Products fail us every day. For some reason, though, we tend to blame ourselves for those failures-for our inability to perform adequately, our lack of understanding, and, sometimes, our unsafe practice. A product's physical/visual form needs to communicate to the user on an immediate and intuitive level what the product's purpose is and how it should be used. Without this communication, a gulf or disconnect can develop between what a user is trying to do (his intent) to do and what he actually does (his action) [...] Mark Baskinger, UX Magazine (2010-03-22) 2010-03-26T18:00:00+01:00 http://uxmag.com/features/connectile-dysfunction 634E6911-D813-4F6F-B8BA-20DC91EF744D Web users spend 80% of their time looking at information above the page fold. Although users do scroll, they allocate only 20% of their attention below the fold [...] Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox (2010-03-22) 2010-03-26T18:00:00+01:00 http://www.useit.com/alertbox/scrolling-attention.html 23567B15-3955-47FC-A63C-36CF303B148F Eye tracking has recently been debated on many fronts, with a particular focus on the ways people misuse it, and how some use eye tracking only as a way to "wow" clients. In our experience, however, it's invaluable in bringing to light key findings that are otherwise unattainable through other user testing methods [...] James Breeze, UX Magazine (2010-03-19) 2010-03-26T18:00:00+01:00 http://uxmag.com/technology/eye-tracking-the-best-way-to-test-rich-app-usability EE07A7F4-0DC3-41D9-83DF-33EF194D1F4E In my Modern Web Form Design presentation at Microsoft's MIX10 conference I outlined rich interactions that can enhance Web forms and mobile form design considerations [...] Luke Wroblewski, LukeW (2010-03-19) 2010-03-26T18:00:00+01:00 http://www.lukew.com/ff/entry.asp?1029 2A936C38-C918-4499-9DDE-7EDB3C27315C Mobile forms tend to have significantly more constraints than their desktop cousins: screens are smaller; connections are slower; text entry is trickier; the list goes on. So, limiting the number of forms in your mobile applications and websites is generally a good idea. When you do want input from users on mobile devices, radio buttons, checkboxes, select menus and lists tend to work much better than open text fields [...] Luke Wroblewski, Smashing Magazine (2010-03-11) 2010-03-26T18:00:00+01:00 http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/03/11/forms-on-mobile-devices-modern-solutions/ 8CD55E38-0074-4131-90DB-584644A44B81 Trust me, no one likes filling in forms -especially on mobile devices where one-handed, on-the-go data input and slow connections are common place. As a result, designing forms that make mobile input faster, easier, and less error-prone is crucial. Here's a few ways it can be done [...] Luke Wroblewski, LukeW (2010-03-09) 2010-03-26T18:00:00+01:00 http://www.lukew.com/ff/entry.asp?1014 9C1A12C9-4730-4061-ACE9-C12867B0EF70 Users overlook features if the GUI elements - such as buttons and checkboxes - are too far away from the objects they act on [...] Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox (2010-03-08) 2010-03-26T18:00:00+01:00 http://www.useit.com/alertbox/action-object-closeness.html C1E06CEA-37E7-4CBA-B386-0C04E56E9B91 Thinking of porting your Web finding experience to iPhone, Android, or Windows Mobile? Just forget about the fact that these devices are basically full-featured computers with tiny screens. Having gone through this design exercise a few times, I have realized that designing a great mobile finding experience requires a way of thinking that is quite different from our typical approach to designing search for Web or desktop applications [...] Greg Nudelman, UXmatters (2010-03-08) 2010-03-26T18:00:00+01:00 http://www.uxmatters.com/mt/archives/2010/03/designing-mobile-search-turning-limitations-into-opportunities.php 2EA70F69-2E78-47D3-B1AC-CB4D509357DD Usability testing is one of the least glamorous, but most important aspects of user experience research. Over the years, it has also been one of the forms of user research we have performed most frequently. In doing so, we've learned quite a few best practices and encountered some potential pitfalls [...] Demetrius Madrigal and Bryan McClain, UXmatters (2010-03-08) 2010-03-26T18:00:00+01:00 http://www.uxmatters.com/mt/archives/2010/03/dos-and-donts-of-usability-testing.php 50B7B0BD-387C-43A5-BD53-D89FDB7D361E Check out this excellent article by Janko: Ultimate guide to table UI patterns.

Focus on user-research to find out what people need/want. The downside of this "user testing" model is that users can lead you astray [...] Luke Wroblewski, LukeW (2010-03-02) 2010-03-26T18:00:00+01:00 http://www.lukew.com/ff/entry.asp?1010 F841E6AC-F401-42C6-8F73-0A70E056663C Web design is a relatively young field. It's youthful, growing and made up of people from all kinds of backgrounds, many of whom lack formal design training. We have learned, and still are learning, as we go [...] D.

If the users don't like the changes, they form protest groups... how can a team operate under such a public microscope?
