The Sunday Summary: Social media is junk food, Google is a leapfrog, and expensive solutions are easy to build

In an effort to help me keep up with everything I post each week, here is my latest “Sunday Summary” of my posts from the week.

Mon, November 18: Users with disabilities are visiting your website Whether you know it or not, users with disabilities are visiting your website and you should be putting in the effort to properly serve them.

Tue, November 19: 2D versus 3D content in meetings “2D content is usually simple, yes/no, or fact driven. 2D modes of communication can include texts, emails, printouts, online chats, and so on. Reports and presentation decks are also 2D. Conversely, 3D content has nuance, emotion, or the opportunity for creative thinking.”

Wed, November 20: Do you treat social media like junk food? “When I use social media, it’s like your diet. I think some people just want the junk food diet version of it. And other of us like actually make an effort to use it as a way to make ourselves smarter or more informed about the world.”

Thu, November 21: Assumed execution “If we worked in an environment of “assumed execution,” we’d need none of these. How much lighter our inboxes would be if we made an explicit pact with our email community to assume every email was delivered, read, and thoughtfully attended to.”

Fri, November 22: Using Google as a leapfrog “I’m using Google to get me to a thing that I already know I want to go to; that’s the only thing I’m using search engines for now.”

Sat, November 23: Expensive solutions are the work of mediocrity “Any designer can design a desk that will cost $5,000, but only the most highly skilled can design a good functional desk that will only cost $100.”

I hope you found some value in this. If you ever have questions, ideas, or disagreements regarding anything I write, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
