Re: [IxDA Discuss] Browser tabs as application navigation
My main concern would be the users using older browsers that don't have multiple tabs... how would you deal with this, launch a new browser window? Unless you have a captive audience and can ensure they're using firefox or IE 7, you might want to rethink this.

My company is considering this as a solution for complex data management applications, where the user needs to open and work with multiple records at once. The plan is that the initial page (on tab 1) would contain the main navigation, including the search function. When the user selects a data record from the result list, it is opened into a new tab. The user can keep returning to the initial tab, where the result list is, and open additional records into new tabs. The data record tabs would not include application navigation, so the user would need to navigate back to tab 1 to initiate a new task. I'm curious as to what others think about this solution.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Is Eye Tracking too expensive or complicated?
At the Information Architecture conference in Miami last week, Jared Spool imparted that eye tracking is just fluff to get the executives excited about UCD he doesn't value it as a science beyond the obvious. We already know that people don't look at advertisements and avoid certain areas of the page. While it will look good on a resume to have the experience, I tend to agree with Jared.

I really have no experience with it, but am going to be working with it this summer so looking for thoughts from some of you more experienced with usability testing and eye tracking. I think for me it's been cost and lack of knowledge/acccess that's kept me away from it in the past. Cheers! -- André Charland President and Co-Founder, Nitobi e.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] biz dev
I yell "OUT OF SCOPE" and run away. :-) Seriously though, the process changes based on the importance (cost) of the project. For low-cost projects, I will gather everyone in a room for a few hours, brainstorm, write on the whiteboard until we have our first design - very collaborative, very little research. For high-cost projects it is much more formal. BA delivers requirements, I create UI Design spec, we meet with project sponsors, make changes, we meet with product, make changes... it's very iterative. UI design starts with requirements, fleshes out during design, changes again after usability testing, then there's performance testing that can further change design. There is usually ample time for research on a high-cost project. Do I get enough input? Having a dedicated business analyst and engaged project sponsors helps tremendously.

Those are the people, sometimes in marketing, bizdev (obviously) and sometimes in product, that come up with great ideas that they want to flush out. Is this a collaborative process - or is it more waterfall.? Do you get enough input? Is there research done?

[IxDA Discuss] Gadgets are great... if your customers can figure them out.
Here's a good article from The Consumerist... it states that consumers often return electronic gadgets under the assumption that they don't work, when in fact, they just can't figure out how they work to the tune of $14 billion per year. It just gets easier and easier to find work ;) http://consumerist.com/342403/gadgets-are-great-if-your-customers-can-figure-them-out Susan Patrick User Interface Designer The Midland Company - CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT: This e-mail transmission contains information that is intended to be confidential.
