UX, Predictive Content in The Age of #Bored #Easily #Quickly

March 1, 2018 by thebengali

I love all this new User Xperience (UX) stuff, just love it. Companies, brands, apps, designers, engineers are all into it and everybody together is getting very good at taking decisions for the user (that’s me in this case). In fact, they are so brilliant at UX that they already know what I want, when I want it, how, and they just deliver it without even me having to ask for it: they pre-deliver solutions before I even realise what […]

Appocalyptica … Inky Pinky Ponky

December 13, 2016 by thebengali

The other day I was walking about aimlessly, looking here, looking there, generally in a lethargic mood, undecided about what I would do next, what I wanted to do, and very aware that in the meanwhile, work and errands and chores were piling up. It felt good to just take a walk without purpose – I was ‘browsing about’ one might say. Then, a friend walked by and another and another and before I knew it, several people were rushing […]

Twitter Dear Twitter: Where is thy India Time zone, INR payment option?

September 24, 2016 by thebengali

So, the other day I decided to add Twitter Ads to my recommended media strategy for small businesses. I like Twitter, always have since I started using it. It’s simple, effective, and can be a very efficient advertising platform. But then, during the set-up process, I discovered that Twitter does not list Indian Standard Time as a selection option, and: it does not offer Indian Rupee as a payment currency. I tweeted my query to Twitter For Business in the […]

e(vo)lution.nu.learning

September 5, 2016 by thebengali

The world’s changing and it’s all happening right here in the living room, study or kitchen … basically, wherever you carry your internet-enabled phone (#everywhere). There was a time, a long time ago (I think it was last year), when the world was changing wherever the iPad was; and an even longer time before that (2014?), the world was changing wherever the laptop was, but now it’s the phone. People, friends actually (let me not generalise), (#applelovers.forever. #andever) would […]

Communication

June 30, 2016 by thebengali

I miss my friends. Some of them are right here in Pune, but they might as well be keeping my other friends company in Mumbai, Delhi, Dubai, Hong Kong, Frisco, among other cities. Was a time when my friends were around the country, but I could write a letter to them. We would likely meet once a year, maybe once in two years, but I felt close to them. Today I can pick up the phone and call them any […]
