[JOB] UX Designer - Waterloo, Ontario, Canada - Primal Fusion - Full time or contract

real impact on our success. We've assembled a terrific team of talented and

Tag Cloud navigation

I hope I'm not repeating something that has already been discussed.

The Smoop Beta (http://beta.crowdstorm.com/Products ) uses Tag Clouds to
support a guided search.

If you select camera in the tag cloud on the products page, the system
returns with search results for camera and a tag cloud that allows you
to narrow your search further. Does anyone know of other examples of
sites that are using tag clouds in this way?

Comparison Tables/Compare Items Examples

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Shared virtual whiteboard: Suggestions?

I am looking for a setup to share a virtual whiteboard in

I've found that the value of your work better be understood and
perceivable in the end product and that wireframes as a sales tool get
in the way. I *rarely* use them as supplemental materials if a client
wants to see an example of an in progress deliverable.

Yes, there are a lot of people who think about appliance design. If you're
looking to get hired, IDEO immediately comes to mind (

Additionally, there is a LOT of literature about object design.
