One of the things that I love most about working at Less Annoying Software is that we don't have any artificial barriers between us and our work. If we need a new feature, I'm free to design, implement and deploy it without anything getting in the way. When I'm done, I let Bracken know a...

When Bracken and I decided to start Less Annoying Software, I left my full-time job so that I could dedicate most of my time to building our customer manager, but I still do some consulting work for my old company. For the past two weeks I've been spending some time redesigning their signup pr...

As you may have gleaned from our previous posts, Tyler and I are pretty big fans of many Google software products. Among other things, Less Annoying Software uses Google Voice to handle telephone service, Google Apps for email and documents, and Adwords for the majority of our advertising. It prob...

As you probably know, Google released a new social networking feature called Google Buzz. Just like any Google product, some people love it and some people hate it. There are a lot of legitimate criticisms (mostly about the major privacy holes), but there's one criticism that I just can'...
