I am now officially working for Gaia.
Yesterday, my first day at work, I spent whole day playing!!! How cool is that for the first day experience!! You can't trump that! I dressed up my avatar, polished my profile, and I played the Beta zOMG (which I ended up playing 2 more hours after work). I read a few manga to learn about Gambino.... yea, totally a fresh new user.
Walked around the office yesterday meeting other Gaians. They are super cool... but of course, inside of me, I secretly admire all the artists... OMG, they are super talented. I am fascinated by their skills! Hmm, I wonder if they can draw the cartoon-ized me.
On the 2nd day, I tried to browse / play some more! Instead of finish reading the manga, I started the mini-comic strips... haha, they are funny... my favorite one is "The Spartan Effect" with the disclaimer that I only went through 10~15 of them.
wa8name was a bit anti-social yesterday ... yea, she was shy on her first day. But, it's the 2nd day, she better be active and start to make some friends. Hmmm... seems like there is no way to add friend via user ID? wa8name had trouble adding. After bumping around, finally, wa8name decided to ask for help. O duh, there are buttons at the bottom of the friends list!!!! Dude, can't find any easier way to add friends!
Buttons above or buttons below? One is against the natural flow, and one has the potential to go below the fold... Oops, can't help not to think like an experience designer.
Anyway, wa8name: " YES!! I have friends on Gaia now. "
