it will show up to all of your friends). So don't buy that. Was just skimming back through the forum link again, about 50% of the comments appear to be new forum users. So some validity in that I guess. Although, have you ever registered on a forum to say you like something or is it normally a complaint/wanting to be heard.
