Hi IxDA'ers!

My client is a major, big-name player in the global design community, and
they're looking for a FREELANCE INFORMATION ARCHITECT for their Seattle
office for an immediate freelance gig.

This IA would need to be able to work approx 40 hour weeks, onsite in
Seattle, for about 4 weeks.

This would be such a major coup to nail this gig---VERY prestigious name to

query: mobile functionality trends

Hi All,

Im curious if anyone has come across any recent research or trend projections regarding the future of mobile phone form / functionality / IxD, as a result of nano-technologies impacting the industry.
Sorta along the lines of what Nokia is projecting in 5-7 years with Morph.
Apologies if this is already an ancient line of discussion here...

cheers!

Worst Login/Password/Forgot Password Process Ever?

<rant>
Ever try to login to the UPA website?

Haven't in a while and forgotten your password?

They actually expect me to remember my UPA number to retrieve my
password....

Who designed this? A grass-smokin' monkey? This is the UPA, not the MIT
Alumni Association!

Everyone already knows that the simplest thing is to allow people to select
using their email address as their username. This is common knowledge. UPA
expects me to remember a random numeric string that I have used -- what? 4
times in the last 3 years.

Visual Interfaces" by Mullet & Sano
(http://www.librarything.com/work/5737/book/29957655). I think it's a
very interesting book and many of the principles described in the book
still hold today. However, most of the examples are very outdated and
also the technology has moved on in some areas (e.g.

Relative difficulty of creation

Hi list members,

While researching approaches to lower the threshold of content
production in applications driven by user contributions I was
wondering whether research in the relative difficulty of creating
content exists.
"Relative difficulty of creation" relates to the question what kind
of tasks a user regards as more difficult than another. e.g.
