A subscriber on the privacy list said there's been some changes
today. They seem pretty trivial.
But I wonder if that's all Zuckerberg meant when he wrote some time
in the last 36 hours: "i'd like to show an improved product rather
than just talk about things we might do. ... We're going to be ready
to start talking about some of the new things we've built this week".
My response to that at lunchtime was that it shows how little
Zuckerberg has learnt (2 mins 15 sec of audio accessible from the
head of Asher Moses' article below).
Zuckerberg's concept of design is 'Act first, repent later', and
'They're all willing guinea pigs, and everyone's a beta-tester, so
why should we use old-fashioned ideas like user requirements
analysis, external design specs, alpha testing on sceptical insiders,
and beta testing on a small sub-set of informed external users??'.
The above quote is from
