(Apologies for crosspost)
Hi all,
Google's slowly rolling out a rather drastic redesign. I wrote a little
review (you can try it out yourself following the instructions) and would
love to hear thoughts on it.

In Belgium/Dutch, it's generally and colloquially called a "GSM" (not mobile
or cell). More official wording might be "mobiele telefoon" - I should check
on various websites.

fully to be honest. Other groups haven't done so well
- "Knowledge management" comes to mind - who calls themselves that anymore?

Can everyone who doesn't care about the specific title stand on the right,
and everyone who wants to define "Interaction design" stand on the left?
Thanks!

"Interaction design" is a useful fuzzy abstraction, much like "Information
Architecture" or even "Design". Useful in the sense that:
- it allows people who do somewhat overlapping similar stuff to get
together around this title and discuss things, ie. it allows groups to form.
- it allows

Of course, I don't think anyone would argue that you place the

That's a false argument, because you're saying that designers should then be
trusted to know what they know and know what they don't know.

We agree then. My point is not that we don't need design. My point is that
design should be humble and listen to data.

In any case, data driven design doesn't mean there's no place for the
designer. Who else will come up with stuff that we can then measure?

So your point is that Wordpress has a better user experience, so we should
use it, even though the other products have more features?
Sounds fair enough, if WP actually does what we want it to do.

If the 2 versus 4 pixels thing is on a crucial page like the Google search
results or list of adsense ads, surely it's a MUST to test it and let the
data speak? No? or would you redesign the ads, see revenue go down and not
change your mind?

So if the data tells you something and you ignore it, is that "design"?

Those are some of the best strategy questions I've ever heard. We tend to
work from product idea on, not from strategy. I do think at least a vague
understanding of strategy is important for designers. The problem of course,
is that strategy is such a wide encompassing topic.
