You want to know... we all want to know...
What is happening?
Where is it happening?
When is it happening?
It struck me at 2am, that the real core value of this service is summed up by those 3 questions. Everything else, is just waffle.
With that in mind, I have taken the radical decision to rename "seerfeed.com" as "andthe3questions.com".
Since the service is still at an early stage, a change like this is not too difficult to pull off.
Why? Seerfeed was an elegant name to describe the service, but nobody could intuitively understand the service. Everyone needed an explanation. Not ideal.
Where as the name "andthe3questions.com" will be highly intuitive when coupled with the tag line "What Where When" and the local subdomain. For example:
farnham.andthe3questions.com - What? Where? When?
Find your Seerfeed...
Notifications?
Why don't you just call them notices?
That's what they are after all, notices, and Seerfeed is the noticeboard. All be it, a clever noticeboard with a delivery system at it's heart so people don't have to come to the noticeboard to see the notices if they don't want to. People can subscribe to Seerfeed and have the notices come to them.
The word 'notice' means something to people. The word 'notifications' on the other hand doesn't seam to mean much to people.
Think I'll go ahead and change the wording...

Tinkering
It's been a weekend of seemingly minor alterations here at Seerfeed, but in terms of usability, a wider layout and clearer links are well worth the effort.
