(Given at Google campus for IxDA, Microsoft campus in Redmond to UX team, Ruby Meetup Group at CMU/Moffett Field & The Ajax Experience 2009. Will be giving again in Florida at Rich Web Experience.) Did you know that there are at least 16 different moments of interaction during drag and drop? And that there are at least a half-dozen elements on the page that conspire with these points in time to form a drag and drop interaction? With almost all user interactions there are lots of interesting moments that you can use to enhance the user experience -- or worse to create confusion in the user’s mind. In this talk, Bill slows down time and puts dozens of interactions under the microscope to study what works and what doesn’t work when creating interactive applications. Nuances from 80+ examples illustrate both what should be emulated (design patterns and best practice tips) as well as what should be avoided (design anti-patterns). These are conveniently summarized in six over-arching design... - × × ×

"One of the magazine’s problems online is a page-view mix that tilts heavily to slide shows—45 percent—with only 16 percent of pageviews for the 1H09 going to original stories. The memo also says BW’s online ad sales are down by half from 79 percent in 2006. CPMs are down too." - × × ×

“lliance Health owns DiabeticConnect.com, which it says is the largest social network for people with diabetes. The site had almost 900,000 unique users last month, according to Compete. New cash will be used to build additional social networks for other diseases. The company will have now raised $6.6 million since its start in 2006.” - × × ×

Да, наконец-то кто-то привычную тройку «география — специализация — масштаб» переложил под рейтинг. А я по ссылкам с ziik.ru за пару часов посмотрел больше хороших студий, чем за последний год. Уже за одно это спасибо. - × × ×

Мне вот кажется мутной система с городами. Сверху пишут «удаленного специалиста», снизу предлагают выбрать город. И у меня такое чувство, что если я у себя в профиле там напишу Питер, а не Москву, на меня никто никогда не выйдет, потому что действительно удаленного специалиста будут искать в первой выдаче, а это Москва. - Adoration of the Magi

“Over time we hit some obstacles for PMOG: * Too much reliance on user-generated game events. "Welcome to PMOG: your goal is to do X or become Y" would have helped more people understand the game. * The name "PMOG" was tough to swallow, and it didn't describe an exciting game world. We changed the name in March 2009 to "The Nethernet." The new identity energized our product but it was late in the product cycle. * We built our own social networking and messaging technologies. Expanding and maintaining those frameworks took up a lot of time, and newer projects were making use of existing social networks like Facebook and Twitter to keep their costs down. * We introduced micropayments and revenue streams late. * Unlikely platform. We thought we were badass, breaking new ground by making a rich MMO in a Firefox extension. No one visits Mozilla and searches for games to download.” - × × ×

“reCAPTCHA’s unique technology improves the process that converts scanned images into plain text, known as Optical Character Recognition (OCR). This technology also powers large scale text scanning projects like Google Books and Google News Archive Search. Having the text version of documents is important because plain text can be searched, easily rendered on mobile devices and displayed to visually impaired users. So we'll be applying the technology within Google not only to increase fraud and spam protection for Google products but also to improve our books and newspaper scanning process.” - × × ×

“We tried to approach this design problem pragmatically, being as realistic as we could about the design decisions we made — as realistic as one can be with only a superficial understanding of the constraints, of course. Any truly serious redesign of Craigslist would inherently look very different from what we produced, and we kept that in mind from the very beginning. And, yes we took some artistic license, too, which is why it’s probably more accurate to call this a re-imagining than a redesign.” - × × ×
