Group As User: Flaming and the Design of
Social Software
Group As User: Flaming and the Design of
Social Software
12/19/2004 03:53 PM
When we hear the word "software," most of us think of things like
Word, Powerpoint, or Photoshop, tools for individual users. These
tools treat the computer as a box, a self-contained environment in
which the user does things. Much of the current literature and
practice of software design -- feature requirements, UI design,
usability testing -- targets the individual user, functioning in
isolation.
And yet, when we poll users about what they actually do with their
computers, some form of social interaction always tops the list --
conversation, collaboration, playing games, and so on. The practice of
software design is shot through with computer-as-box assumptions,
while our actual behavior is closer to computer-as-door, treating the
device as an entrance to a social space.
We have grown quite adept at designing interfaces and interactions
between computers and machines, but our social tools -- the software
the users actually use most often -- remain badly misfit to their
task. Social interactions are far more complex and unpredictable than
human/computer interaction, and that unpredictability defeats classic
user-centric design. As a result, tools used daily by tens of millions
are either ignored as design challenges, or treated as if the only
possible site of improvement is the user-to-tool interface.
The design gap between computer-as-box and computer-as-door persists
because of a diminished conception of the user. The user of a piece of
social software is not just a collection of individuals, but a
group. Individual users take on roles that only make sense in groups:
leader, follower, peacemaker, process nazi, and so on. There are also
behaviors that can only occur in groups, from consensus building to
social climbing. And yet, despite these obvious differences between
personal and social behaviors, we have very little design practice
that treats the group as an entity to be designed for.
There is enormous value to be gotten in closing that gap, and it
doesn't require complicated new tools. It just requires new ways of
looking at old problems. Indeed, much of the most important work in
social software has been technically simple but socially complex.

Gates: Microsoft Will Build
Interoperable Software By Design
Gates: Microsoft Will Build
Interoperable Software By Design
02/05/2005 09:46 PMIn an email to business chiefs made public today, Bill Gates, Chairman
of Microsoft, discussed the companies plans to make their software
more interoperable with other systems.
"
Interoperability is more pragmatic than other
approaches, such as attempting to make all systems compatible at
the code level, focusing solely on adding new layers of middleware
that try to make all systems look and act the same, or seeking to make
different systems interchangeable. With a common understanding of
basic protocols, different software can interact smoothly with little
or no specific knowledge of each other. The Internet is perhaps the
most obvious example of this kind of interoperability, where any piece
of software can connect and exchange data as long as it adheres to the
key protocols.
Simply put, interoperability is a proven approach for dealing with the
diversity and heterogeneity of the marketplace. Today I want to focus
on two major thrusts of Microsoft’s product interoperability strategy:
First, we continue to support customers’ needs for software that works
well with what they have today. Second, we are working with the
industry to define a new generation of software and Web services based
on eXtensible Markup Language (XML), which enables software to
efficiently share information and opens the door to a greater degree
of "interoperability by design" across many different kinds
of software.
Our goal is to harness all the power inherent in modern (and not so
modern) business software, and enable them to work together so that
the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. We want to further
eliminate friction among heterogeneous architectures and applications
without compromising their distinctive underlying
capabilities."
Gates continued to talk about how Microsoft planned to implement these
ideas, and how it already had; Gates pointed to Office 2003 as an
example of the company making use of XML technology. He also made the
point that "
interoperability is also confused with open source
software". Microsoft face tough competition from Linux based
products which are open source and allow users to modify the
underlying system code. Part of the recent European Union judgement on
Microsoft involved making the company make it easier for other
software vendors to inter opt with their products. Previous messages
from Gates delivered in a similar manner have proved to be major
policy changes for Microsoft.

