My Latest Article
Software in the 1980s, when usability was "invented," was all about
computer-human interaction. A lot of software still is. But the
Internet brings us a new kind of software: software that's about
human-human interaction. When you're writing software that mediates
between people, after you get the usability right, you have to get the
social interface right. And the social interface is more
important. The best UI in the world won't save software with an
awkward social interface. It
's Not Just Usability
Workspace Quality
Someone posted a
nice summary of links to information about the quality of
workspace provided to software developers. “Perhaps it can
be useful to other software developers in a position to influence
managers or may someday be in a position to make decisions about
workspace design themselves.”

I'm happy to announce that my friend, teacher, and competitor Eric
Sink has agreed to host the new Business of Software
forum.
Eric has been in the software industry from time immemorial. He built one
of the first web browsers,
Spyglass and founded the AbiWord project to make an open
source word processor. His latest company is SourceGear, a highly successful
Inc
500 software company in Champaign, Illinois which makes great
source control management software. He writes a column on the business
of software for MSDN and has
his own weblog where he
has been extremely generous with his knowledge of software business. I
couldn't have a better host.

We've been quietly making some improvements to the beta discussion
group software.
Today we rolled out Brett's new full-text search feature. It relies
on the database engine to provide full-text search, and we're running
Microsoft SQL Server, which has rather poor full-text search
capabilities: for example, it requires a manual process to rebuild the
index, which we schedule for every 15 minutes, so it won't find
anything posted in the last few minutes.
I also added an RSS feed. Originally I wanted to provide full text
of all topics and replies in the last three days so that you could use
an RSS reader to read the discussion group. Unfortunately that would
have resulted in a huge download, and since RSS readers bang
on the site every hour or three, our bandwidth usage would have been
absurd. So I had to settle for full text of the original topic but not
of replies.
And finally we got Summer Intern Ben's excellent Bayesian filtering code
working... due to a couple of configuration problems it wasn't running
right. The idea is to delete comme
nt spam before anyone sees it. It's hard to tell if the filter
works yet because it needs more training, but so far it's doing pretty
well. If you think comment spam is not a big problem, you haven't
moderated a discussion group lately... this is the number one priority
for spammers these days, since email filters are starting to work
pretty well and spamming a lot of discussion groups is perceived as a
good way to trick Google into giving a site prominent placement.
We admit to three strategies to prevent comment spam:
- Bayesian filtering which can be trained to remove comment spam
instantly
- Not allowing new comments on old posts, so that comment spam can't
be hidden in posts which nobody but Google visits any more
- Using a META tag to ask search engines not to follow URLs from
discussion topics. Although this technique prevents comment spam from
working it doesn't prevent it from happening because
spammers don't seem to particularly care if a given spam works or
not.
By "we admit to" I imply that there are other things we do which we
don't talk about too much because revealing them would make it that
much easier for spammers to work around them, thus reducing the cost
of spamming, thus making it more economically feasible.
One side affect of the Bayesian filter is that if it finds a
suspicious topic, rather than letting it through, it will flag it for
a human moderator. The moderator can then allow it to be posted (which
trains the filter) or leave it unshown. The effect of this is that
rarely, new posts won't appear until a human approves them. This
should happen less and less as the filter learns more.

Try out the new
discussion group, now in beta!
A few brief comments:
- Yes, there are bugs! Many bugs! Please report them using the link
provided.
- It looks kind of plain right now, I know. And I haven't
implemented a search feature yet, which is planned.
- It works a lot like the old discussion group.
- There's a new archive section ("Older Topics").
- You can provide a URL with your name when you post. I'm hoping
that people who have their own web sites will do so, and that this
will make posters a little less anonymous. (Note that these URLs will
not be followed by search engines like Google, so they cannot be
abused to "steal" PageRank.)
Most of the changes are really on the back end, in the
adminitrator's interface and in the abuse- and spam-prevention
features. I'm hoping that if all works well, you'll see a lot less
spam. And it's now much easier for me to make a new discussion group,
something which used to take an hour of work, so I may set up several
new groups in the future (if you have a good idea for a topic please
post it.)
