There are some good examples in this slide deck, but it seems to be lacking a deeper explanation of "why" the author came to each conclusion.
There is a reason companies choose abstract words for their products. If the Wii was still "Nintendo Revolution", it would quickly become un-revolutionary. If Twitter was called "Status" or "Update", they would be narrowly defining their intent for the product. Abstract names don't carry the baggage of a definition.
As an aside: I am coming to hate these slide decks filled with one-liners and little context. Why can't we get a transcript of what the speaker was saying for each slide?
- destraynor 15y agoYou sure can. But I have to go write that up too. The Why was explained in the talk itself , naturally. The video will be posted
- dirtyaura 15y agodestraynor, thanks for the presentation, a lot of good thinking there. Subtle differences between "verbs" and "nouns" of interfaces and cultures they create inside social networking services is one of the reasons that I don't believe in the idea of federated social networks, i.e. sharing superficially similar content "nouns" and "verbs" between social networks. Waiting for the video of the talk!
