instance, I love it on www.flickriver.com, where I can browse endlessly
through photos, but I wouldn't like it as default Google behaviour. I'm not
quite sure why that is.. I can think of two possibilities:

You do have to manage your own server, but it's not hard if you have someone
with some linux experience, and it gives you flexibility to run whatever you
want on it.
Software always gets designed by someone, whether it's a manager, or
programmer or whoever - the question is do they have the skills and time to
do it?

interface design is a luxury given that it often gets too small

It seems to me that if a programmer is left to the ui, they do design it -
they think about where to put things, etc, and they have different
priorities. That's why some software ends up complex, and has unfriendly
error-handling for instance. Because programmers can get their heads around

sorry, I totally agree - programmers can create non-complex interfaces, and
I concur with your individual/discipline comment.
my point was simply that someone always does design (think about and plan)
the system, and they're not always the right person for the job. Just one
symptom of this could
If your site structure is well thought out and not too complex, I think it
can be helpful to display it to the user through breadcrumbs, especially if
they spend a lot of time in the system and it would benefit them to learn
the structure.

It's a lot of information to put in for something a new user knows very
little about. New experiences generally need either a very low barrier to
entry, or recommendations from others in the industry/friends etc.

Hullo all,
I'm thinking of giving a talk at UX Camp London (http://uxcamplondon.org/)
on Saturday about text interfaces. It seems to me that guis get a lot of
attention, but there's a lot of interesting stuff happening with text.
Some examples I was going to talk about:
Ubiquity
I think the biggest problem is size. People want phones on them at all
times, so they need to be pocketable. At that size you're not going to get
more than a 'thumb' keyboard, like the G1 or Blackberry. Such keyboards are
fine for the odd email or text, but they don't cut it when it comes to
Interesting project - as Adrian said, it would be useful to get more
information.
One of the easiest ways might be to use Flash - it has a straightforward
drawing api, and can read XML files as input. The output could be made
interactive very easily.
An interesting new option would be to use

I find it distracting and I don't see much benefit for myself as an

why put in the effort to improve it?

I've had a pretty bad time with 11 in the uk - don't know if the American
version is different.
Their control panel is very hard to use, and billing is very confusing (they
use contract numbers all the time rather than useful references like domain
names). It's also hard to cancel and move away -
No worries :) I'd have to admit that Dreamhost performance can be a bit

Hi,
I was just reading PC Pro's review of the BBC iPlayer:
http://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/125311/bbc-iplayer.html#
It reminded me how awful the interface was. I don't know if there have been
any discussions so far about iPlayer, or similar services (4oD is not much
better) - but it seems to
Another good article:

Seems awful that a public service broadcaster should produce such a badly
designed service that only works with Windows XP..
