Guy’s Ten Stupid Ways to Hinder Market Adoption
A great list from Guy Kawasaki if your building a website or service.
Worth the read, there is probably something in here for every site to learn from.
I'll just list the headings:
- Enforced immediate registration.
- The long URL
- Windows that don’t generate URLs
- The unsearchable web site
- Sites without Digg, del.icio.us, and Fark bookmarks
- Limiting contact to email
- Lack of feeds and email lists
- Requirement to re-type email addresses
- User names cannot contain the “@” character
- Case sensitive user names and passwords
- Friction-full commenting
- Unreadable confirmation codes
- Emails without signatures
- Supporting only Windows Internet Explorer
