  • @ketanpkr @shanselman I've quoted you in my story "Gmail's redesign: Why advertisers will benefit more than the user" http://t.co/XVbi4U6A #
  • i suspect time spent in gmail was a factor in this redesign. which may please advertisers, but is punishing the user who needs 2 get in/out! #
  • and yes, i did send feedback to gmail re: the redesign. if i can't keep the old version longterm i'm going to migrate to a new email system. #
  • UI/UX strat is about human needs, not showing off the latest tricks in ur hat. the gmail redesign clearly wasn't intended for human use. #
  • i shdnt have 2 wave my mouse all over t screen like a wand 2 unhide gmail features i depend on. this wasn't a redesign. it was Schadenfreude #
  • How do I find my starred items now, gmail? I don't want my email sessions to be treasure hunts #timewaster #fail #
  • Why are labels suddenly gone from the left rail on gmail & not easily added back? I relied on those to stay organized/do my job. #
  • New gmail redesign feels like it was architected by a sadist. Vanishing buttons. Pointless transparent overlays. Email shdnt B n S&M session #
  • One might say, "Gmail is free, why complain?" We give our data to them=they make billions. Least they can do=not give me instant eye fatigue #
  • so, gmail redesign. i haven't hated something on the Internet so much in a very long time. #
  • lmao! xo RT @corvida @dcap … which is exactly why I don't have a car. Hit that subway window. #

  • .@corvida ok, but you have to promote that it's there (beyond your reply). blog post. then wait two weeks and track yr subscriber count. in reply to corvida #
  • .@corvida my last point is that throwing around words like "useless" in any context about subscribe plugin at this state is premature. my 2c #
  • again, maybe for you, but others reaping rewards RT @corvida @dcap Benefits on media level are obvious, but on a personal level it's useless #
  • Hey! That hair looks familiar: On the Street…..The Cut, Istanbul http://t.co/DdvR7Gdg #
  • psa: just because something doesn't work for your biz/creative goals doesn't mean it's not useful or a $ generating tool for others. #
  • .@corvida many media entities have specific uniques they need to meet in order to stay in business. trust they will be utilizing subscribe #
  • @corvida it's fine if you don't want 2 use subscribe. but behaving as if it won't be a boon 4 others to meet biz goals is still shortsighted in reply to corvida #
  • .@corvida if ppl are plugged into your FB updates to shegeeks content via subscribe, you'll cont to succeed at that. they're already on FB. in reply to corvida #
  • .@corvida if u want 2 meet ppl where they r at, instead of confining them 2ur rss feed as metrics tool(?), you'll consider subscribe button #
  • @corvida you may prefer it, but be realistic about how many ppl actually use RSS. i don't access your feed. i get your links from FB. in reply to corvida #
  • Your prerogative! But I bet you will eventually. Unless you don't like web traffic #s to jump. RT @corvida @dcap No thank you. #
  • @corvida subscribe button on shegeeks catch — make sure you message it's there on twitter. then see how fast your #s jump. #
