Agreed. I rarely do IA work, and although I do take on that role on occasion, I wouldn't dare call myself an IA. Christina Wodtke all but demolishes the distinction between IA and IxD in her book, *Information Architecture*, but it's unsettling to me. On the web, maybe those lines blur a lot more than in other types of design, but my specialty has always been in *designing **interaction*, not architecting information. There is definitely a difference. I design how people will interact with web products and services based on an understanding of why they might do so. Information is certainly part of that, but I'm less concerned with the information than how people will encounter it in the context of some interactive experience. -r- ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
