Weekly Round-up: Content as Furniture, Feedback, Drunk Users, and More
Here's K15t Software 's weekly social web round-up for technical writers, information architects, and content strategists.
This week's top story from Mark Baker (Every Page is Page One): "Content as Furniture"
Content as Furniture – #ContentStrategy
Mark Baker compares content strategy with moving a house full of books. "Content has become a utility. Like the water and the electricity, it is just supposed to be there when you turn on the tap or the switch." (via Techwhirl )
HipChat is now free for unlimited users – #Atlassian
Atlassian announces a new subscription plan that gives you unlimited HipChat users, because teams of every size deserve the power of HipChat: "We want to show them how good chat can be when it’s actually designed for teams." (via @atlassian )
Don’t give me feedback – #Collaboration
Why Tobias Mayer doesn't like feedback and how we can learn without feedback: "Feedback is judgement. It creates (or reinforces) an imbalanced power relationship between the giver and the receiver of the feedback." (via @tobiasmayer )
Scroll Versions 2.5 and Scroll Translations 1.4 released – #K15t
Our translation and version management add-ons for enterprise wiki Atlassian Confluence have been updated. This release enables you to publish a language to an existing space containing multiple languages. (via k15tsoftware )
The User is drunk – #UserExperience
Will Dayble about interfaces and why we should guide our users to a process as if they were drunk, not dumb: "A person with an IQ of 160 who is drunk still has an IQ of 160. They just get more pedantic and more annoyed." (via @ PierreBurnel )
