So after gallons of coffee and sacrifices to Elsbeth and my time together, BuyWithMe launches in New York. My favoite deal is the SPiN New York ping pong.  Half price with a free drink, I’m exhausted, but check it out: http://www.buywithme.com/sheckys/deals/365-spin-nyc-ping-pong

if I could, I’d totally A/B test this for BuyWithMe’s registration page.

Luke Wroblewski wrote an article yesterday titled, “Mad Libs” Style Form Increases Conversion 25-40%. The post was about a team, led by Ron Kurti, redesigning a form for Vast.com. By no means do I intend to knock the success of the redesign, but part of me wonders if the conclusion was rushed. In addition to using a narrative user flow, he’s also:

Lessened form inputs, added placeholder text, and made one optional
Removed distracting links throughout
Highlighting contextual information like the car being negotiated
Made the submit button bigger
Added icons
Said “Thank you”

Luke mentions the possibility of other factors affecting the result in his review, but I think it may be an understatement. Sometimes conversion rates can be massively improved by a minor change to a design or user flow. While A/B testing can be very useful, keep in mind that it is still a science and comprehensively reviewing constants and variables is a big part of that science.

Instapaper Blog: Choosing pagination tap zones - oh how I despise the accidental action

Instapaper Pro 2.2’s tap zones for pagination:

I debated about these for a while and tried a few others during development:

Sides only: Didn’t fit with concept of web pages, especially since you can toggle out of pagination mode and scroll manually at any time. The content is…
