An interesting mother daughter interaction about MySpace and the implications for 2 week development cycles which our tech team are into. Kathy Sierra asks MySpacing daughter "why didn't she fall in love with LiveJournal? Her answer is a lesson for software developers (especially Web 2.0-ers), and was a theme of SXSW: "myspace keeps doing what everybody really wants, and it happens instantly." She said they respond to feedback, "As soon as you think of something, it's in there." She said, "It's always evolving. It changes constantly. There's always something new." I asked if these changes were disruptive or made it harder to use when nothing stays the same, and she gave me that teenage-attitude eye-rolling what-a-lame-question look. Then she said the weirdest thing of all: "myspace is like a whole new plane of existence."
