About
So what is the point of this tumblelog? It would be good to establish a little bit about who I am, and what this site is meant to accomplish.
My name is Chris Poteet, and I am a consultant with Portal Solutions. We do nothing but solutions on the Microsoft server stack and particularly SharePoint. SharePoint is an amazing tool that has almost endless possibilities, but it has some rough edges. Ask any SharePoint consultant, and they can easily go on at length about things in SharePoint that baffle them. This blog is about those baffling moments.
The difference between good applications and great applications are details, and SharePoint is such a massive application (really it’s a platform which has a default interface and features) that many details get lost or are forgotten. This blog is about the interactions, information architectures, usability issues, and other experience decisions that I and the community find problematic with the application. My goal is to raise awareness for end users, power users, consultants, and hopefully the Microsoft team eventually.
This is meant to be a community effort, and you can submit entries to this blog using the Tumblr submit page or contact me through my main blog. Submitters will get all credit. Feel free to submit suggestions as well if you feel this can be improved.
I write longer articles on SharePoint, UX, and more at www.siolon.com, and you can find me on Twitter @chrispoteetpro.