SpyView: Freeway Pro 3.5
SpyView: Freeway Pro 3.5
12/30/2004 12:04 PMSoftPress Systems' flagship application, Freeway Pro, is an HTML
generator that offers the user the ability to create functional,
professional websites without needing to hand-code their websites.
Freeway Pro is not an HTML editor; it simply generates the HTML so the
user doesn't have to work with the code. This is one reason why
Freeway Pro differs from other popular professional website creation
applications like Adobe's GoLive and Macromedia's DreamWeaver.
Experience with these two applications shows just how much Freeway Pro
differs in use. The application is very similar to a desktop
publishing application, and allows creative individuals who are
lacking the technical skills to create inventive web pages without
knowing HTML or JavaScript.
Included with Freeway Pro is a 40 colour page Quick Start guide as
well as an extensive 393 page User Guide that includes an easy to find
index and an excellent contents page. The comprehensive user guide
contains many pictures and easy-to-understand, step-by-step
instructions for use.
Freeway Pro runs on both Mac OS X and Mac OS 9. One disadvantage to
this application is that there is no "Open Recent" option in the File
menu, so users are expected to find the file they are working on each
time they open the program.
Other Freeway Pro features include WYSIWYG (what you see is what you
get) editing, support for advanced font features offered by Apple's
ATSUI technology, automatic graphic conversion into Web formats,
automatic image slicing, and the choice between HTML 3.2, 3.2 plus
Cascading Style Sheets or HTML 4 output.
Freeway Pro is available from SoftPress for $249.00 or for $189.00 for
qualifying educators or students.
Pros:
WYSIWYG creation
Easy browser previewing
Works with both Mac OS 9 and OS X
Cons:
No HTML editing
No "Open Recent" in File menu
System Requirements: Mac OS X (G3, 128 MB RAM) or Mac OS 9 (64 MB RAM)

SpyView: Freeway Express 3.5
SpyView: Freeway Express 3.5
01/06/2005 03:00 PMSoftPress Systems' consumer web site creation application provides an
easy way for beginners or students to create web pages without the
knowledge of HTML.
A speedier version of the company's flagship application Freeway Pro,
Freeway Express comes at a more affordable price but still offers the
"speed, power and design flexibility of Freeway Pro." Freeway Express
handles like a desktop publishing application by allowing the user to
drag and drop images and text right onto the page. The program allows
creative individuals who are lacking the technical skills to create
inventive web pages without learning or knowing HTML.
Included with Freeway Express is a Buttons FAST Pack, 29 templates,
PDF tutorials and User Guide, a 40-page printed colour Quick Start
Guide, as well as 15-day trial versions of Graphics FAST Pack and
Navigation FAST Pack. The comprehensive user guide contains many
pictures and easy-to-understand, step-by-step instructions for use.
Other Freeway Pro features include WYSIWYG (what you see is what you
get) editing, the choice between HTML 3.2, 3.2 plus Cascading Style
Sheets or HTML 4 output, importing of TIFF, native Photoshop and
Illustrator files and PDF graphics (on Mac OS X), PostScript Type 1
and OpenType fonts in addition to TrueType, custom Actions (and write
your own) to automate your designs and extend Freeway, and built-in
spell checking and hyphenation in 14 different languages.
As with Freeway Pro, one disadvantage to this application is that
there is no "Open Recent" option in the File menu. Without the "Open
Recent" option, users are expected to search for the file they were
working on each time they open the program rather than selecting
recent Freeway Express files from a drop-down list.
Freeway Express works with Mac OS 9 and OS X and is available from
SoftPress for $89.00.
Pros:
WYSIWYG creation
Easy browser previewing
Works with both Mac OS 9 and OS X
Cons:
No HTML editing
No "Open Recent" in File menu
System Requirements: Mac OS X (G3, 128 MB RAM) or Mac OS 9 (64 MB RAM)

