ℹ️ Hvad er det her?
Hver uge udgiver jeg en opsamling med noget af det bedste indhold, jeg er faldet over i ugens løb indenfor medier, teknologi og det, der ligner.
Tilmeld dig nyhedsbrevet, så sender jeg dig en fin mail, håndskrevet til lejligheden, når der er nyt at læse her på siden:
Bemærk: Du får ikke en mail, så snart, jeg har udgivet nyt – i stedet samler jeg op og sender hyppigst en gang om ugen. Hvis du vil følge med og vide det, så snart, der er nyt skal du følge med via RSS-feed’et.
Indhold:
? Meddelelse fra redaktøren
På grund af fravær tager ugeopsamlingen en pause på et par uger – derfor får du lidt ekstra tid til at nyde denne uges spændende links ?

✖️ Læs om The New York Times’ ‘Story[X]’-laboratorium
Man kan godt blive lidt træt af den efterhånden intensive brug af bogstavet ‘X’. Men dette lyder nu spændende nok 😉
At The New York Times, anticipating and preparing for the future is a job that falls to Story[X], the newsroom-based research and development it launched last May. A “rebirth” of the R&D Lab the Times launched in 2006, Story[X] was created to look beyond current product cycles to how the the Times can get ahead of developments in new technology.

? Derfor er milennials glade for nyhedsbreve
here’s an observable shift, slowly overtaking the ways in which many people consume news. Readers have started to gravitate more towards the individual curator compared to primary publications. 66% of journalists indicate that readers started to follow them first as journalists or as a person. In short, traditional news outlets are no longer the primary source for news-seekers, especially if they are born in the 80’s or after.

? “Visuelle essays”: The Pudding laver intense datavisualiseringer
Giv lige dig selv et par sekunder til at fnise og smile af navnet ‘The Pudding’. Færdig? Super, læs så videre:
The Pudding is the home to high-touch, painstakingly crafted data visualizations — what the site calls “visual essays” — that are distinct in their obsessive complexity over points of cultural curiosity. Most pieces stand wholly apart from the U.S. news cycle; no anxiety-inducing interactives around budget, taxes, health care. Want to see everywhere jazz legend Miles Davis is mentioned across Wikipedia, and how he’s connected to other people, recordings, and places? Here you go.

✨ Et kig på Googles nye operativsystem, Fuchsia
Android and Chrome OS apparently aren’t enough for Google, because the company has been working on a third operating system codenamed Fuchsia for over a year. Now that we’re getting our first good look at the OS’ UI, it’s clear Google has big goals for Fuchsia – perhaps even replacing Android some day.

⏩ Mobildesign i fremtiden
Vores designchef, Jesper Krusbæk, har delt et videoklip med Luke Wroblewski, der er ‘Product Director’ hos Google og manden bag “mobile first”-begrebet:
For the past five years, I’ve presented an overview of the mobile design topics, insights, and solutions I’ve been focused on at Google’s Conversions event in Dublin. This year’s video recording on what’s changed in mobile design over the past ten years and where we could/should go next is now live.

? Rapport: Hvorfor abonnerer folk på nyheder?
The Media Insight Project, a collaboration of the American Press Institute and The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, has undertaken what we believe is one of the largest efforts ever to understand who subscribes to news, what motivates them, and how creators of journalism can engage more deeply with consumers so more people will subscribe.

? Magasin laver egen konkurrent til ‘Outbrain’-widget
Du kender måske disse ‘relaterede indhold’-widgets, som nogle hjemmesider bruger. De linker til artikler fra andre websites, der bør være relateret, men langt fra er det hele tiden. En af de mest populære hedder ‘Outbrain’.
Det amerikanske friluftsmagasin Outside Magazine byggede dog sin egen, der kun linker til andre artikler fra samme magasin – og den klarer sig faktisk lidt bedre i ‘click through rate’:
Hodgson [director of product management at Outside] believed the CTR went up because Outside’s widgets give its editors more control over what appears in the boxes, ensuring the content is more relevant to readers. The Outbrain units used to feature articles like “Miley Cyrus Looks Ridiculous in Butt-Baring,” but Outside’s recommendation boxes now show articles like “How to Survive a Plunge Into Whitewater Rapids.”

✊ Til kamp mod det, der blokerer innovation
MIT Technology Review har dedikeret en udgave af deres nyhedsbrev til emnet ‘Innovation Roadblocks’:
Many of us have an idea that we think can change the world, but few actually turn it into a reality. There are plenty of reasons for that: maybe the idea is flawed, perhaps the money to bring it to life isn’t there, or possibly the right person hasn’t come along to give it that final push over the line. In this trawl of the MIT Technology Review archive, we consider some of the problems facing innovation—and ask how we might overcome them.
Her er artiklerne, de har gravet frem fra arkivet:
- Why We Can’t Solve Big Problems
- Why does it take so long to commercialize new technologies?
- Can We Build Tomorrow’s Breakthroughs?
- How unglamorous grunt work can lead to creative innovation
- The People Own Ideas! Do we want music, software, and books to be free – or not?

? Gode tips til ‘onboarding’
Onboarding handler kort fortalt om arbejdet med at få folk til at tilmelde sig din tjeneste.
En af dem, der skriver mest (og bedst) om det, er Samuel Hulick fra ‘User On Board’, og han har skrevet artiklen ‘Bulletproof User Onboarding’.

? Bruger-research, når du ikke kan tale med dine brugere?
It’s not breaking news to say that the core of UX, in a vacuum, is talking to your users to gather insights and then applying that information to your designs. But it’s equally true that UX does not happen in a vacuum. So what happens when you don’t have the budget or the timeline to run user tests, card sorts, or stakeholder interviews? What should you do when your company doesn’t want you bothering the paying customers who use their software? In short, how do you do UX research when you can’t get direct access to your users?

? For få bruger ‘code review’
Ifølge en undersøgelse som forlaget O’Reilly og Software Improvement Group har udført, så er det eksempelvis 80 procent af udviklerne, som ser eksterne code reviews som et vigtigt værktøj. Men det er blot 20 procent, som faktisk får udført eksterne code reviews.
