[IxDA Discuss] Looking for creative ways to run a Data Analysis Brainstorming session
I'm planning a 3 hour meeting for my team to: - read through stories of our 3 field observations and 7-8 phone interviews and identify tasks, pain points, and insights - build an affinity diagram - brainstorm design ideas for our product (which we don't know anything about yet) This is a new team and this is our first project together. I've run similar sessions in the past with other teams (not covering so much though), but I'd like to learn more about how other people are running sessions like these and if anyone has any good tips/advice to ensure success.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Gmail drag and drop
The idea behind the drag handle is to mimic ridges or dimples on physical products (e.g. battery covers or VCR panels). Gmail's drag handles weren't immediately obvious to me until I read their blog article about them. I don't see how they are any more or less usable than what they had before. If most users feel similarly ambivalent, the drag handles are just clutter. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Gmail drag and drop
When you edit bookmarks in Safari on the iPhone, there is a small icon (three grey stripes) to the right which lets you grab the bookmark and reorder your list. It's different from Gmail's icon, but still conveys some sort of tread that you could grab onto. It's interesting how these different icons are slowing starting to coalesce. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Christine, it's OT, but since the virtual memory was invented, programs *never* crash as a consequence of running out of memory (except for some special cases, like running out of address space, but I doubt your firefox would consume 4GBs of memory). The source of crash is elsewhere - some runaway FF extension, or (mostly) badly written plugin - write a list of your addons and plugins, and try disabling them one by one. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Gmail drag and drop
That's the pattern used to move icon bars in the microsoft applications (with one line of dot instead of 2). The mouse cursor appearance also changes. I'm not sure people are using drag and drop this way in gmail. The only person I saw using it drags the labels to the opened email because it required less precision. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Gmail drag and drop
Back to the interaction... You are also able to drag the label to the message when the message is in the list or when you have the message open. I have actually moved to using this interaction more as it allows me to label the message without having the message get tagged and archived all in one step. For those that don't know when a message is archived it is removed from the main list of messages. Currently if you drag the message to the label using the drag handles it will do both a label and an archive. I often want to label a message but have it remain visible in the list, i.e tag it. Even though you can drag the labels to the messages there are no drag handles on the labels. I'm interested to hear discussion about certain drag-able items having drag handles and others not. And then, if the labels had drag handles how should the interface communicate that dragging labels will only perform a label steps, but dragging a message with perform label-AND-archive steps? Or is this a case where the context of what is being dragged will dictate what steps are performed? (Personally I would disagree with the last statement because I was surprised that it archived my message when I drug it to a label, but maybe that's just me.) Perhaps the reason that drag handles are not on the labels is that the design rationale is meant to direct users to drag messages and not labels. Perhaps the design rationale is providing a 'hidden alternative' so people like myself aren't locked out of an inverse interaction, inverse meaning drag 'label to message' instead of 'message to label'.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] date pickers starting on Sunday
In some hospitals the work week starts on Sunday, as well as in retail. I think they left the calender with the week starting on Sunday to mimic the regular calendar most people use. The Only time I have ever seen a calendar where Monday started the week and Sunday ended it, was when I saw a Seventh day Adventist's calendar. I guess it might have been the case of, if it is not broken, why fix it. Majority of people are use to having Sunday start the week. Changing Sunday to the end of the week, is more of a preference than a need. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Gmail drag and drop
@christine I love Firefox and use it 95% of the time, but the plug-ins are usually the reason why the browser crashes or slows down. By the end of the day Firefox is using 1GB of memory. Many times my Firebug plug-in is what causes Firefox to stop noticing my tab button. I am not able to tab to other fields and would have to quit FF and restart. I will agree that sometimes too much Javascript functionality on a page does cause problems on the page or cause it to crash FF. I use the site blip.fm and sometimes when it is switching from playing a youtube video back to a regular song, it hangs and I have to quit or it just crashes all together. Just like you, I usually have about 15 tabs open at the time. Times like that, makes me glad FF added the save tabs when close feature. The reason why all these sites have a lot and drag and drop features and such is to make our user experience more like the desktop or just to make the use of the application easier. Some places use a lot of bells and whistle for no good reason, but I've found most of them places I use haven't done that ... yet :-) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[IxDA Discuss] Gmail drag and drop
Hugh- I haven't heard anything about testing on this specific implementation, but I never would have guessed that functionality without the tip they provided and now I use it all the time as it is more efficient than clicks and types through a dropdown. In my experience drag and drop works nicely with gripper bars, but an impementation would be too costly with space on a list. Sometimes, I think drag and drop is about as hidden as a right-click menu.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Looking for creative ways to run a Data Analysis Brainstorming session
After your team has worked through the data, you could have them pair up and do some braindrawing which is visual brainstorming of ideas or pieces of ideas related to your data. The brainstorming could involve different types of sketches including some workflow diagrams, features that emerge from your data, or features ideas. If this sounds interesting, I can send you some more details.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Time to add some functionality to Minimize, Maximize and Close buttons.
