It's frustrating to see feature announcements for features that aren't live yet - especially when they aren't framed as a "coming soon" feature.
If you're doing a slow roll-out, or announcing an upcoming feature, be explicit about that. Without setting expectations, you've completely lost the point of announcing. I won't just remember to check back later, and I won't share the news with anyone else since there's nothing to see.

- hamburglar 12y agoAgreed. Google does this to me regularly. "Hooray, you can X" and then I spend a while poking around, trying to do X, before eventually realizing they've probably punked me again and giving up. I don't understand why they do it. Instead of being amused by their new feature, I'm annoyed that they've wasted my time again.
- allworknoplay 12y agoSo absurd, especially when they link you to specific things they claim you should be able to see.
