Tumblr endless scrolling is productivity killer

devers:

Usually, when I am getting the feeling I procrastinated enough, I count down the number of ‘next pages’, like: ‘just one more’.

Now I can just keep on scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling.

Thank you Tumblr, goodbye productivity…

You obviously do not use tumblr enough; I just scroll until I see something that i’ve seen before :-/

AOL Reveals Lame New Look & Logo 
by Wolff Olins, who apparently cannot get anyone (but their clients) to like their work. I must say I am consistently amazed, sometimes as in weird, but I admit sometimes as in impressed, with what they come up with. And I am kind of enjoying the show.

“Frame for frame, ‘Tag’ is probably the most exciting ad ever made. It had the drama of the chase scene in The French Connection. It won the admiration of the industry and a Cannes Lion Grand Prix.” An excerpt from anthropologist-economist Grant McCracken’s new book, Chief Culture Officer, is about ad exec Dan Wieden, who coined the slogan “Just Do It” for Nike in 1998, and directed the “Tag” commercial three years later.

As a side experiment, my colleagues asked several experts in the company for their expert opinion as to what problems users would run into, and compiled them into a list. (These experts included the software designers, domain experts, and the people who trained users on the software.) Then my colleagues ran their study, observing sixteen people using this software for the first time, and made a list of the problems that users actually ran into. The result?
 
There was not one common item on the two lists.
