Did you encounter a great online tutorial lately? Did it have good user

The tick marks/spark lines are not the filter but rather a "result

Hi,
Has anyone came across some research based guidelines for IA and

For one project I need to justify design with the help of some
research. (Design is in the inital phase where we are finalizing
layouts, navigation structure, etc)
Thanks in advance.

I would call the tick marks on the LG site more of a label or marker than a
filter. For a filter you'd need more multi-variant data so that you could
apply filters to the sparklines. Tufte has got a couple of examples of what

Greg Petroff is talking about the subtle "tick marks" above the

Vishal, I love michael's blog, but it is a singular voice, unlike
Core77 or JohnnyHolland.
the honest answer is that there is no single voice of our community

Any good examples out there of sparkline filtering? I pitched this
concept to Delta 4 years ago and it did not go anywhere. I had yet to
see it until this morning looking for a new refrigerator on the LG

It's an interesting point, I have no idea why they designed it like that,
maybe just an oversight?

I like the sites that give you a button at the bottom to add content
on click (like Facebook). Automatic perpetual scrolling introduces
several glitchy usability issues in some browsers. While using a
