Permission Priming: BlueJeans.com
When I visited BlueJeans.com for a video conference Chrome prompted me for microphone and camera permissions.

The page itself had a Permission Priming message.

Password Changed, not yet
After changing my password, this message was displayed.

It is great the system confirmed the password was changed.
Since the expiration time (in the system bar above) has not updated it would be a confusing mismatch so it is really great that the message included this mismatch.

Sorry, something went wrong.
A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation.
If you see them, send them this information as text (screenshots frighten them):

The first checkbox after the form was this:

Auto Save Button
The save function is evolving.
The icon itself is nearly irrelevant. Most children have never seen a 3.5" floppy disk. If you ask a child what the Save icon is they might guess, "A file cabinet?"

Email updates on Zola.com

After completing an order for a friend's wedding gift I am rightly prompted to let them know where I would like my order updates sent.
Of course! Here is my email address.
This is a great moment (per business needs) to grow their promotional email list.
The wording here is key.
Most users will assume the checkbox text "Yes, send me email updates from Zola" is referring to the same thing as above "order updates"

If you are part of the UX community, then you certainly recognize this book cover style.

Perhaps they are being published by O'REALY

YouTube Surveys: Have you heard of Coca-Cola?
This preroll survey on YouTube.com had me cracking up.

Do you think it was paid for by Cide Cola, or Loma Cola?
