That has been my title for several years. If you can be a User Experience Designer or an Information Architect (both well-established job titles), what is wrong with "(User) Experience Architect" if you do both?

No, you're right. I wasn't aiming at a "be-all, end-all" post though... just highlighting some common ways people piggy-back their preferences on "UX". However, your suggestion is good and I added it to my (rel

Billion dollar companies are still staffed by humans, as far as I know. "Companies" don't do anything. Their employees do.

Flattr's blog post seems to have a bit of that "not fair!" tone to it, which they - for better or for worse - don't actually have the right to say. I can definitely see the argument from Twitter's side, even if I don't agree with it. But mo

Thanks for the feedback, (I don't think you're a d*) and you're basically right. This site, though, isn't actually a product (yet). It's a test, to prove our inbox concept. Like glorified customer research, in a good way. That being said, m

That's fair, and I am glad we're on the same page about privacy. It's important to us, but also hard as hell to communicate that we're not trying to steal or read your stuff. :) As far as the product... the efficiency is due in part to the

drunkenfly beat me to it. Thanks. :) As far as I know we revoke our own access when the test is complete (although that doesn't come with an automatic notification. When you get the email with your results, you're welcome to check, and if i

In the footer of the site (the FAQ type text) we explain a bit, but all we do is count things from your inbox. The actual content of messages or attachments is never downloaded (just the headers and such), and we only have read-only access

WOW, the response is huge right now! We appreciate your patience if the test takes a while (your results will be emailed to you, so you don't have to wait).

Thanks for doing the test! And for explaining a bit about how you use email, that's helpful. We won't do any of those things, actually. Our inbox/app is structured much differently and your own natural behavior informs the algorithm (no man

I am one of the founders of Remark and would love your feedback! I would really love to hear your result and a description of how you handle email!

It is tempting, with articles about company models, to go away with a "this is how to be successful" mentality, but I think that is wrong. The design of a company appeals to a certain kind of people, regardless of the model. Do you put a pr

From the article: "A few months ago we tested a new design for our map UI. The new UI converted a bit worse. But we preferred it, so we kept it anyway." They A/B tested and then went with the LOSING version, because it felt better in

A/B testing does not tell you what to do. It measures what you have done. HUGE difference, but a difference that very few people actually seem to understand. The last paragraph of this article made me shake my head though. If you do A/B tes

Typically - and I am purposely avoiding too fine a point on this - the copyright remains with the creator until payment occurs. Otherwise no transfer of rights has occurred.

This is great! Therefore, I have requests! :) 1) Sort the co-investor list by clicking the title of each column. Specifically, I would like to see the list in % order. 2) It would be fantastic to filter search results by location, or VCs th

I love that competition idea. For non-drawing features I definitely agree. Linking would save lots of work.

by JoelMarsh 14y ago
As a 10-year UXer, I totally agree! I was nodding and saying "exactly" out loud throughout the whole article. People that WANT shadows and details and pre-made stuff like that are the people who want to design the UI in stead of the functio

"Mobile first" is a design strategy, which ensures that you identify the primary content/features when making responsive designs. It has nothing to do with which device is more important or more common.

If an upvote is a save, that's a good idea (it's a good feedback loop) but that definitely should be communicated somewhere when you register. If nobody knows that it sort of kills the thought behind it.
