eCommerce

I really like to find these videos these days that deliver user centric products and services from all the corners of the web. It seems like I could be blogging all day about everything great that is popping up on the radar every single day. Yes, I know, one of these days I will start creating my own. This one will keep you entertained until then. The presentation style is really awesome. 

This video is bit special because it is coming from a local Vancouver entrepreneur, Dick Hardt from Sxip.com, where he presents his solution for Identity 2.0 and how to manage your digital identity across numerous sites. His idea is brilliant, saves time and favors the users as opposed to corporations. Check it out:

Why am I doing this? Well, this video was sent to me from Thierry Latremoille and he asks me to comment on. Since I do not know enough about identity 2.0 just yet or sxip.com for that matter, I have to do some homework. Also, because I want to do this properly, please let me know what you think so I can collect as many benefits as possible (and drawbacks) for using Identity 2.0 services such as sxip.com or any other. I would really like to hear. Thanks!

My SEMPO Canada colleague, Darcy Foster from VKI Studios, made a good post today about his experiment in using the new Google Website Optimizer tool. They came up with a few key insights of using the tool, which you may find interesting:

Notes from running the experiments: Pages that don’t get a lot of traffic can take a very long time to get any results, so you should test fewer variables and fewer versions. Otherwise you might never complete your experiment. Don’t assume because something works on one page that it will work on other or all other similar pages. You’ve got the tool now so test everything.
