The Unified Theory

It’s not just about mobile; it’s not just about the Post-PC world.

It’s about creating a unified experience across all devices.

Facebook messages does this well; whether I am on my laptop, desktop, iPad or smartphone, my Facebook messages are in sync and consistant.

Evernote does this well.  I can use Evernote anywhere, on any device and it just works.

More companies need to think about unified experiences; do it well on a computer, do it well on tablets, and do it well on smartphones…make sure they all work together.

I know this isn’t easy, but the sites and applications I am most prone to use are the ones giving me freedom instead of tying me to a single device or platform.
