Digital Media: Things That Have Let Me Down
Annik and Kahlee inspired me to do this. We fail and we learn. We need to learn to fail fast. Stop touting all your successes and show me your failures. Show me what you learnt. We always have top 10 lists.
Show me the sixty-shitty lists.
Comment & Add yours.
- DRM. Hah.
- Privacy. Hah.
- Summary RSS feeds
- Digg: Like drinking from a fire hydrant. Full of dirty water.
- NAB: Spamming Bloggers
- Virgin: Just where did your account go?
- Brightkite: Sigh, and you were so promising.
- EVERY FUCKING TWITTER BOT
- Second Life: Graphics, Download Time, Lifespan.
- Vodafone: Customer login never works.
- Vodafone: iPhone
- Google Blogger: Comments crashing.
- The reaction of Australian Women Online
- Ning: Close but no cigar. UX or something is still awry
- Facebook: you could have at least given us a choice or an email back if we bothered to email you about YOUR NEW DESIGN.
- Facebook event management: still needs work. But scubscribe-able URL good.
- LinkedIn: Took your time catching up. Still so much work to do. Yes, your iPhone app was good. Now fix your site and service.
- Wii: MarioKart world play — no communication??
- Telstra: Your enormous (10ft?) protype phone in the hall on level 4 to demonstrate UX — how much did that cost you?
- Me. So much to learn, so little time.
Crowd Sourced:
- Wickedboy: you have……just kidding :) facebooks continual ads assuming that my sexuality is in question, thats let me down
- Shannon: bandwidth
- Iggy: what let me down in digital space is the ‘conservative roadblock’ attitude – doing the same thing and expecting a different result
- BrandDNA: Search in Twitter. Buried way down below the fold. Would never have found it if someone hadn’t shown me.
- Anon: Adobe – Flash is a pig, AIR is crap

Spinelessness of brands entering the social space. Pick a bank. Almost any one.
If you’re a global brand, with offices and agents in Australia why won’t you let Amazon ship your product to me ?
Hah. I like it.
Failure is inherent in success.
The Motrin affair gets my vote.
Capped broadband data plans. Fukkers.
Thanks guys :)
Hotmail (a long, long time ago). And I had my perfect user name!
I’ll second the stupid Twitter bots. Argh!!
