Paying attention is important
This is yet another post on why paying attention to the small things is important to a lot of users, not just me.
I’m new to Plurk. I’ve only just started using it in the past couple of months and I love it. I love how much more dynamic it is than Twitter. Although the replies interface at Plurk is still a little clunky. Overall Plurk is doing it right. The other day I signed on to Plurk and they were undergoing some routine maintenance and I was greeted to this message by the awesome little Plurk Creatures. Needless to say this made my night. Dare I say that page was cute. It made me want to buy all those Plurk Creatures as either vinyl or plush toys (hint hint).
Anyways, they are a prime example of what I mean when I say “pay attention to the small stuff”. They could have put up a simple message but instead chose to take their branding all the way through to their messages of maintenance. This is a win in my book and yet another example for companies who find themselves poorly executing the easy stuff.