SpyView: Photoshop Classic Effects: The
Essential Effects Every User Needs to
Know
12/22/2004 01:26 AMAuthor Scott Kelby has written an easy-to-read book that any serious
Adobe Photoshop user is sure to want on their desk for easy access to
the more than 100 “classic” Photoshop projects.
Step-by-step, Kelby walks the reader through techniques that result in
the stunning, professional effects that you see everyday in magazines,
on billboards, in newspapers and on the Internet. Examples of the
projects include using one photo as the background and focal point;
creating chrome bevelled type; tinting black and white photos and
creating reflections and various shadowing techniques. Kelby states
simply that “these are the effects your clients expect you to know if
you are a professional Photoshop user”.
Kelby, editor of Photoshop User magazine and author of several
bestselling Photoshop books, has cut the learning time dramatically
for newer users of the program. Photoshop Classic Effects doesn’t
require you to work through one tutorial after another, but enables
you to easily find the project you’re interested in using, which is
why you’ll want to keep it handy for future reference. Kelby has used
language throughout the book that is easy to understand and provides
the user commands for both Mac and Windows platforms.
The book is beautifully illustrated with full color photographs by
Brand X Pictures. If you want to follow along using the same photos
Kelby used in his projects, the low-res images are available for
download at http://www.scottkelbybooks.com/classicphotos.
If you’re interested in this book, but still undecided whether to make
the purchase, you might want to try a few of Kelby’s samples for
yourself. Publisher Peach Pit Press has included some of the author’s
step-by-step projects on a tip sheet which is available for download

SpyView: iTilt
SpyView: iTilt
01/04/2005 12:56 PMThe iTilt is a cushioning stand designed for PowerBooks and iBooks
from MaxUpgrades that combines ergonomic design and functionality.
Made of a special black rubber compound, the iTilt is solidly
constructed to cushion the notebook from vibration and shock while
providing an optimum viewing height for the user. The user can
maintain their natural upright posture while using the notebook
without the need for an auxiliary keybord.
Designed for the desktop, the iTilt has a front curve design that runs
across the width of the notebook. This allows the notebook to be
seated and gripped for maximum stability. A center groove allows for
the dissipation of heat generated from the notebook and provides space
to run cables, giving the user access to the side ports on the
computer.
The iTilt back contours uniformly and transfers the weight of the
notebook to the bottom rests for a firm grip with the desktop surface.
The notebook can be opened for maximum viewing and makes it easy to
use the iTilt with a graphics tablet and 3D digitizers.
Spymac tested the iTilt cushioning stand for the 17-inch PowerBook.
While it lacks slightly in esthetics, it has become one of the
tester’s favorite notebook stands because of its ergonomics and
durability. Despite its relatively high retail price ($49.00 US), the
iTilt is an excellent product.
Pros:
Provides perfect ergonomic desktop positioning of notebook computer
Durable
Gentle on wrists
Cons:
Bulky
Esthetics
Price

SpyView: BBEdit 8.0.3
SpyView: BBEdit 8.0.3
12/24/2004 12:09 PMIt has fallen upon me to write a review for Bare Bones' latest release
of BBEdit. As you read this I hope you will keep in mind that that I
am a programmer by trade and not a columnist. So forgive me if this
review doesn't have the same flair as something our beloved Spymac
news writers might produce.
That being said, BBEdit has been the undisputed champion in the field
of Macintosh text editors for the past 10 years. Its abundant feature
set can keep anyone from a student working on an English assignment to
a programmer developing the next great app busy and productive.
The search and replace functions in BBEdit are legendary, allowing the
writer to search and replace text within any number of documents with
a few simple clicks. Now in BBEdit 8 those features have become much
more powerful. With BBEdit's new Text Factory you can create search
and replace rules as easily as creating a smart playlist in iTunes.
With a few short clicks you can have BBEdit scouring your project
folder for all the changes you want to make in seconds. Got thousands
of files you need to check and don't have the time to wait for it to
finish? No problem, set Text Factory aside and let it search in the
background while you continue working in BBEdit.
BBEdit's new Document Drawer makes navigating through your documents
easy. Switching documents is now as easy as clicking the file name in
the Drawer. Moving files between windows is just easy. Simply drag and
drop the file name from one window's drawer to the other and you're
good to go. One of the features I really like is the ability to
option-drag a file name from the drawer to my Desktop or some other
folder for an instant copy.
Without question the feature I value most is BBEdit's Live preview of
HTML documents. Using Apple's Web Kit Framework, BBEdit will display a
live preview of your page as you modify your code. Not impressed? With
a couple of quick adjustments to your preferences BBEdit will even
display a live preview of your PHP code as well. No more
command-tabbing between Safari and back. This feature alone is bound
to increase productivity for a good number of people.
New features aside there are some negative aspects I feel I should
point out. First and foremost are the preferences. Now I realize there
is a lot that can be customized in there but it is just too easy to
get lost amongst all the options. It would be nice to see this get
simplified in the next release.
I would also like to see a little more integration between the
Documents Drawer and the Disk and FTP Browsers. Having all of your
open documents in the drawer is a powerful addition. I can't help but
think how much more potent it could be if a disk or FTP browser were
be nested inside of it. Instant access to all of your files within a
single all-knowing window. One can only hope.
Pros:
Rock solid, battle-hardened text editor
Powerful search and replace that anyone can master
Document Drawer for instant access to all of your open documents
Live preview of PHP documents
Cons:
Confusing preference panel
Document Drawer could be more useful
System Requirements: Mac OS X 10.3.5 or later

