"More Polka Dots!"
One of the best ways to get feedback on your website is to simply ask people what they think. But once you’ve exhausted your friends, family and colleagues – what then?
Do you launch based on the fact that your dear grandma Martha said “you should add more purple…and polka dots!”
Not a chance.

If you’re like me, you might think about checking your Twitter or Facebook page “just for a minute”. We all know how that turns out, right? You come across some interesting link, piece of news or other tidbit that catches your eye – and you check it out.
By then, 15 minutes have passed and you know you really should get back to work. So you bookmark the page with the hopes of checking it out later. Then, when you’re sitting at the DMV/waiting room/other time-suck department, without a magazine in sight (that you’d want to handle, anyway), you suddenly wish you could grab that list of links and catch up on some reading.
Well, you’re not alone. A fellow named Nate Weiner was in the same boat – except he did something about it…
Several years back, before cappuccinos and mochachinos and caramelattes became the “in” drinks of choice for my generation, I used to get my flavored coffee fix from the local convenience store. Sure, the cappuccino machine just spat out hot water half the time, and the flavors were usually limited to Vanilla and Out of Order, but when it did work – it was a real treat, and cheap too.
There was always an older gentleman there, sitting in one of the mock cafe booths, watching the world pass by while sipping on a large coffee. It seemed like kind of a ritual for him. If there wasn’t any fresh coffee when he came in, he would calmly ask one of the cashiers if they could make some when they had a spare moment. He was kind, considerate and well-liked. Most of the time.
