4Aug Right, what’s this Twitter nonsense

I’ve decided it’s time to experiment a little with a few more of those social networky things. Let’s call it ‘industry research’ (I’m not just trying to avoid working on this Sign up process).

So…..Twitter? I don’t quite get it yet – it seems to pop up everywhere in different guises. Time to head to the Twitter FAQ….well, that’s answered some questions.

Next step is to try and actually utilise it. Let’s see how I get on.

1Aug Newsletter Sign up forms

Well, the next exciting thing I’m doing is revising a sign up process. What I really need to do is look at this book: Web Form Design: Filling in the Blanks by Luke Wroblewski . Actually I’m pretty sure there is copy around here somewhere.

Again it’s all about user interaction, creating a simple effective form that is easy to use. You want the user to not even have to think about what they have to do, but just do it. I’ll let you know how I get on.
