But as Joshua Schachter explained to me a few years ago now, reduction of services to the simplest user experiences is a powerful generator of focused activity. And that’s what is going on at Facebook and across the social networking sector right now. Status is universal. Not everyone takes photos or videos, or plays games. But everyone has a status and it changes. It’s also quick and easy to post a status message. And it’s massively conversational (something we didn’t quite realize until Twitter users invented the @reply).
Hasn’t It Always Been About Status?
I love when I am back tracking through delicious links and find a quote that burns to the point of what I am thinking or working on.
