DIY Marketing Blog: Button Color Test: Red beats... →
A question we hear a lot at Performable is: “Which button color converts best?” As design teams publish and test landing pages they inevitably get around to choosing a button color for their page. And given that small details can make big differences in conversion, it makes sense to consider the…

Marco.org: Mobile OS web-browsing share →
Some people are criticizing John Gruber’s piece on iPad and Android browser share because Apple-product owners are more likely to visit his site (a bias he clearly acknowledged). I was curious to see more widespread numbers, so I got permission to post Tumblr’s OS percentages from Google…
Reblogging Marco again, I know, but these figures are quite interesting.
Marco.org: On Read It Later →
Read It Later is a competitor to my Instapaper service. I was asked for a comparison via email, and rather than pretend like a competitor doesn’t exist1 and keep silent about it on my blog, I’m comfortable addressing it (oh no! giving traffic and attention to a competitor!) and clarifying…
I love Marco’s last point - on reaching the 99% of iPhone users who haven’t already...

Let me share them with you now;

Lib-Dem vs Conservative →
The lib dems’ policies, while obviously popular with the voter, are unlikely to float in an already cash-strapped Britain unless they raise taxes. The conservatives, on the other hand, are possibly even being a little too pessimistic. Clegg is the man of the moment because, with his fresh-faced enthusiasm and optimistic manifesto, he seems to represent a brighter Britain for the future. Cameron,...

Bobulate: A canceling culture →
No matter how hard we try, we’re guilty of it. Promises to meet friends, family, and colleagues for lunches, coffee and tea, dog walks, play dates, and dinners go unmet. “Let’s get together soon!” we agree each time there’s a chance encounter. But words fall empty as we realize, somewhat…
