Comment on Visit my church’s new online campus by Joseph

This is awesome, I’ve never seen a Church with an online campus before… this is such a great idea because I know there are a lot of people like me who can sometimes sleep through Church or not be able to make it for one reason or another. Or sometimes I want a sermon on a random day of the week. Thanks for this I hope more churches follow suit

Comment on Which browser would you kill? by Jason Skinner

I agree with you on IE7. It was built and released rapidly causing all sorts of problems. I see IE9, as a developer, as more of a problem at the moment. Granted, it is a webkit browser (finally Microsoft!), but it can only be installed on a Windows 7 machine and still is behind the times as browsers are concerned. That is just another virtual machine in my library and XP is still selling so I don’t see IE7 or IE8 going anywhere in the near future. Thus, I am left checking four Microsoft browsers on separate VMs on TWO different operating systems.

And yes, please upgrade your browsers whenever possible!

Comment on Predictions for 2011 and beyond by Drew

..reminds me of two interesting things I’ve read lately.

Several bullets in this Public Relations “predictions” list were spot on: http://mashable.com/2010/12/23/predictions-pr-industry/

The “Radical Pessimist’s Guide to the Next 10 Years” was a more entertaining read, though.

Comment on Which browser do you use? by Keith

Keith — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 18:18:11 +0000

I’m a firefox devotee and I think we all pretty much ignore Opera. As a blogger I often forget to test in IE till the end of a redesign and then horrified to see the result.

I’m a fan of banner ads that say dump IE6

Comment on How usable is your electronic ballot? by Keith

Interesting question. I voted with an electronic ballot and although I didn’t have any problems understanding the ballot I also wouldn’t call it user friendly.

I’m not a UX expert but I’d definitely focus on uncluttering the interface and creating a better flow.

I’d be very interested to know if there was usability testing.

Comment on Social media’s use in Senate elections by Jason Tolbert

Jason Tolbert — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 16:49:40 +0000

I agree somewhat except I would add – as you are always good to point out – content is the key. A candidate should put up quality content at regular predictable intervals. And avoid or minimize posts such as “only xx followers from x,x00.” Bad content will drive away followers.

Comment on Big Brother IS watching: the feds in social media by Lannie

I don’t think it’s because of cut backs, it’s probably because it’s an easier way to catch people. I always look for the easier way. Water always flows down hill.

The questions are:

Is this a sign that the times are changing?

The government budget cut backs are involving the use of social media to do these investigations?
