Usability guru, Jared Spool, recently published an article on Five Usability Challenges of Web-Based Applications . He cited Facebook's Beacon debacle where users are able to find out what their friends are up to. Usability Challenge #1: Scalability The number of users affected and the amount of information thrown at users are issues. Designers need to take both the scale of the user base and the scale of the data into account when thinking about how to design their web-based applications effectively. A contributor to Facebook s mini-feed debacle was the scale of their design. Facebook, making any change to their site, instantly affects eight million people. If even one percent has issues w...

Three Pillars of Usability Creating a usable product is one of the most important things you can do. Where would Apple's iPhone be if it wasn't because it was so damn usable? But many products have a kind of hit-and-miss approach. There is no overall plan; usability is done in areas that seem right at any given moment. This is a shame because you can create much better products if you just used what I call; the ' Three Pillars of Usability ' - which is: Get the job done Make it efficient Make it personal This is how it works. Welcome to the world of games A usable product is one that people can use without thinking about it. We want people to focus on the job, not the tool (the software). B...

Well what to do -To Spice up your site's usability Here are some of the tips for the following :- We've always really prided ourselves on building sites that are 'usable.' If a user can get through a site unobstructed from Point A to our goal page, then we've done a good job. When I get into new business meetings, it is invariable that the prospect will ask how familiar we are with the 'best practices' in their industry. What have we done for someone who looks like them? Most often, we find a relevant example that proves our knowledge of the space, our knowledge of best practices and, ultimately, our ability to build usable sites. I believe that is a problem. Those three things combined, ...

Want to learn how to create an iPhone app? Later this week, aspiring app creators will be able to start watching a popular Stanford computer science course on developing iPhone apps right on their iPhones. Stanford will start distributing the course for free as a video podcast through iTunes U . (The podcasts can also be watched on iPods and computers, obviously). With more than 25,000 apps out there, which have been downloaded more than 800 million times , the competition is fierce for making the best apps. Apple itself provides a wealth of information for developers about its SDK, but for those who need a little more guidance or a refresher in the basics, watching these videos is like con...

Usability is one of the key terms that are widely used in web design. In many respects, it is the most important and vital aspect of any web design. Why Usability is so important? It’s a very normal tendency that if an online web surfer visit your website but find it difficult to use then he or she may leave and never become customers. In fact, it’s very important to understand that web design must give its visitors freedom and choice to surf it properly. A good web design is not just about a website looking cool and flamboyant. It has more got to do with its role i.e. the website must be able communicate its goal with as little effort as possible on the part of the user. Moreover, if the s...

Thanks for this insight and with the rapid development of new user interface technologies, with Web 2.0 and others, it is very tempting to claim that there's a lot more to good design than simply applying standards. Although this is certainly the...

First an interesting fact : Youtube,before it became so famous video sharing platform was actually a dating site! When we post videos on youtube some of them are a bit shaky and give the viewers a hard time. Youtube has found an answer to this and now they can fix it for us. The article I read about this goes something like this : I've never heard of diseases called "shaky-camera-itis" or "augmented-darkness-levels” before, but apparently they affect (and infect ) many YouTube videos. Fortunately the video-hosting service now offers an automated tool which'll easily rid clips of those pesky issues. According to John Gregg, a YouTube software engineer, the feature is part of the YouTube Video Editor tool. It's there to detect shaky or dark videos and it'll automatically offer to fix things for you: When you upload a video that could use a fixup, you’ll see a notification bar on the Upload page and in your Video Manager. Click the button to fix it, and you’ll see a side by side...

Social networking keeps on going crazy and many of us have managed to be online almost 24X7! Sharing on facebook, twitter or other places is fun for some and style for others and foe few of us it has become the way of life. This has brought the need for Smartphones and many of us in love with touch screens. iPhone and iPads are sold like crazy and so there are tons of apps available everywhere to do various things. I recently found this app which says " Walk Type Share "..At first I was like everyone does that then what is new in the app??!! It says "Walk Type Share is a messaging social networking application for iPhone and iPad to text message while walking and share through SMS, Facebook, Twitter, email and group messaging, using transparent keyboard with live camera background." I am not sure how is it good for us.. but new apps are worth a shot aren't they?? Whats your take on new apps coming up everyday..which ones do you recommend??
