Is there a way they could test improvements without pushing them on 150 million users? I have to imagine they already have some internal testing process.
What's a good practice?
Also, Matt, love the new site theme. I think I've been convinced to finally give up white on black (Except for my terminal. It'll be a cold day in hell before those design nazis convince me to change the colors on my terminal).

- mattmaroon 18y agoWell, the problem isn't the scope. The test would have just told them that a lot of people would complain they didn't like it, which they probably already knew. A lot of people will do that with a good change or a bad one. What they need to find out is if it will make their site into something bigger in the long run, the way the mini feed and such did. I don't really see how you can test that, because you're looking for something that is at best hard to quantify and at worst impossible.
