ProdActivity

Welcome back to ProdActivity! The show where we analyse and review software products/apps/websites and what activities can be done to make them better. So, in this episode, we are analysing #Youtube, one of the biggest media companies in the world, if not the biggest.  As you can see it is a massive platform with lots of products, tools as well as business models and, as you can guess, history of controversy. Even the core platform itself has lots of bells and whistles, therefore in this episode, we will focus only on the main page and video playing page of YouTube desktop. Without further ado, let's get started with Season 2, Episode 4:

“YouTube - landing page (desktop)” – the good, the bad and the features to add!

Hi and welcome to this week’s episode of ProdActivity, where we review and analyse apps and websites, used daily, from the product perspective. In today’s episode, we are looking at a hot topic - #Instagram, a social media channel that started as a photo-sharing platform in 2010 and then was acquired by Facebook in 2012. Today Instagram is the largest platform for photo-enthusiasts, but it is more than that and keeps evolving daily. Is it for better or worse? The time will show. 

But today, let get into “Instagram”, the good, the bad and the features to add.

Upd: A week after this episode, Twitter has added #fleets feature (basically a Snapchat/Instagram-like stories). Personally, I do not think, this was a good choice, but may be we will get used to it as we did with others.

Welcome back to the show! It has been a while, sorry for having a long break! A lot has changed since then in my personal life, I finished a course in product management, took amazing freelance projects on and went through several amazing interviews. Oh and one more thing, the name of the show has changed to something much catchier, and now it is called ProdActivity. The show from now on, as mentioned before, will be about products, product reviews and analysis and what activities can be done to make them better. Thus, the name ProdActivity. So, in this trial episode, we are analysing Linkedin, the tool that millions of people use daily. Warning, as it is the first analysis, the format may not be the best, but here we go. Without further ado, let's get started with Season 2, Episode 1:

“Linkedin” – the good, the bad and the features to add!

Hi everyone!

Hope all is well! This episode is not actually an episode, but more like a summary of a season one and transition to season number two. In the first season, we got to know me a bit starting from childhood, looked at the education and career growth journey and analysed the case of GetGuided with all ups and downs. In the last two episodes, we also understood the difficulties of job search, especially during the pandemic period.

So what is next? As I am looking for a job of a Product Manager, I believe it would be interesting for all and beneficial for me to do software product analysis of different products from famous brands as well as start-ups. We will look at the product overview, the market of the product, the features, the UX/UI and more. During analysis, I will try to provide explanations for the technical terms such as UX/UI, which may prove to be useful if you are interested in product management, development or entrepreneurship. Finally, there will be recommendations for product, features, design and market, where available. If you are interested in product reviews sign up now and send us the products you would like to be reviewed.

For today that is it, thanks a lot for your time and see you in season 2, next week! As always, remember to check Medium channel for visual and written version and check Teespring for apparel by GetGuided. Thanks for listening, stay safe, talk to you later.

Today we are looking at where to find jobs and how to apply, what you need to prepare beforehand, what are the odds of finding a job, the unfair limitations, how to handle rejections, how to sustain yourself financially and more. Each topic will be concise and precise; therefore, the episode may be a bit shorter than the other ones.

Overall, looking back it was a long journey with ups and downs and I am thankful for all. At times I think I worked a lot and learned a lot; at times I think I did not do enough and was not enough for the role. Those doubts will always be there, but the key is to understand both pluses and minuses of the experience and take that onto the next journey with you.

In 2017, we switched our focus from student suppliers to professional guides and from just travellers to travellers and businesses, such as hotels and travel companies. When we decided to pivot our focus, we also have decided to change our product as well. This decision was taken at the end of 2017 and the process continued throughout 2018. My co-founder, back then, already was hired into one of the largest tech companies was not be able to focus as much as before, thus we hired a tech lead to work on the product development. Besides the tech lead, in different quarters of 2018 we hired a supply manager, a sales manager, large client adviser and a part-time designer. In this episode I will focus on key lessons...

2017 was a year when things really got off the ground for GetGuided. We finally started getting customers, we received our first investment and we were building our product. This year was foundational and we did a lot of good, but looking back I would definitely shape things up differently. So in this episode, we will look at a real kick-off year of GetGuided where the most action has happened, 2017. Here is episode four, the second year of GetGuided.