Jim, Each of the scenarios you described would have a possible benefit, but for some more than the others. You need to identify most common scenarios and have that as a default behavior for those three buttons. Then support an alternate behavior through a shortcuts such as alt +click on maximize could maximize vertically. Displaying 3-4 additional options puts more cognitive load. A deeper question though would be what is the problem that you are trying to solve by maximizing vertically or horizontally - why would people want to do it, plot out the scenarios and you might find a completely different solution to support their goal as opposed to the task. So why would someone not want to make a window full screen? To help people keep two windows side by side? - Windows 7 is trying to solve this by allowing people to drag windows to the left and right edges of the screens (fitts laws in play) and making then 50% of the screen width. In OSX the maximize button doesn't take full screen, but resizes window based on the content of the window. - AJ On Jul 24, 2009, at 8:11 PM, Jim Harrison wrote: Over the past few months I have been thinking how nice it would be to have a couple extra windowing buttons.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Time to add some functionality to Minimize, Maximize and Close buttons.
It all depends on who your audience is. I personally don't need these extra buttons. I'm thinking about all those people who are struggling with learning basics (those boomers who are struggling with what can be delicately called computer literacy issues). Every day, I'm on the phone with at least one of these poor souls, intelligent but clueless about basics, and who have poor mental models of how their systems work (and I'm talking about software that's five years old). To make matters worse, they either resist formal training, or have had horrific experiences, making them unwilling to try again. They don't learn from books, online tutorials; experiential learners all. I'm perfectly happy with this part of the interface as is--and my cadre of struggling boomers whom I advise probably would second that vote. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Usability of pre-filled versus empty in content capture software
Hi Phillip, I'm not aware of any academic research in this field, but I've been involved in couple of projects with similar issues. In one project, which was about UI design for banking application, we've decided to not automatically fill in the entries, although there was really insignificant chance to make a mistake. It just was very crucial that the user not only fills in the correct data, but also is aware of the answers he/she provided. To me, it's like adding fields for email/password verification to a registration form, and then saving user their time by automatically filling in those entries. I think that if it is really crucial to get the correct data and keep customers aware of their answers, it's better not to fill in the data automatically. If there's really huge amount of the data to provide, and it can be fixed if wrong answers are provided, then I think it's Ok to do that if you clearly indicate that the data was filled in by the system.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Tag cloud generators
Hi Sarah, The first link tagcloud-generator didn't work for me. I tried both HTML and Flash versions, but none has generated a cloud. The tocloud worked nice, but I felt a little bit over busy with the amount of functions. In addition, I didn't figure out how to change the effect. Or, perhaps it just didn't work. The tag-cloud was easy to use and produced very nice cloud. Others contained only single words and no expressions and didn't filter out 3-or-less-letters words. To summarize - the tocloud worked is best in terms of performance. It doesn't count insignificant words of two letters, processes expressions and has an easy to use interface. If I only figured out how the effects work, I wouldn't feel like a loser. Nice list of generators, thanks for publishing them Sarah. Good luck, Julia.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Time to add some functionality to Minimize, Maximize and Close buttons.
