They used my feature idea!

August 24, 2007 |

Well, I’m now an iTunes user for life!

Want to make your users into fanatical users? Listen to them! Few things will inspire a user more than knowing that they have contributed to a product in a way that’s meaningful to them.

I often find myself watching a movie, or a favorite TV show while I’m doing my general surfing/puttering around on my computer. My ideal would be to have a half-size window playing in the corner of my screen. But unlike the music miniplayer, the video player lacked an “always on top” feature.

So I entered a feature request.  And now it’s there! I’m now, officially, a fanatical user!

(No, I’m not so naive to think that I was the only person to request this feature, but don’t burst my bubble, OK?)