SpyView: Microsoft's Optical Mouse by
S+arck
SpyView: Microsoft's Optical Mouse by
S+arck
09/15/2004 01:54 PM"Wow, it's cool," were the first words of Spymac co-founder
Kevin April (AtariST) after plugging in <a
href="http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/productd
etails.aspx?pid=027" target="_blank">Microsoft's
Optical Mouse by S+arck</a>. But are good looks all this rodent
has going for it?
Microsoft <a
href="http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2004/jul04/07-08St
arckOMPR.asp" target="_blank">introduced</a>
the new mouse by interior and industrial designer, Phillipe Starck,
along with a line of special edition mice back in July.
<center><img
src="http://www.spymac.com/upload/newscat/pic_47.jpg"><
;/center>
"People are doing such amazing things with their computers;
however, too often the importance of the link between man and machine
is underestimated," Starck <a
href="http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2004/jul04/07-08St
arckOMPR.asp" target="_blank">said</a>.
"[The mouse we use] defines us just as much as the clothes we
wear or the music we listen to. With this in mind, I set out to design
an artistic bridge that would help people connect with the technology
they use every day. The result is modern and refreshingly simple, and
will transform the mouse into a badge item that makes a statement
about your taste and personality."
If this mouse makes a statement about the users personality, then it
would show that the user is simple, sleek and glowing from the inside.
The mouse has a similar design as Apple's Pro Mouse, but the S+arck
mouse has a scroll wheel and two buttons that run the entire length of
the mouse.
As for design, the S+arck's silvery-grey colouring does not compliment
Apple's consumer line (eMacs, iMacs and iBooks), though it would look
quite flashy when hooked up to a PowerBook, PowerMac G5, or when used
with a new Apple display. "The First Museum-Quality Mouse"
features a blue (or orange) stripe down the middle separating the two
buttons. When plugged in, light shines up through the stripe and the
scroll wheel to create an ultra-modern blue or orange lighting effect.
Compared to older Microsoft mice, this USB-only mouse tracks much
smoother, thanks to recent improvements in Microsoft's optical
technology. The mouse scrolls nicely; better than the
first-generation 5 button <a
href="http://www.microsoft.com/products/info/product.aspx?view=22
&pcid=f918997d-8a10-49a2-86d4-350fc658f447&type=ovr"
target="_blank">IntelliMouse Explorer</a> that I
use at home, and better than the two button <a
href="http://www.microsoft.com/products/info/product.aspx?view=22
&pcid=683c57a7-1f50-442c-ad1d-c262417da635&type=ovr"
target="_blank">Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical
1.1</a> that I normally use here at work. The mouse doesn't fit
as nicely in my hand because of the odd shape, though Microsoft
describes the design as a "<a
href="http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/productd
etails.aspx?pid=027" target="_blank">unique
hemisphere (suitable for both left and right-hand users) that makes
[the mouse] feel natural and puts left and right clicking in the palm
of your hand.</a>" After using it for one day, the right
button began to squeak; not something I would expect from
<i>this</i> type of mouse. (No pun intended.)
The S+arck optical mouse sells for $34.95. If looks are important to
you and if you want a two button optical mouse that compliments the
PowerBook, PowerMac or Apple Cinema display, then this is the mouse to
buy. Otherwise, any other two button scroll wheel mouse would do, and
they would cost less than half of the price.