To Joshua: That is exactly what I mean!! Very helpful information. To Alok: Scenario: Closing and opening the same window repeatedly. The window is set to open at a specific location and size (default) by the application that opens the window. The process of locating and then resizing the window each time can be made more efficient if a single button click sets the window in a precise location and size. Scenario: Opening a PDF is an example where I would like to maximize verticle and not horizontal. When I open a PDF it tends to sit in the middle of the screen. I have other applications I am monitoring but I want to read the PDF. I grab the window and move it to the upper right corner of my screen then click the max vert button. I now have maximized my PDF reading space while not covering the other applications. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Time to add some functionality to Minimize, Maximize and Close buttons.
To Josephine: Your comment brings to mind NERO. The app has two buttons, one for everyday users and one for advanced users. Selecting the button changes the interface. Then I spun off onto icons and imagining one of a middle aged balding man in a wifebeater, day old stubble, saggy eyes, mouth slightly ajar with a bit of drool. Call it Technologically Challenged Mode. But really, you are right, the interface should be kept simple with avenues for advancement as each users' experience develops requirements. Then others can develop neat little apps to augment/refine/customize. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[IxDA Discuss] ANN: Design friendly Certified Scrum Product Owner training
All: [Please excuse the self-promotion from a non-participating member.] I'm offering two back-to-back Scrum Certified Product Owner courses during August. You can find more here: http://www.agileproductdesign.com/training/passionate_product_owner.html This class is useful for designers working in an agile and Scrum context. My goal with these courses is to focus on building mental models and skills necessary for those working as product owners to be really good at what they're doing. Of course, like all trainers, this course carries my biases about what mental models and skills are most important. And for me those mental models and skills are rooted in design thinking and design practice. I believe interaction designers make the strongest of Scrum Product Owners, and know many to back up that belief. (More here: http://www.agileproductdesign.com/blog/emerging_best_agile_ux_practice.html) And even if not the primary decision maker, IxDs are a critical part of healthy Product Ownership team. This course advocates for a team-based approach that includes designers and practices such as user research, design prototyping, and user validation. For designers on this list, you won't learn to design - but to better facilitate design - to break down planning and design work in a way that works in an agile context. For non-designers on the list, you'll learn the design thinking that will help you work more effectively with customers and users. You'll learn to abandon statements like those users never know what they want and replace them with some useful practice that helps you understand them and work effectively with them to get to what they need. The first class is likely to be a bit rough - and is priced accordingly. ;-) I really want this CSPO course to be different than anything else you could find out there. And, it'll take a bit of iteration to make it good. Please visit the writeup on the course, and I'd love your feedback:http://www.agileproductdesign.com/training/passionate_product_owner.html Thank you, -Jeff - Jeff Patton blog: www.agileproductdesign.com/blog Passionate Product Owner Training: http://www.agileproductdesign.com/training/passionate_product_owner.html Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!

Re: [IxDA Discuss] date pickers starting on Sunday
Thanks for all the responses. I checked in with my friend Brother Karekin (aka the punk monk). We worked on several calendar software products together, and he affirmed this is indeed Judeo-Christian influence in origin. From a quick software survey, applications that are work focused (Outlook, iCal, Zimbra, etc) all get around this by having a workweek view and a Sunday-Monday preference. Basecamp provides subtle shading on its calendar to focus your attention on M-F while still displaying S and S on either side. But because websites (as opposed to apps) rarely have user preferences, Sunday starts are tha much more common. My question wasn't about fighting a standard, but why a standard that no longer corresponds to secular life persists.

Yet, the dentists failed to make any progress. Then Dr. John's Products released a line of children's power toothbrushes. (Subsequently acquired by Proctor Gamble.) The battery powered devices only have an On switch and automatically turn off after 3 minutes. The 3 minute run time forces the child to brush the entire period. Children who use the toothbrush regularly demonstrate substantial better long-term oral health than children who don't. The design of the toothbrushes explicitly influences the behavior of the child, guiding them to better oral health. Is that wrong? Mint.com shows users their spending and investing habits in a way that, for many users, changes their behavior to spend more consciously and invest more savings. Is that wrong? Sacremento's Municipal Utility District found that when they put smiley faces on the bills that of residents who outperformed 100 of their neighbors in homes of similar size that used the same heating fuel, those households reduced energy use by 2%.
