  Redesigned Instagram: Putting the Social Back in Social Media This ten weeks this past winter, a group of 28 Northwestern University students lived and worked in San Francisco as part of the Bay Area Immersion Program. For 10 weeks, we took classes about design, media and innovation with the goal of envisioning a better-designed world, which led us to wonder how we might improve the experience of social media. In our Service Design class, a group of friends — Emma Kumer, David Yoon, Pravika Joshi, Daniel J.S. Brown, and I — decided to redesign one of the most addictive applications on our phones: Instagram. User-testing for something as universal as Instagram is difficult; it was impossible to set aside our own personal experiences with an app that’s become a part of our daily routine. Instagram is so ubiquitous, especially among our generation, that even asking other users for their pain points was difficult.

                             Quora Yesterday, Quora announced that 100 million user accounts were compromised, including private activity like downvotes and direct messages, by a “malicious third party.” Data breaches are a frustrating part of the lifecycle of every online service — as they grow in popularity, they become a bigger and bigger target. Nearly every major online service has had a security breach: Facebook, Google, Twitter, Yahoo, Tumblr, Uber, Evernote, eBay, Adobe, Target, and Sony all extensively leaked user data in the last few years. Security breaches like these are a strong argument for using a password manager, but not a compelling reason to avoid a service you love, unless you plan to quit the internet entirely. But this does seem like a good time to remind you of all the other reasons why you should never, ever use Quora. Hoarding Knowledge Four years ago, Eric Mill wrote about Quora’s tende...
