We still need expertise, I don't know how to design a bridge, and my doctor can't design a web app, but we also need the expertise that users develop, that today's manufacturer's just throw away.<blockquote><i>The current product development process, that focuses on a few supposed geniuses and ignores the intelligence that's in the user's minds, same as with unconferences, is about to run its course much as the old style conference can't possibly compete with one that involves the brains of the people formerly known as the audience.</i></blockquote></p> <p>Back to AT&T/Yahoo. I could tell them so much about their organization because I've had to deal with 20 different people in their organization the last couple of days. The information I have is stuff they don't, and I'm sharing it with other people on the web, and it's going to show up in the search results when people try to figure out whether or not they should go with AT&T/Yahoo (so far, I wouldn't, I'm on the verge of cancelling the order, but they're getting another chance, because Comcast is even worse).</p> Wed, 13 Sep 2006 18:20:44 GMT http://www.scripting.com/2006/09/13.html#lessonsFromAtamptyahoo http://www.scripting.com/2006/09/13.html#ahemCoughTeaseCoughAhem <p><img src="http://images.scripting.com/archiveScriptingCom/2006/09/13/tease.gif" width="300" height="53" border="0" alt="A picture named tease.gif"></p> <p><a href="http://scripting.wordpress.com/2006/09/13/scripting-news-for-9132006/#comment-10105">Ryan Sholin</a>: "Does this mean a new NewsRiver online aggregator comes with a slice of strawberry cheesecake?"</p> <p><a href="http://discuss.userland.com/msgReader$17701"><img src="http://www.scripting.com/images/cheesecake.jpg" height="45" width="50" border="0"></a></p> Wed, 13 Sep 2006 17:38:38 GMT http://www.scripting.com/2006/09/13.html#ahemCoughTeaseCoughAhem
