Why context is important
I recently saw the image below and was instantly reminded about the importance of context when creating usable products.
Fave Usability blogs
I want to share some Usability blogs that I frequent:
1. Experience Lab - I got this from Serco Usability. It talks about anything and everything pertaining to experience design.
2. Handheld Usability - is the legendary Scott Weiss’ blog that talks about usability and user experience design in the mobile space. I just love this guy - very witty and insightful. I’m a BIG fan and was honored to have met him this year. I wish he can update more frequently, though.
3. Usability Post - usability blog of Pixelshell’s Dmitry Fadeyev. He’s got a lot to say about tips on good Web and software design.
4. User Centered - talks about anything and everything usability - from design, to testing to product reviews - from iPhones to browsers. Entries are user-generated so I get to read a lot of usability practitioners’ take on the usability of everyday things.
I wish there are more blogs on usability and user experience design. I found several of them but there are only a few writers who make the effort to update regularly.
Keep us posted if you find good usability blogs so we can share them here.
