Apple III: one-click to buy = good; 20
clicks and 2 phone calls to return = bad 01/07/2004 02:42 PM
But alas, the story is not a completely happy one. For in addition to the iMac, I needed a router. At first bought a Belkin router from the Apple site. (By now, I had changed the one-click preferences to ship to my parents, so I was able to buy the Belkin router with one click.) But then seeing that I could get a Belkin wireless router elsewhere (of course, not on the site selling Airports), I tried to cancel the order from Apple. Yet when I went to return the Belkin router, life was not so simple. There was no link in the confirming email, and it took a good routing around on the Apple site till I found a web form to request the canceling of an order (it was too late to call, I discovered after calling). So literally 20 minutes after I placed the order, on Christmas Day, I sent a request to cancel it. Today, five days later, I received an email informing me that it was too late to cancel the order -- which I had discovered, since my Dad called to say the router had arrived. Twenty minutes on hold later, I received a RMA to return the router -- of course, we pay shipping. I wonder just what the thinking of the Apple Exec who set up this one-click-to-buy, a million-clicks-to-fail-to-cancel system was: "We'll make it really hard for them to cancel an order, and maybe they'll get so frustrated, they just won't cancel it!" Yes, that is brilliant. Oh well, here's to the Crazy Ones.

We're now pretty far along into the web-based world, and you would think that most people would recognize what a "link" is. However, it appears that a debate is still raging on as to whether or not web-based writing should include the specific call to "click here" when linking to some other webpage. While it's been a common practice in web advertising, trying to entice people to click on an ad, it probably doesn't make very much sense any more in standard web writing. People know what a link is. They know that they can click on it if they want to. Maybe some people just like ordering others around -- even online.

Offshoring... To Click On Ads

Offshoring... To Click On Ads 05/03/2004 04:44 PM
For all the talk of offshoring labor, it seems that many in India have answered "earn rupees clicking ads" advertisements found (ironically enough) on Google, which basically pay people to sit at home and clic k on advertisements on specific websites to help those sites earn more pay-per-click ad dollars. This, of course, is always the risk with any sort of pay-per-click advertising scheme. Those who stand to make money are always going to look for ways to increase the clicks. While it's easy to pick out automated clickers, having a network of people around the world who are paid to click the ads could be a lot trickier. Of course, this may remind some people of dot-com bubble companies like AllAdvantage - but at least in that (failed) case, advertisers knew what they were getting involved with. If such fraudulent clicks continue on content sites for advertising networks, it could noticeably decrease the value of such ads.

Click with Your Legislators!

Click with Your Legislators! 05/20/2004 05:22 PM

Barb Brattin, Reference Manager at the Warren Newport Public Library, came up with a great way to promote our statewide reference portal, Illinois Clicks!

"One of our top service responses at Warren Newport Public Library is information literacy, so offering a program on Illinois Clicks was a natural fit. As I was surfing through the site gathering examples of great links in every category, I thought of a little exercise to get some attention for Illinois Clicks via the program participants.

After a general overview of what Illinois Clicks is and how to navigate through the site, we visited two pre-selected links in each category. The last category we visited was Law and Government. By this time, the crowd was mesmerized by the amount and quality of information available through Illinois Clicks. So, opportunist that I am, I made good use of their enthusiasm by presenting each of them with an Illinois Clicks postcard (available through Fran, in case you haven't seen them). We then visited the Legislator Lookup link within the Law and Government site, and as they looked up their legislator's name and address, I asked them to use the postcard to tell their legislators what a fine project they have in Illinois Clicks and how they ought to continue funding the project. They were delighted to fill out the postcards and their messages were inspiring. I collected the postcards and sent them out this morning.

One of the participants then presented an idea which I think is particularly noteworthy. Why not place a link from every library's home page with messages of support for libraries already written out (like the Illinois Clicks postcard). Library supporters could simply send those messages on to their legislators electronically. People are very happy to express their support for the work we do to legislators. The link would make it easy.

Food for thought."

Food for thought for your own library, too!

Mail and click-through

Mail and click-through 06/05/2005 11:39 PM
Apple Mail. There’s more.

The new toolbar does the icons-inside-buttons thing, which makes sense, and may be a usability gain.

