This is just a quick though that was bolstered today by a post I read on Fast Company . The thought that business software has to ignore consumer “level” features and usage is ludicrous. Making something easy-to-use and actually functional should outweigh endless configuration and confusing interfaces. Consumer software (mint, facebook, twitter) focus on the user and how they will interact with the app. These solutions make usage fun and functional at the same time. As the development of software evolves, look for more consumer-centric design in business apps – or at least I hope so
