Principles for Web App Success
Tuesday, August 9, 2011 at 04:11PM A little old but still relevant:
Great talk by VC Fred Wilson on principles to create successful web applications.
The 10 Golden Principles of Successful Web Apps from Carsonified on Vimeo.
1. Speed
2. Instant Utility
3. Software is Media
4. Less is More
5. Make it Programmable
6. Make it Personal
7. RESTful
8. Discoverability
9. Clean
10. Playful
I agree with them all it is a great list I would call 5.) Platform First… but I guess “Make it programmable” is a little easier to understand.
There is a question at the end of the video about Mobile.. however, I really think that once your app is “Programmable” then the types of devices it can be consumed on is really limitless. However, there are some Mobile qualities that could be useful like being “Location Aware” although not sure if it would qualify at a generic principle level.
The list is a good list because in my mind is primarily a combination of things that Seth Godin, Dion Hinchlffe and the guys from 37signals have said many times over.
One I would stick in there is “Play well with others” specifically in regards to Authentication, Authorization and User Data via the leverage/support of emerging/standards like OpenID, OAuth, OpenSocial, FaceBook Connect etc… What do you think is missing ?

—jimmy choo replica handbags I can't believe how appallingly bad that incoherent, poorly structured piece of 'satire' truly was. It's writer is humiliatingly talentless.
I actually feel sorry for the incompetent chump who wrote it; it reads like some confused ramblings an especially hopeless troll would leave in the comments of a proper article. —bottega veneta replica handbags
