Louis Gray’s “five stages of early adopterism” chart
One of my favorite posts Louis Gray ever did was this one where he explained the stages early adopters go through as we use a product. Right now I’m in the “migration” phase with FriendFeed and the “entitlement” phase with Google Reader (actually, thinking about it, I’m in the migration phase there too).
But some tools and services get to restart the loop. Twitter did that for me in June.
What happened in June?
Well, I had an accidental meeting with Ev Williams (founder/CEO of Twitter) and he told me about the wave of new features that would be coming soon (lists was the first one).
If you’ve been following my dealings with Twitter I tried to get everyone to join FriendFeed. You all know how that worked out. In hindsight that never would have worked because of the chat/forum problem I talked about last night.
So, now, because of Twitter’s new lists feature we are back in the “discovery phase” and moving quickly to “promotion.”
It’s a pain to figure out what I’m excited about, I know. It’s a pain for ME to figure it out!
One thing I love about this new world is everyone can Tweet about what they are excited about.
So, Tweet on!
What are you excited about? What are you migrating off of?
