Last time I looked at one aspect of what Google did right with their very intuitive and fun to use Reader.
This time, I’d like to focus on the group management and collaboration software: Basecamp.
Designed and built by 37signals. They really hit the nail on the head with a easy to use and intuitive product. Today I’ll be looking at a specific aspect that really made me go ‘wow, that’s so simple - why doesn’t everyone do that?’
Amazon has an invite-only grocery-delivering service testing right now in Seattle. Remember those startups back in the 90’s where you could order groceries online? Looks like Amazon’s doing it. Only this time I’d like to think they’re going to do it right. Amazon’s got some pretty big capital to throw around, hopefully by starting in one location they can focus their energies into getting it right before expanding.
Here’s to hoping we’ll all be able to order our groceries online and have them delivered right to our doorstep. [via TechCrunch]
Recently a new web 2.0 service, InviteShare, launched which allows people to not only share invites to private betas, but it awards points for doing so. It’s a great idea that encourages invite sharing.
Unfortunately the bittersweet problem is that there were just too many users. The site would frequently be down and using the site on a regular basis was trying beyond belief. But as I said, bittersweet - this was a good thing, as the more people that are active, the more invites there are to go around.
Mike Arrington over at TechCrunch just announced they’ve purchased InviteShare. This is great news and just makes total sense. TechCrunch gives pretty solid reviews of the up-and-coming web 2.0 services and apps that are sprouting up left and right. Couple that with people being able to now easily acquire private beta invites and you’ve got a match made in heaven. Add in TechCrunch’s already overwhelming popularity and ability to handle large amounts of traffic and you’ll see why I’m pumped about this. Once they stabilize the service it’ll be much easier to use and navigate the site.
