Feature Assassins

It's time to slim down our Web and mobile apps. Some features only clutter the interface, distract our users and waste our precious time. The only problem: Which ones can be removed? How do you decide whether a feature brings real value? You want your products to be sharp, agile, and powerful, but you won't make it if you still carry the weight of the past.
