App Updates Matter

While classic business applications of the Microsoft Office ilk don't change radically, many others change dramatically over the course of a year. I've experienced several recent examples where an app that I had previously tried surprised me with a radical increase in functionality.

When I first looked at Flipboard, it had a limited selection of news streams that could be added. While the design was impressive, I stopped using it because I wanted more news sources. It turns out that Flipboard added Google Reader functionality over a year ago. What was I thinking!

Path is another app that has been radically improved over the last year or so.

My takeaway is that I need to pay more attention to app developments. There's no point trying out an app early and then condemning it... which is what I've been doing.
