Symptoms Of An Epidemic: Web Design Trends

At the end of the day, design is not so much about style as it is about communication, and all style, imagery and typography should be inspired by the content, functionality and personality of the product, not by what simply looks cool at the moment.

The Problem with Data Driven Decisions

Comments are also worthwhile. I mean,

It reminds me of road safety: we can measure speed, so we enforce speed limits. But we can’t measure, and therefore rarely punish, stupidity and dangerous driving.

Putting on a big grin here. :D

The Art of the UX Steal

If Dante were writing today, the 9th circle of Hell would have involved trying to sign into multiple Google accounts at once. True story.

A friend of mine decided to make me angry the other day, so he showed me a Google docs screen where the Save button was so cleverly hidden it took him several minutes to locate it. This was on a screen that had maybe four elements, and he’s a very senior software engineer, so this probably wasn’t user error. I find the usability on certain Google products almost sadistically poor.

But I put up with it because Google provides me with incredible value for free that I can’t get anywhere else even by paying for it.

I don’t use things like Google docs for their UX. In fact, I use them in spite of large portions of their UX. And if your UX borrows from Google through some misguided notion that just because Google does it, it must be right, I will quit your product in a freaking heartbeat and bad mouth it to all my friends.

The moral of this story isn’t just “don’t steal UX from Google,” although that’s not bad advice. The moral is that very few companies succeed in spite of their UX, and if you happen to steal UX from them, you’re doing it wrong.

On a side note, you know what had a fabulous UX? The original Google product - the one where there was just a single search box, two buttons, and a hugely successful algorithm for finding great results. Unsurprisingly, that’s the UX that got us all hooked in the first place.

Also, the comment made my day. I don’t think I ever managed to post a comment on any of my friends’ blogs on blogspot using my wordpress profile (error!), have always had to use either the google account or open ID — annoying! Oh, and do I dislike new gmail’s left hand navigation or what!!!
