Are you familiar with how your users "perceive" your application or service? Do you celebrate with them when they've hit an important milestone? Adding delight and emotion to your application can have a profoundly positive impact on the user experience, create 'tweetable moments' and turn customers into evangelists. In this talk, learn how we at Google use the concept of "Engineering Emotions" to drive customer delight and evangelism especially in areas where emotion is notably absent e.g., developer tools.
