Except for the annoying freemium model thing which makes you struggle for each and every seedling I think its pretty cool. I like the way its designed to feel like a chilled out and 'open' place where you can just hang out in.<br />There must be some clever way to get around the 'shame' factor. I for one avoided going to go back to Animal Crossing after months of neglect, avoiding the inevitable trauma of having to witness spiders and cobwebs everywhere :(<br />http://www.heartx5.com/Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16957500794854268287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717087543328843437.post-30681122483226330142010-07-09T21:49:50.440-04:002010-07-09T21:49:50.440-04:00Yeah, you can't search for friends, because mi...Yeah, you can't search for friends, because mindbloom respects your privacy, sadly to its detriment, I think. I'll be your mindbloom buddy!Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12923931997733201691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717087543328843437.post-62611426963187494602010-07-09T20:00:28.058-04:002010-07-09T20:00:28.058-04:00I found the guilt-to-ignore thing happened to me w...I found the guilt-to-ignore thing happened to me with a great goal-setting app I used to use. I'll give this thing a whirl, though.<br /><br />I can't seem to search for friends who are already on there, just invite new ones.

I'd have a similar reaction once I had no time for nintendogs, and it probably is even worse with a work related productivity tool. I'd get all worked up over the pseudo-guilt, which isn't exactly what I'd think to be the goal in ux design. why not rather work with positive reinforcement? (ok, everyone is doing that)<br /><br />gotta try out mindbloom for myself though. thanks for sharing!Zydakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14995785449442884754noreply@blogger.com
