And, like the iPod, it will play especially nice with Macs to start.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There is yet another piece of related sayings :-<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em> If you want to change big things, you pay attention to small things.&#8221; -Rudy Giuliani on C-span talking about the Broken Windows theory  The Broken Windows theory was the catalyst for solving NYC\u2019s crime wave in the 80\u2019s and 90\u2019s. NYC\u2019s administration had been focusing on major crimes, like murder, and overlooking smaller crimes along the way. But it wasn\u2019t working. So the city started going after petty crime that it had been overlooking: turnstyle jumpers, squeegee men, public drunks, etc. The result: All crime rates fell suddenly and continued to drop for the next ten years.  Giuliani says, \u201cThe idea of it is that you had to pay attention to small things, otherwise they would get out of control and become much worse.\u201d      In a lot of our approach to crime, quality of life, social programs, we were allowing small things to get worse rather than dealing with them at the earliest possible stage\u2026So we started paying attention to the things that were being ignored. Aggressive panhandling, the squeegee operators that would come up to your car and wash the window of your car whether you wanted it or not \u2014 and sometimes smashed people\u2019s cars or tires or windows \u2014 the street-level drug-dealing; the prostitution; the graffiti, all these things that were deteriorating the city. So we said, \u201cWe\u2019re going to pay attention to that,\u201d and it worked. It worked because we not only got a big reduction in that, and an improvement in the quality of life, but massive reductions in homicide, and New York City turned from the crime capital of America to the safest large city in the country for five, six years in a row.  Building momentum One key component of Broken Windows is that it shows progress. It\u2019s not about miracles or heroic solutions or solving massive problems overnight. It\u2019s about building momentum. It\u2019s showing your audience that you\u2019re headed in the right direction. It\u2019s making visible changes, even slight ones, that show you\u2019re doing something. Someone is on the case. People know that you haven\u2019t abandoned them. You\u2019re giving them a reason to trust you. You\u2019re building faith.Broken Windows and the web This concept applies to all kinds of areas, not just fighting crime. In fact, others have already pointed out connections between Broken Windows and web development:  In Software Entropy, the Pragmatic Programmers talk about entropy, broken windows, and computing neighborhoods.      Don\u2019t leave \u201cbroken windows\u201d (bad designs, wrong decisions, or poor code) unrepaired. Fix each one as soon as it is discovered. If there is insufficient time to fix it properly, then board it up. Perhaps you can comment out the offending code, or display a \u201cNot Implemented\u201d message, or substitute dummy data instead. Take some action to prevent further damage and to show that you\u2019re on top of the situation.  And Broken Windows Theory and Your Web Site says visiting a site with broken links, misleading navigation, or missing images is like visiting a neighborhood where \u201cyou get the feeling that no one cares.\u201d      If you\u2019re trying to create a community around your web site, I think you really have to consider this theory because it prompts you look at the value of the small and seemingly inconsequential problems on your site. By considering the ways that small problems can multiply a feeling of apathy, you may find that your time is better-spent fixing broken windows as opposed to building new houses.  Solving \u201cstreet-level\u201d problems at your site It seems counterintuitive to focus on little problems instead of big ones. But cracking down on your version of squeegee men, graffiti, etc. could yield surprising results.  <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I found this in the Signals Vs Noise blog and am posting the excerpts here.
