Re: [IxDA Discuss] drop down samples
I'd be interested to hear of examples or ideas like that as well. I think the best improvement I've seen is to disable scrolling after a user clicks an item from the dropdown. Since focus remains on the dropdown, scrolling often becomes a problem, especially for web pages / apps, since scrolling is generally required on most web sites. It's pretty annoying to have the dropdown change after you make your selection because you needed to scroll back up to some other control or to the top level nav, etc. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Bill Moggridge says IxD is over. ; -) (not really, but its nice and provocative)
I posted a response here: http://www.ghostinthepixel.com/?p=216 Basically: As long as there are technologies that shape human attitudes behaviors perceptions, there will be a need for someone to make them intuitively simple, emotionally appealing, and behaviorally engaging. I think interaction design (or synonymous verbiage: UI or UX, etc) is still needed for the unique confluence of skills/abilities/craft and perspectives/methods/principles offered. There is a focus reaching beyond ID or GD, per Buchanan's Four Orders Model. As a discipline it's still valued, insofar as business tech/engin leaders recognize its continued value...as well as other designers! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[IxDA Discuss] [EVENT] UX Book Club Boston (with Steve Krug) - May 6th
Hi everyone, Long time lurker, first time poster. I started a branch of the UX Book Club (http://uxbookclub.org) here in Boston (more info: http://uxboston.com) a few months back. Our 2nd meeting is this coming Wednesday, May 6th @ 7PM at Betahouse (http://betahouse.org). We're reading Don't Make Me Think by Steve Krug. Best part is, Steve has agreed to come. Please RSVP at the Yahoo! Upcoming page, because space is limited to 20-30: http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/2512056 If you can't make it, you can follow http://twitter.com/uxboston for live tweets during the event. I'll hopefully have a few copies of Subject to Change to raffle off, which will be the next book we read and discuss for the month of June. (Pardon the late notification, but I just arranged this event this week. I'm spontaneous like that. You'll get used to it. ;) Thanks, Jason Robb ja...@jasonrobb.com http://twitter.com/jasonrobb http://jasonrobb.com http://uxboston.com Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!

[IxDA Discuss] JOB: User Interface / Interaction Designer, Columbus, Ohio
User Interface / Interaction Designer in the Columbus area We need another interaction designer to help shape user experience for a high-volume B2B information site. We operate really big database / search platforms for several well-known business publishers, but this job is focused on our own flagship business information site which averages about a million page views a day. Our worldwide user base is growing steadily and the user interface has to keep up with continuous product evolution--including newly introduced social networking features. Candidates should have: - strong interaction design skills and familiarity with common design patterns - empathy for the end user (once you know who they are) - great visual, verbal and written communication skills - proficiency with wireframing software (we use Omnigraffle mostly, but if you know about something we don't...) - 3-5 years experience working on web-based interfaces - a healthy respect for process in a fast-moving, measurement-driven business environment - a mature view of what makes interface design worth doing Not required, but the following are definite advantages: - an understanding of social software concepts - graphic design skills (and relevant software proficiency) - CSS and html knowledge (mostly for prototyping) The right designer will thrive on collaboration with other user experience team folks. Together you'll drive user engagement strategy, IA, UI and graphic design. The small UX team works closely with product management, search analytics and software development teams in a seriously fast, innovative environment. High traffic volume means almost instant feedback, so continually testing new ideas is truly a way of life. You'll need to work at our location in Columbus, but all 40 of us are pretty easy to live with (except for Owen). What it might be like: You'll start with a new idea, goal or function along with some specific constraints and usually an aggressive timeframe. Your job will be to identify implications and opportunities for the user, communicate the user flows that your design will address, design interactions/screens as wireframes with more specificity as you get feedback, and work with graphic design and then development to bring the new feature to life. Youâll be working for users all the while (though we'll still sign your paychecks) and then evolving things based on what you learn from traffic and behavior -- making things better and better. If you're good and smart and up to the task, we'd love to have you. Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!

[IxDA Discuss] Any IVR experts in the house?

[IxDA Discuss] Decentralized Decision Authority
I have been doing some thinking about how design decisions get made, both at my company and at others. For the most part, we have a hybrid (somewhat centralized, somewhat not) authority for making design decisions: there is one team responsible for them all, but the team members are assigned to other cross-functional teams. I've been doing some brainstorming about whether it would be appropriate to have a much more decentralized decision authority for design decisions. I have reasons for exploring whether a decentralized decision authority makes sense. It seems like a decentralized authority comes hand-in-hand with other aspects of an organic organizational structure. An organic structure gives things like increased collaboration, more adaptable duties, low formalization of processes, and increased communication in multiple directions (e.g. not just down the organization chart). (I got this information from Stephen Robbins' Organizational Behavior ... a great book.) I'm interested in an organic structure because Robbins argues that such a structure is more conducive to supporting a strategy of innovation and for dealing with non-routine, ill-defined work, which in my experience, defines design work well. If you made it this far, I have some questions I hope you can help with: If you've worked in an organization that decentralized design decisions, what worked well and what didn't? What did you (or your organization do) to make the organic structure successful? What challenges did you face in the organic structure, and what did you do to manage those challenges? Thanks!

[IxDA Discuss] Number of results displayed per page on mobile device
Has anyone come across an example of search results which aren't based on the base-10 method of displaying results per page? For example, I've got a situation where a legacy product is currently displaying 9 results per page and the reasons I've gathered are: 1) Each result is associated with a number on the keypad (press 1 to go to 1st result on the page, 2 for the 2nd result, etc.), but the number 0 is being reserved as a keypad shortcut for another function. 2) Businesses make up the core of our search and they don't want to be associated with 0 even though they're displayed as 10. (I've been told they did testing on this, but haven't been given anything to prove this other than someone's word.) My initial thoughts are that sticking with a standard view results 1 - 10 would override these, but only for consistency and the fact that results 1-9, 10-18, 19-27, etc. looks pretty strange. It might be something which causes the user to take pause as to why this is occurring. But I don't feel that's really presenting a strong case against the existing design. Hope this makes sense.

Would businesses object to that? A star is special treatment :). Off the top of my head I recall seeing use of the asterisk as an accelerator in options menus in the Gmail mobile app. The * mapped nicely to their concept of starring messages in that case.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Bill Moggridge says IxD is over. ; -) (not really, but its nice and provocative)
Bill Mogridge says IXD is over. I feel not. I do ethnography studies in rural parts of India where i see huge need of good interaction design. People dont know how to save contacts, not even how to see a last dialed number, checking messages (even if they are using mobile for more than 2 years), then how can we say IXD is over. Bill Mogridge says, it was necessary at the time to define it as a discipline because software was so new and no one knew how to design it. People do not even know what is internet, computer etc. We are still struggling to design for these people, who do not know technology/design, but technology/design can change their lives at certain extent. We are still struggling to make a good design to help them to complete atleast some basic tasks (like saving a contact no.) I respect Bill (i love his book also), but I feel it is a long run for IXD to get over till these critical issues are not solved. Cheers!!
