“But I am never going to optimize short-term revenue at the expense of user experience or long-term goals. If people think we are going about this too...”
And this made me think. People ask me who inspires me. This question often stumps me because I have been inspired in my work by stuff that people make.
I fell in love with zines and independent radio when I was an isolated teenager living in the suburbs.
Then BBSs, people’s personal web sites, Usenet, Entropy8, online zines (holy crap, the old Bitch magazine site is now a porn portal! And Maxi is squatted!), blogs, Excel, online communities, Amazon, Salon, eBay, O’Reilly books, Google, Friendster, Alamut, NQPAOFU, Metafilter, board games, Blogger, paper games, 1000 blank cards, The Mirror Project, 1000 journals, Moveable Type, 20 things, Google Maps, Flickr, Gmail, last.fm, iPhone, NaNoWriMo, McSweeney’s, Kingdom of Loathing, muxtape, vimeo, Etsy, iPad, Kickstarter …the people who make these things are my leaders.
Most of the time I don’t know their names. Sometimes I’m lucky and do.
