Twitter has been hard at work to improve the user experience on its platform. Not only does the company want to promote meaningful content and lower the amount of spam floating around, but it also wants to become a more “conversational” platform.
Sara Haider, Director of Product Management at Twitter, uncovered two new features that are currently being tested as a new approach: threaded replies (kind of like what Facebook already does) and status indicators (again, much like what Instagram and Messenger are already offering.)

CIOs are often inundated with vendor promises of a user experience so superb, they won’t need to fret about employee training. But CIOs should be skeptical when they hear promises like these, especially when it comes to AI and automation technologies.

If you want to grow your business, adding a chatbot to your website is key. Think of all the messaging services people use on a daily basis; it’s the preferred way to communicate for many of us.

Companies like Nike have realized that they’re no longer just making and marketing products; they’re really in the business of crafting user experiences.
As Dan Maccarone, CEO and co-founder of product design firm Charming Robot, puts it, “The experience is the brand.”
In an omnichannel world, the user experience starts long before customers put their hands on the product or download the app. It encompasses everything from advertising and website design to social media, retail displays, packaging, the Muzak that’s playing as shoppers enter the store, the help they receive from a salesperson or a chatbot and the subject line on the emailed receipt.

User experience (UX) is the most important part of any app. If a user finds an app difficult to use then it doesn’t matter how well it’s built or how good it looks – they won’t use it.
There are many areas within user experience, but the one we will focus on is micro interactions, which closely link to motion design and to the user interface (UI). Micro interactions are sometimes overlooked or viewed as a ‘nice to have’, however more and more people are seeing the benefits of spending time implementing them to enhance UX and better engage their end users.

If you look at the modern shopping experience, it is obvious that today’s consumers are used to being able to quickly find what they are looking for on well-designed mobile apps and websites, they are used to being able to find information on the products they are looking at with a couple clicks and finally, once they have made their decision, they can finalize their purchase quickly, without friction.
With this process, we have all gotten used to going through these steps in an intuitive fashion, proceeding without wondering what to do next or where to go. The modern online shopping experience allows for instant gratification, with shoppers able to complete the process as conveniently as possible.
Due to our familiarity with smooth, seamless online shopping, we now naturally gravitate towards real-world shopping experiences that offer us the smoothest, most convenient path with the lowest amount of friction.

Marketers tasked with driving online commerce are facing obstacles such as intense price competition, skyrocketing customer expectations, and a disloyal customer base.
With struggle, however, comes progress and so ecommerce marketers are, in some ways, forging a path for other marketers who may very well end up in their position in the future.
But what are ecommerce marketers doing differently from everyone else now? And how can other marketers learn from them, before experiencing similar difficulties?

We have all experienced products with either a fantastic or a poor user experience. The latter feel unintuitive and hard to use. You can’t find what you’re looking for, and you’re not clear what to do next. You may navigate to a dead end or receive a cryptic error message. It may be hard to read the text, or the design may not be aesthetically pleasing. All of those problems are symptoms of bad UX design.

Enterprises of all sizes across the globe are turning to advanced analytics to understand and optimize the user experience. But when your users are spread all over the country (or the world), how can you get the information you need to create a more engaging and meaningful app experience?
Mobile analytics give you the power to see how users are engaging with your app, and where you can improve the user experience to drive app growth.
