My thoughts on "The First Question Every Web Site Designer Must Ask" by Seth Godin

"The First Question Every Web Site Designer Must Ask"

"Do you want the people visiting this site to notice it?"
This is the question that Seth Godin says that every web site designer must ask themselves. I think it makes a lot of sense. For example, he says the musicians, and artists want people to notice the site, but other people who are trying to sell products for instance do not want there consumers only caught up in the site rather than the actual product. If you ad too much style to a web site for example, it may attract the viewer to much to the site rather than the actual product.

My thoughts on "Might As Well Panic" by Seth Godin

Seth's Blog - Click Here

Whenever something goes wrong or something happens out of the ordinary, the typical human being will do just one thing: panic. With that being said, through panicking, we disable ourselves from getting anything done and actually solving the problem that is panicking us. We also feel that if people aren't panicking about something, then they do not particularly care. But that proves to be untrue sometimes. Maybe that person that is staying quiet and not showing fear is actually trying to muster up a strategy to counter the problem at hand.

There's a thing about change...

Change

I have to agree with Seth. In this little post he says a lot. He bases his post on the economy and how people don't like what is going on. He directs this specifically towards unhappy people by saying if you don't like something going on then you need to make a radical change and sometimes that involves a sacrifice. With that being said, I do believe that in order to change things you may have to change certain things that involve yourself. And although this might be extreme, sometimes it's the only way.
