- 1 [Sigia-l] what are best practices (was OT: Library Thing) (Re) -- rank: 1000
- ..| Our definitions are the main source of disagreement. ..| I defined best practices as guidelines. You defined ..| them as rules. These are incompatible definitions. It probably no mistake that this thread was OT: Library Thing when we get mired in 'definitions' and 'labels' and produce more concern for the sticker-on-the-book, or the book-cover itself, often times the very author, and forget, deliberately, about the entire content as if it were tertiary or worse... It's quick-'n-easy to toss everything into a subject-bin and ..| the [best practice] document is not the problem. ..| The problem is how people interpret ...

- 2 [Sigia-l] what are best practices (was OT: Library Thing) (Re) -- rank: 1000
- ..| If you're not designing, you are not creating ..| the best and the most competitive value ..| that you can I am very suspicious of this word/activity 'design'. Design is resolution and itself smacks of cookie-cutter flavor. Tell me why design isn't decontextualized problem solving. At best (to use a word) you have to cycle it through a 1-2-3 process that's very linear because it sees only one end -- the 'design'. On the other hand, there is no such thing as re-management. ---- Derek Rogerson - Start where you are. ------------ When replying, please *trim your post* as much ...

- 3 [Sigia-l] what are best practices (was OT: Library Thing) (Re) -- rank: 1000
- Listera: ..| ? ? ? ? :-) Your non-response is not very helpful. Why is design/Design (with or without initial cap) in your view a panacea? Why resolve/limit yourself to the same cookie-cutter? What is it about design, in your view, which avoids patterns of decontextualized problem-solving? What if your always designing in the same way, or using the same process? We can talk about Dr. Nielsen as a meme-peddler but how are you not doing the same :-) :-) ? Why should we believe your arrogantly confident predictions (that design is king)? I think value-creation does not hinge on design ...

- 5 [Sigia-l] "Who Really Turns Off JavaScript?" (Re) -- rank: 1000
- Listera wrote: ..| Being aware of technology/implementation . | issues doesn't cripple your conceptual creativity, ..| it merely frees you of the burden of constant ..| uncertainty Well, of course, this is only a half-truth and probably untrue. Awareness of the technology and implementation issues does, for most people, severely cripple their conceptual creativity simply because they become technically aware, think technically, and have a grasp of technical limitations. In short, they become designers and thereafter are obsessed with the material aspects of things. It is safe to say that the user does not know how certain things 'technically' work neither ...

- 6 [Sigia-l] My take on MySpace (Re) -- rank: 1000
- It works for the same reason blogs work, but you don't have to blog (ie. just put up funky pictures of yourself and friends; your latest mind-bending mp3 or video) and you don't have to associate yourself with the 'blogosphere' neither do you have to put up with snobby geeks telling you what you should be doing on your blog, or how you should be doing it (blogs in general are all about "have to's", authority, authority figures, have to's, folksonomy, etc.). In a few words: it is *my* space. Be Well, Derek Global Ad Agency BKK "This would be a ...

- 7 [Sigia-l] Being considerate of others (Off Topic Posts) (Re) -- rank: 1000
- Lyle Kantrovich: ..| IA is the subject that made this list, ..| and is why people participate My idea of IA is wildly different than your idea. If you want to be subservient to a particular dogma, there are lots of false gods out there for you to worship and suck-up-to. My advice is to start getting up off your knees and 'participating' in the true sense of that word, instead of groveling about for a despot. Be Well, Derek btw: I have happily filtered 'ziya' for years deleting everything that's *not* from 'listera_at_rcn.com' (+ a few others ;-) --------- Start ...

- 9 [Sigia-l] Card sorting (Re) -- rank: 1000
- Card-sorting is about as useful as sorting cards. I'd like to get paid to play bridge, or even gin rummy. Categories still remain an *entry-level* way of organizing information and there are a great many books out there that address this and other elementary approaches to information and interaction. --------- Derek "Let every sheep keep its skin." www.info-arch.org/lists/sigia-l/0305/date.html ------------ When replying, please *trim your post* as much as possible. *Plain text, please; NO Attachments Searchable Archive at http://www.info-arch.org/lists/sigia-l/ Most presentations/papers and posters have been loaded to the IA Summit 06 website: http://iasummit.org/2006/conferencedescrip.htm http://iasummit.org/2006/posters.htm ________________________________________ Sigia-l mailing list ...

- 10 [Sigia-l] Card sorting (Re) -- rank: 1000
- ..| do tell I'm sorry. My meaning is there are a great number of books which address entry-level techniques (some go to multiple editions). It's a shame that IA mires itself at the lowest rung of its very tall ladder. More unfortunate is that most IAs (or usability, interaction, even design people) feel their proficiency with such things like card-sorting, library science, even information science (home of the quantitative deliverable) should carry some distinction in the big-picture sense of things. But as far as accomplishment goes, truly creating info architectures which do the difficult job of 'structuring without consciously aiming for ...

- 12 [Sigia-l] A different kind of shopping experience (Re) -- rank: 1000
- It is standard in ecommerce now to include color information for a product and local search couldn't be hotter. As for a point-of-departure for shopping experiences who can say (as a consumer) they haven't bought something because it's "in my color" or because it's "so close, it's just right there" geographically speaking. The other common points-of-departure are size, brand, and price. Etsy is trying to be more engaging with this Flash UI than ordered information (lists and so on). This UI strategy recognizes users don't enjoy the leash of overly-controlled experiences because it lacks naturalness and doesn't engage the range ...
