appathy | 16 years ago | on: Ask HN: Which of these two designs should we use?

I like the second better because the capitalization makes it easier to read.

"HELP BUBBLE CAN SAVE THE DAY"

vs.

"Help Bubble can save the day"

I didn't realize your product was called Help Bubble when I read the text on the first website and I was confused. I thought maybe there was a can of bubbles that needed help saving the day.

appathy | 16 years ago | on: Google Dashboard: This is a brief of how much Google knows about you
