that someone does or does not know *what* they're doing. Many products

I *love* the seatbelt analogy, Jeff. So often we as interaction
designers get caught up in designing to reflect or incent usage
patterns, and forget the importance of communicating brand image - such
as trust and confidence - through design elements.

In addition to your suggestion about the wordy tooltip, one often overlooked
area of online help in traditional software is information not only about what
a field or UI element DOES, but also how to find it and how to enable it.

but not in the current context.
Hide options that are never available to a particular user.
The latter point is important when considering features to which not all user
roles have access. Leaving those showing but disabled can be frustrating.

Welcome to the Interaction Design
a visual indicator among the cluster, which, on
mouseover, presents a small pop-up panel with just the clustered area zoomed in
for better visual discernment and selection? So that the indicators don't add
too much noise, they can be dim and then grow brighter when the pointer gets
close.

How about a non-standard, multiline tooltip? Same simple presentation
as the standard tooltip, showing on mouseover with a reasonable
delay. See, for example, the way news story abstracts display upon
rollover of the headline in the CNN news gadget:
Outstanding post, Jared. I particularly applaud your characterization
of personas, their role in guiding UCD (and distinguishing it from
ACD), and the need to focus on qualities that actually impact design.
That for me is the key to crafting a set of personas - to create as
FEW personas as is
I had a very similar problem to solve in a recent B-to-B e-commerce
project for a different industry (HVAC parts ordering). Input and
feedback I got from users led me to conclude that they are happy to
log in to see their discounted pricing. They prefer this to not
knowing the price until they add
Neil, with respect to testimonials on business impact, the Neilsen
Norman reports suggested by Angel's earlier post is a good start.
With respect to quantitative ROI of community features, however, I
would be surprised if there is any decent numbers out there that you

I can't reference research to support this - and I'm not a guru -
but I am a strong proponent of the principal that content should live
in only one location, as represented in the breadcrumbs and other
primary navigational mechanisms. Convenient links can and should be
located wherever this
Irrespective of the clean design and professional look of version 3,
the photos create an emotional connection that strongly trumps the

Dave asks, ...how often do you find yourself collaborating on group
work in your specific role as an IxD or UX designers?
Here's one data point: Over the past 20 years, in the role of IxD or
UX design, I'd estimate that somewhere around 50% of the projects
I've worked on were collaborative with
A few days ago I posted a question about existing materials out there on portal
design (http://www.ixda.org/discuss.php?post=47358#47358). I'm very surprised
that there was no response. I'm starting a new thread rather than posting a
second item to the same thread to ask a closely related
Thanks for the case studies, Paul. My experience is similar to yours -
nothing will trump the importance of user research and other discovery
and user-centered activities to shape the needs of the portal solution
to the specific organization.
Still, do you not find repeating patterns among these
Thanks to all for the additional comments and links.
Chris, your suggestion to emphasize practical guidelines make good
sense; I am perhaps using the term best practices too loosely in
this thread.

John, thanks for
I am also a supporter of the guideline of graying out any fields or
controls that are not available in the current context, but can be
made available to the user by shifting the context. Among other
reasons stated above, another advantage is that tooltips can be
displayed on the inactive fields or
