Comment on IBM Verse

Comments

There is a "call to action" but nothing to let me know why I might want to act (a brighter space? me to we? I don't know what those mean).

At least with Google's Inbox there is enough actual information for me to evaluate, consider, and eventually arrive at a considered "no, thank you".

With Verse, well, I don't know why I've even devoted the cycles it took to write this, let alone why I would evaluate Verse.

Maybe next time.

Bold claim: if you're on HN, you're not IBM's target demographic

Definitely, but that doesn't mean the messaging shouldn't make sense.

It seems they're hitting on the problem that Email and Calendars are too stupid, cluttered, and have contacts all over the place.

If you're the type of person who agrees with that problem, what do you think you're going to do when faced with the idea of learning an entirely new product like this?

Intriguing point.
