[IxDA Discuss] Thoughts about Wonder Wheel?
Has anyone used the Wonder Wheel feature in Google search? (On the search results page, go to 'Show Options' Wonder Wheel) I think its a totally different way to approach search and also a great visualization to display related search results. Thoughts?

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Thoughts about Wonder Wheel?
Neat, hadn't seen that before. Thanks for sharing. Sadly I found the results irrelevant to the stuff I was searching on. Funny I just created a semantic network visualizer this weekend. I was wondering how/when it could apply to normal search and wiki's. Troy. Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Thoughts about Wonder Wheel?
The search options are only showing up for some - shame, looks interesting that. This reminds me of Kartoo, and old search engine that tried to use a visual device to link search results, Just checking and it's still going: http://www.kartoo.com/ It used to default to the visual display, but it looks like you need to use the icon at the top to the left of 'options' to display them now.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Young Designer Seeking Advice
Hi Matt, All the best with your endevour and new career! Here's my 2 cents worth: 1. What Interactive Job titles should I be applying for? - Beginner/Intern Information Architect/ Interaction Designer/Prototyper. I'd get anything you can to get in the door, even Business Analyst. 2. Can you recommend any studios in NY or SF that would be good to start a career in Interaction Design. - The job market is pretty tight in NYC, I'd imagine SF is tight as well. An idea is to network like a madman, and see what's available. Don't be discouraged if the pickings are slim, get something and take it from there. 3. What professional and technical skills should be built upon before applying to a Studio that works in Interaction design (web site design, mobile applications, user interface, and interactive media.) - Knowing how to prototype is a great start - Basic JavaScript, DHTML, XHTML, CSS, Cross browser/platform/device knowledge. Build anything for browsers and devices, it always looks good if you have an i-Phone app to show, even if it does virtually nothing but look good. - UML/modeling is good - Activity Sequence diagrams are useful, Visual Vocabulary has some nice tools. - Read up on the classics, know the basics, Old school Jacob Nielson, (lately he seems to be getting Alzheimer’s), Tufte, Jared Spool, Old school Alan Cooper (dido to Jacob Nielson). There's got to be 50 good writers in this field over the past 20 years. Note this field is very new, but some of the older books are the most relevant. Good Luck!

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Young Designer Seeking Advice
Hi Matt, As a fellow New Yorker, I would highly recommend that you look into R/GA (www.rga.com). They are an interactive agency located on 39th Street, between 8th and 9th (Hell's Kitchen area). When I was in the process of transitioning from Web Design to Interactive Design, R/GA was the first place that I worked, and it was an amazing experience. It was like getting thrown into the deep end of the pool and being forced to swim for my life (a very valuable lesson). The company is very young, lots of recent graduates (so you would fit right in with the culture), and the talent there in every discipline is exceptional. The company is also HUGE on collaboration, so you will learn from more people than you could ever imagine. As Rich mentioned, the market is very tight right now. R/GA also offers a Paid Intern program, which might be a good start. The interns normally work for a year or 18 months with all disciplines (design, interactive design, programming, etc), and then choose the area that they want to move in to. It's a great way to get your feet wet, and get your foot in the door. Best of luck to you in your search. Thank you, Vicki L.

I am in the process of doing some career planning and would really appreciate all of your feedback, as I would imagine there also many other people out there like me. Basically, I received a design education (BFA @ The School of Visual Arts) and have been a tinkerer in Web Design since high school (1998).

My goal for September is to be starting my career at an Interactive Studio or Agency in New York or San Francisco. My Questions are: 1.

Can you recommend any studios in NY or SF that would be good to start a career in Interaction Design. 3.

