USER PERSONA

/ Urban BrendanBrendan is a young professional who works as a developer in NYC. He lives in Brooklyn and travels to work on public transit.

/ Urban BrendanBrendan often catches up with world, local and tech news during his ride to work.

He has friends in multiple cities and enjoys sharing news stories with them.

/ Urban BrendanBrendan’s social and work life is pretty busy and he often has hard time finding the right article to read for the time he has available.

/ Urban Brendan“It’s overwhelming to scan facebook when I want to find an interesting piece of content.”

“I don’t have much time during the week for reading for pleasure so I quickly scan Twitter to be aware of popular topics.”

Information is the most

valuable asset.

“I didn’t know that I’d enjoy the TED video of the robotic bird somebody shared with me on Twitter; or the stunning photos of the last Space Shuttle flight someone linked to on Facebook. I would never have actively searched for these things. Instead, they found their way to me.”
