What apps do you think exemplify a particular region in the US with their style and ux? And what traits do apps from those regions possess?
My initial thoughts:
-
Silicon Valley (San Francisco to San Jose) traits: Productivity, Shared Economy, distilled and simple - examples: AirBnB, Facebook, Google
-
Silicon Beach (LA, San Diego, Santa Monica, Santa Barbara) traits: hip, apparel, lifestyle - examples: Snapchat, Tradesy, Dollar Shave Club
-
Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Seattle) traits: Professional, No nonsense, Data driven - examples: Amazon, Microsoft Office, Simple
-
Austin, TX (??) I feel like austin is the India or Romania of the US. Austin has contracts with every region, but I don't know what its own personality is.
-
New York City traits: High Fashion, Bold, Serif fonts, fashionable typography. Examples: Gilt, Beme,
-
Boston traits: med-tech, conscience - examples.. (?)
-
Japan traits: We are Nintendo. Examples - Mario Run.
-
Silicon Slopes (Provo) traits - ??
-
Anywhere else?
