Feature Requests

April 17, 2006 by Andy Brudtkuhl - Leave A Comment

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I use several web applications on a daily basis and have narrowed my use down to several great applications. Feature reqests often become annoying but I feel like they do serve an important role in product development. Although there are situations when feature requests often contain language that belittles the entire application as a whole because this one feature is missing. 37Signals had an excellent post on this recently. To users like this you want to say, “Obviously this application creates value to you, or you wouldn’t be requesting a feature.” That being said I have the following feature requests for my favorite web applications.

Delicious
- Much better daily post implementation
- Daily post by tag

Technorati
- RSS based search results

GMail
- HTML in signatures (please!)
- SPAM Auto-Deletion
- Writely integration

Wordpress
- Setup Wizards

Writely
- Document Versioning

Basecamp
- More calendar integration – Outlook, Google Calendar

FeedBurner
- RSS Statistic Delivery

Google Reader
- Better feed management

I’m sure there’s more – I’ll keep you posted
