Readings for the day: 10-07-2007

  • Dans l'édito oublié, le journaliste de l'Express Christophe Barbier, revient sur dérapage de Patrick Devedjian à l'encontre d'Anne-Marie Comparini.
  • Scaling Google for every user by Dare Obasanjo. He also authored another interesting article "lessons on innovation from Google". To him, "one reason that a number of Google's products are considered innovative is that they challenge a number of pre-existing notions about software in certain categories."
  • How to run experiments on your website by using A/B testing. Very interesting paper entitled Practical Guide to Controlled Experiments on the Web: Listen to Your Customers not to the HiPPO by the Microsoft experimentation platform team that explain A/B tests, splits tests etc. They "provide a practical guide to conducting online experiments, where end-users can help guide the development of features. [their] experience indicates that significant learning and return-on-investment (ROI) are seen when development teams listen to their customers, not to the Highest Paid Person’s Opinion (HiPPO)."

Truth be told, it's one of these sentences that are thrown away when a conflict arises, but on which, few can give a precise defintion.