However, here’s a weird thing I noticed:

When Mail is not the frontmost app, the buttons change their look: they look dimmed, disabled.



However, if you click, it’s actually enabled, it supports click-through. (This is true for non-destructive buttons, not all of the buttons.) Right before you click you see the mouse-over highlighting.



It turns out that the icon inside the button is used to indicate whether it’s enabled or not. Standard toolbars dim and un-dim the icon too—it’s just that they don’t also have a button being used to indicate status (sorta).

So the dimmed button look means “I’m in the background” rather than “I’m disabled.”

Safari’s icons are similar in that the icon rather than the button indicates status—but they don’t have a special dimmed in-the-background look, which I think confuses things in Mail.

Well, actually, just to donate money to the Presidential candidate of your choice (assuming that candidate has given Amazon permission). Each candidate has his or her own "product page" - which includes information about them and their platform. Perhaps not as advanced as PayDemocracy.com, but likely to get a lot more publicity. Now, imagine if you could use Amazon's affiliate program links for your favorite candidate?

Microsoft's Double-Click Patent

Microsoft's Double-Click Patent 06/05/2004 06:13 PM

This is an edited version of my comment to Joi's post on Microsoft's so called double-click patent.

The patent is not really about double-click but about a way to use a limited input device (i.e. a cheap button on a mobile phone) to trigger more than one function, morse code sent from user to the mobile OS if you will. It adds functionality without increasing cost nor adding clutter. What it does is map functions to like this:

Down-Up -> F1
Down-1/2sec-Up -> F2
Down-1sec-Up -> F3
Down-Up-Down-Up -> F4

and so on.

IMHO, this is not a trivial patent but a rather innovative new use of existing technology to overcome limitations of mobile devices.  Is it a general innovation?  No.  But it is innovative if you consider the context of its application and you would not think it is an obvious solution if you were the one assigned to solve this problem.

Frankly, I prefer my Next-App (aka Appy) button idea better since user doesn't have to remember the correct pattern. Instead, the user just flips apps as if flipping pages until they get to the one they want to use. In the end, users remember 'where' the app is (i.e. 3rd app) and click the button that many times as they move the device up for use.

A default function for an application is launched if the button is pressed for a short, i.e., normal, period of time.

Ingram, Amazon Lose Patent Battle On
On-Demand Printing

Ingram, Amazon Lose Patent Battle On
On-Demand Printing 03/06/2004 02:05 AM
These days, there are a ton of on-demand printing operations out there that will let people create a book on the fly. In some areas, they're just catching on, sometimes for vanity publishing and sometimes for better inventory control. However, it turns out that someone has a patent on the idea of on-demand printing - and a jury has ruled that Amazon and Ingram are both violating that patent. Both defendants say they believe the patent is not valid and will appeal. Unfortunately, the actual patent is not clearly explained in the article. They do say that the inventor met with Ingram prior to them starting up their own on-demand printing service - so he might have some claim. The real question is what the patent really covers - and if it's simply for the idea of on-demand printing, if that's really patentable.

The latest in the Eolas patent saga is that someone at the Patent Office has finally agreed to review the patent based on stacks and stacks of prior art that people have been finding. Amazingly, the Patent Office appears to have responded quickly (though, they don't say how long it will take for a new decision on the patent) to the requests for a re-examination of the patent. There's a quote from the USPTO's deputy commissioner for patent examination policy saying that this was an "extraordinary situation" which necessitated the quick response. The problem with this statement is that it's not an extraordinary situation. In fact, it's an increasingly common situation, where silly patents are getting the stamp of approval every day - and then used to hold other companies up for extortion, rather than for encouraging innovation.

I think it's about time we came up with a new topic/icon for stupid patents. There are just so many of them these days. The latest is that Adobe, who is no stranger to abusing intellectual property rules, is now being hit with a patent over their PDF technology. The patent is for a method of extracting network information via hyperlinks. Reading through the patent, they're basically describing a system for clicking on a hyperlinking and having the system not only download the page in question, but all locally related pages linked from that page as well. Perhaps a useful system, but it seems like this sort of technology was around well before the patent was granted, and it's unclear what it has to do with PDF files.
