It's hard to find people to follow, even though I'm well-connected to the initial group of users (lots of friends in YC, started using Quora in 2009, etc.).
It's made worse because the Facebook Connect prompt on the homepage shows ~12 friends using the site, but once I log in I can't find them. There should be a word for that. Soup Nazi UX or something. "Here's some soup. NO SOUP FOR YOU."
- shazad 15y agoHey jfarmer, thanks for checking out the site. That looks like a bug - you should automatically be following them if you used Facebook. We'll look into it right away.
- jfarmer 15y agoI didn't connect with Facebook because I know all the dirty tricks people play. ;) I can't connect now, after the fact. There are also some simple design oversights. For example, any time I see a list of people, there should be a "follow" button next to their name. It's actually quite hard to find people to follow starting from nothing, unless I want to follow some of the 8-10 people you suggest automatically. I'd give the first-time experience a C+.
- shazad 15y agoGood feedback. We have a feature to connect with FB after the fact, but it's a bit hidden so we'll make that more prominent.
