USEFUL LINK: Five observations from a web designer after reading “What Would Google Do?”

December 1st, 2009 No comments

I’ve only scanned this link to a blog post from “Jeff Wong Design” where he shares his notes from a web designer’s point of view after reading “What Would Google Do?” by Jeff Jarvis.

At first blush, this seems like good commonsense stuff that’s so easy to ignore and often is.

I will read it more carefully and share my observations from what I learned.

Has anybody read the book?  What about Jeff’s observations?  Agree?  Disagree?  Are they helpful?

This is for everybody from my pastor to my state senator, mayor, city council members, etc.

This is the best free advice I’ve seen in a long time for anybody trying to persuade or sell a product or a set of ideas.

There are so many individuals and groups with so many important things to say and they’re failing at it.  Chaos rules in the whole communication arena.

Pastors struggle with it as do politicians, including and especially local officials like city council members, county commissioners, state legislators and whole lots more.

Gary Vaynerchuk is a young New Jersey guy who gets it.  He understands what has happened in the marketplace with changes that started before the web.  He’s a wine guy who has a turned into a bastion of wisdom.  His daily wine podcast is downloaded by thousands.

Watch this CNN interview  if you have a need to see your ideas or your product.  Then leave your impressions and questions.  I really want to talk about this more.
