Look, my view is this: it's not about maintaining N different interfaces.
Each news feed is totally personalized. This is done without having to worry about maintaining "N" feeds, it's built into the system, built into the approach.
Why is the design something that needs to be fragmented into buckets? This is a broader choice, accepting that all users need to be on some defined path.
You can measure and improve metrics without being concerned about the particular CSS file being delivered to each person.
- croggle 13y agoWhat on earth are you talking about? The old design did not work across a set of devices. The new design works across a greater number of these device. Please suggest an alternative. note: device could mean anything from phone to small netbook.

- kayoone 13y agoBecause maintaining N different user interfaces is hard. No matter if the underlying approach or data is the same, the user interface is different and from that point on you have to take them all into account when you make a change.

- KhalPanda 13y agoAnd they're still doing a perfectly good job of it.
- untog 13y agoPresumably at a large expense.
- KhalPanda 13y agoBut apparently this is all "for the people". :-)
- biesnecker 13y agoRidiculously large expense. And not always all that well -- it's just that most people don't use most of the platform simultaneously on different devices / stacks / versions, so they don't notice.
