The blog of Abraham Williams

I've been playing around with Google Music  a bit in the last few days and with the launch of Google+ I've been thinking a lot more about features Google can add. The one feature that would really make Music a killer application is instant availability from any Google page. The ground work has already been laid with the new black Sandbar launched with Google+ . If you would also like to see Google implement this go to  https://music.google.com/ , sign into your account, and click on send feedback  in the upper left corner. Highlight a section of the classic sandbar, describe the feature request, and hit preview . Sample text or you can write your own. Make sure it is clear what you are requesting regardless. Please add music controls here that enable playing music from any Google page. Finally hit send feedback to Google . You can now get back to trolling on Google+.

Recently I presented at Social App Workshop on Minimalism in Feature Implementation. I had a great time, saw some awesome projects, and met some inspiring people. Here is my presentation: Minimalism - Social App Workshop July 2010 - Abraham Williams from heroku on Vimeo . Be sure to check out the slides and a great video on keeping features simple yet powerful by Joel Spolsky . Check out the rest of the App Workshop videos including presentations from Twitter , Facebook , Apigee , Heroku , and Twilio . Twilio's presentation is especially good.
