I worked for a social network start-up company for more than years. From my experience, this article is so true. We were developing with the new technologies with a lot of features. At the end, it became a swiss-army knife not a hammer. It lost the core. It was a very very expensive lesson.

Couldn’t agree more, especially about the user experience experts. A friend of mine used to say, “Ship early and ugly” and, “People like a product that does something simple and understandable, and does it quickly and reliably”. Just a different way of saying, don’t succumb to feature, or option or configuration creep.

In Japan they say that a rock garden is not complete if there is still something in it that could be removed. The same applies to product design. It’s more about saying “no” than “yes”.

Great article! Regarding your words “Think how, not what”, and “a sign-up process is not just a sign-up process”…

We tried to invert the sign up process in our startup, by first letting the user play with our tool, and once clicking “save”, he or she will be prompted with a sign up screen. If they don’t want to loose what they did save, the will have to sign up :-)
