Use the toggle to turn off the social stuff then.
- JS_startup 15y agoA UX lesson I learned long ago: If you have to have an option for it then it's a poor design
- zanny 15y agoA UX lesson I just know: It is better to have options than unchangeable defaults. Another UX lesson: do one thing and do it well. Apparently Google forgot that. I still think it is a great one. And yes, I know it pertains to the function software plays and web empires are a different beast, but I find the poetic irony of the down the rabbit hole fiasco being related to a *nix quib delicious.
- ramblerman 15y agoI think as a professional it's incredibly useful to have little rules like this that provide a structure out of which to make quick judgements and decisions. But don't become complacent and let these transform into actual beliefs. There is no quicker way to kill your creativity.
- potatolicious 15y agoI still think it's very poor design that the toggle is: 1 - Completely unlabeled, nor is the icon indicative/clear. 2 - Not sticky. It will turn itself back on, even though this is neither implied nor stated in the UI. 3 - The only way to actually turn it off is to dig into your search settings - what percentage of your users actually know that exists, much less think about looking there?