[IxDA Discuss] User Assistance (was Get started tutorials)
On Jun 8, 2009, at 1:46 AM, Ted Kilian wrote: I am looking for good examples of get started tutorials - by which I mean the optional tooltips that guide you through an online application for the first time. I have seen this most often in games, but I know I have run across it in websites as well. We are proposing to replace existing video tutorials with this approach and I am looking for examples, studies or opinions that support or refute this decision. My sense is that the future of help for new users is to provide these sorts of optional, in-context tools rather than create and maintain a separate training video or tutorial. Rather than leave the functional flow to learn how to use something, this approach walks users through the process so that they are using while they are learning. It also means if the application is changed, all that is required is the additional in-context elements, rather than redesigning and producing a new video, which can become relatively expensive and complex. [Not answering Ted's question, but instead talking about a bigger problem that I think IxDs are struggling with.] So, this is the third request in as many months for a basic introduction to user assistance. User assistance (http://is.gd/T98M) is a branch of online design that has been worked on by really smart people for more than 30 years, going back to the early work by Jack Carroll (http://is.gd/T9jA, known for his work on minimalism) and others. There's even an excellent annual conference on the topic (http://is.gd/T9bu - note: I was the closing keynote this year and have presented at many of them before). Every question that's been asked to this list about tutorials, demos, tooltips, and online assistance has been answered many times before by the UA community. I realize that IxD is a new field, but how do we integrate the excellent work that's been done before instead of trying to reinvent it? Sounds like a good design problem to me! Jared Jared M.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Thoughts about Wonder Wheel?
I think the wonder wheel is a great idea, but it seems out of place in the google search page. That's probably more of a well, how the heck do we tack THIS thing onto our traditional search problem. But the upside is that it serves as an evolving mind map of a search and lets you easily retrace your steps to get back to search contexts you may have missed (and to let you choose a more narrow context for which you might not have anticipated the best wording). To me Wonder-wheel is to Breadcrums as Subway Map is to spooling a string behind you in order to retrace your steps if you get lost. It is not very useful for basic searches, but is excels for searches about topics which I know little about. It basically provides me with suggestive context for my searching, and is more useful than a linear suggestive-typing feature in a search box. As for the aesthetic, well, that's a different matter. It looks awkward jammed in there to the right of the results filter menu. -Damon Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!

Re: [IxDA Discuss] What is an Experience Strategy?
Hmm... to me, 'offering' has that duality: it could mean one instance or the consolidation of many. I was thinking that a circular reference to 'experience' might not be too bad. But in the end, an experience resides within an individual. Through an experience strategy, we can make efforts to direct that experience towards something we'd like them to have with our organization, but can't control every part of it, much less provide or offer it to a person. So 'experience', at least on its own, probably won't work either. Why not just get rid of the parentheses: instead of '(product or service) offering', use 'product or service'? Or maybe even better: 'products and services', as an individual product or service doesn't often stand alone from each other with respect to a person's experience? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[IxDA Discuss] How to transition seamlessly to a new design from an old one?
This is my first post, since I have been an avid reader of ALL the advices and comments from intellectual people over here. But a small question popped in my mind when I came across a website that was redesigned and I was completely lost. Pardon me if this query has been answered before. It's an employee intranet portal which had been operational for around a decade. The UI wasn't changed one bit in all this time. Later the organization decided it was time to move on and did the best they could with the UI design. For a few weeks the new (completely overhauled) design lived beside its older cousin and the users had the choice to peek in while still continuing in the old mode. One day they launched the new avatar. Now this overhauled UI has a new information architecture - complex if one is accustomed working in the order scheme of things. Links that were easily spotted previously had been moved around and/or hidden under heaps of fancy labels. When I went looking for one frequently visited section, it took me a good 10 minutes to find it!! That's unacceptable and a waste of employee time. My question is, how does one accomplish the difficult task of introducing a new design? how does the organization shift seamlessly from the older version UI to the new one without any surprises for the user? how can the user begin using a new system starting from where he left it earlier?

Re: [IxDA Discuss] How to transition seamlessly to a new design from anold one?
We recently went through a similar redesign. Through extensive card sorting and usability testing of new and experienced users, we found that keeping the old (albeit non-ideal) terminology was often the best compromise. Experienced users just got too lost if we renamed functions and topics that they had used for years. The exception to this was functions that even experienced users had trouble finding/understanding, which we renamed using card sort results as a guide (then re-tested with other users). As we have fairly low turnover, these experienced users make up a very high percentage of our audience, so keeping some of the status quo was a better overall decision than a 100% overhaul. We also did substantially more user testing of the navigation/terminology changes than a typical design change, which corrected some mistakes early and gave us confidence in the changes we did make. -Original Message- It's an employee intranet portal which had been operational for around a decade.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Click Dummy
I've not heard of it either - but I have a few guesses. Just from the semantics, I would guess that they mean a mid-fidelity HTML prototype, where you can actually click option buttons and buttons and checkboxes and select things from list boxes and change screens, etc., but that there is no other code to make it do something. So, for example, in a recommender tool, you could click a certain path of option buttons to show/not show questions and get to a certain recommendation screen, but you could click any other path and get to that same rec screen, thus it is a dummy, it always behaves the same, regardless of what one clicks. However, I did a quick google search and it came up with this click dummy: http://www.medien.ifi.lmu.de/fileadmin/mimuc/mmi_ws0304/exercise/uebung4 /dummy_js/no-sound-index.html. This then is for testing purposes, it would seem, rather than for mostly getting buy-in from the client. Since it's obviously not a widely-used term (google had that 1 relevant link), I would get clarification on what they really want before you continue (especially if you're putting together a bid on the project). Let us know what you find out!
