Paolo Paolini An infosuasive web application is mainly intended to be at the same time informative and persuasive, i.e., it aims at supporting knowledge needs and it has also the (declared or not declared) goal of influencing user’s opinions, attitudes and behaviors. Most web applications, in fact, are infosuasive (with the exception of those the aim of which is mainly operational). In this paper, we investigate the complex set of elements that inform the very early design of infosuasive web applications. We propose a conceptual framework aimed at supporting the actors involved in this process (strategic decision makers, marketers, business managers, brand designers, communication designers, graphic designers, information architects, technology experts) to integrate their different viewpoints, to organize the variety of issues tha

transmitir al cliente las etapas necesarias en un proyecto al definir una interfaz. Pero a nivel conceptual puede ser demasiada…… Very nice Trevor! I like how you used an object from nature to illustrate the concept, it’s very powerful, and becomes even more powerful the way you expose it in the slides (consider embedding the slides on your blog :). Thanks Victor! I found that illuminating the underwater bits, along with all the connotations of the “Titanic”, made the UX Iceberg highly affective/effective in illustrating this idea. I’ll look into embedding it. Good suggestion… Interesting to see this analogy turn up again. We first used it back in the early 1990s. We published it in the IBM Common User Access books in 1992. The structure was different. We talked about only three parts, visible items, interactions, and the user model.

People read quickly today, like they do everything else. They scan-read emails, websites, newspapers, and magazines. People read particularly quickly on
...
the Web. Most people just look at the first couple of words and only read on if they are engaged by those words, according to Eyetrack III, a fascinating study of how people read on the Web. Web writing is probably one of the most difficult tasks you will face. That s why you need to be armed with the six C s when you sit down to write: Who Cares? Is it Compelling Is it Clear? Is it Complete? Is it Concise? Is it Correct? Who cares? What does your customer really care about? People are too overloaded with information today to waste time on things they don t care about. Don t fall into the trap of assuming that, just because you passionately care about something, your customer will. This is one of the biggest mistakes you can make. Sometimes what you care about can stop you seeing what your customers care about. Every time there is a su

Information Architecture Institute 2008 Salary Survey Results Source: CMSWire, 20 January 2009 Submitted by Joanna Bawa By Marisa Peacock Tis the season
...
for breaking resolutions, so it strikes us as fitting that it's also that time for the Information Architecture Institute's (IAI) annual salary survey results. If you recall, last year's survey revealed a minimal decrease in the pay gap between men and women and a slight increase of female info architects in the biz. The annual survey collects data about salary as well as age, gender, educational level, job title, annual increase, hours worked, job tasks, vacation, holidays and benefits, attrition, size of company, and geographic area. SALARY INCREASES This year, despite an economic downturn, mean salaries are up US$ 10,800 from last year to US$ 96,800. Among the 414 respondents, 50.8% were women and 49.2 were men. Women also continued their slight lead in salary over men, with an average salary of US$ 97,500 for females and US$ 96,200

code "rww1" will get RWW readers $200 off of the early bird price. Highlights from Defrag this year will include a discussion about Strategic Intuition, a presentation from Esther Dyson called 'The Quantification of Everything', a discussion about whether collaboration is changing how we consume and interact with analysis, and much more. Sorry you're not seeing this cartoon earlier, but I had to update my Facebook status, upload and tag my Flickr photos from yesterday, answer three LinkedIn questions and stay on top of my Twitter feed. There's something seductive about the social web, and the way it drives us to be always updating, always staying on top of our friends' updates, and always painfully aware that we could and should be doing more. I'd discuss more, but I need to go join a Seesmic chat... Do you remember what was happening

do not represent a scientific appraisal of the site. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has announced a new standard to make sites more accessible to older and disabled people. Version 2.0 of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) will apply to text, images, audio and video. It also covers web applications and is said to give developers more flexibility than the old guidelines. According to the consortium, WCAG 2.0 should also be easier to understand and use. The guidance is designed to address barriers encountered by people with visual, hearing, physical, cognitive and neurological disabilities and older people with access needs. WCAG 2.0 explains how to make content: Perceivable - including descriptive text for images, audio captions, flexibility of layout and colour contrast Operable - making sites usable with keyboards an
