“A/B testing (also known as split testing) is a system of having two versions (or sometimes more) of a Web page and then showing them randomly to visitors, then comparing what visitors to different versions of the page do. This allows you to see if something as simple as a headline change or as complex as a total redesign has an effect on what user’s do - such as purchase your product or signup for your service. Once the “best” version has been determined, you can then continue to do further A/B tests until you run out of things to try, thus resulting in a better page.”

Send stuff to Tumblr from Google Reader

Fri, 14 Aug 2009 10:26:25 +0530

gesteves:

Google just released a few new features for Google Reader, one of which is an option to send feed items to other sites such as Twitter and Facebook:

We’ve made it easier to share posts you like to Blogger, Twitter, Facebook, and more, with our new “Send to” feature. (Incidentally, Blogger is celebrating its tenth birthday this month, and we’re hoping our friends there will like this little birthday present.) Just head over to the settings page, and enable the services you want to use. If your favorite service isn’t listed (and you’re feeling extra geeky), you can create your own “Send to” link with a URL template.

To share an item on one of your sites, simply click the “Send to” button and choose your service. If you’re into keyboard shortcuts, “shift-t” will do the same.

Enabling Tumblr so you can send items to your blog is quite easy. Just go to the “Send To” tab in the Settings page, press the “create a custom link” button and fill the form like so:

Name: Tumblr
URL: http://www.tumblr.com/share?v=3&u=${url}&t=${title}
Icon URL: http://assets.tumblr.com/images/favicon.gif

Save it, and now Tumblr will appear in the “Send to” menu at the bottom of every feed item, which will launch Tumblr’s bookmarklet when pressed, with the item’s title and URL filled out.

“Also, the gals have set up a Facebook fan page. Search for “FSJ Blog” and click a button or something and then something supposedly happens and basically your life becomes just a tiny bit noisier and shittier than it already was. Seriously, I have no idea why we are doing this except that Iulia says the rule about social networking is that if something can be done, then everyone must do it. So now we have a Facebook page. Knock yourselves out.”
