The one that has proved most immediate in the emergency department environment is the issue of time. Speci

Ugh - this is a topic I don't tend to discuss but I'll give my experience here. UX with non-profits has for me, been a very painful experience. The leaders of the organizations having so much of a strong desire over the presentation that it might be easier to pull my own teeth out than to assist

This whole idea seems particularly similar to the embedded video players that are on every web page these days. You click play, the video may or may not play right away (initial load). Then it starts to play but continues to buffer more in the background. There is usually a nice visual indicator

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Faceted Search Stats

Are you absolutely sure that faceted search is going to improve their users' experience? It may not be necessary unless they have hundreds (or even thousands) of products that they are selling. There's no need to make things overly complex. Also, if you have a good, intelligent search, faceted s

Pros vs. Cons for me so far coming from a commerce point of view. A pro for me is helping the "browsing user" quickly and easily continue on their browsing path with the least amount of distraction possible. If a user happens upon the end of a page and is then shown 10 more results without havin

Re: [IxDA Discuss] The Perpetual Scrolling Web Pages

The perpetual scroll example above reminds me of the sequential access paradigm of an audio cassette. You can't get to the middle until you've scrolled through each section. I think the dynamically built long pages would be easier to use if they loaded with a visual representation of the whole in

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Nonprofit vs. for Profit for the UX Designer

Thanks for the responses. I'm hoping not to turn this into a political discussion about the lamentable health care system in the U.S., but that may be inescapable. I don't work in this space and (luckily) don't interact with the health care system very often. But I'm amazed at how technologically
