So what do we do at UIE?
by Joshua Porter | 
Comments
Lots of people ask me this question. I used to say that we help make web sites easier to use. Now, I can simply point to this:
On our Brain Sparks blog, UIE founder Jared M. Spool explains in detail what we do, outlining our biggest themes in the process:
- The Scent of Information
- The Goldilocks Content Framework
- New testing methods like the 5 Second Test
- Challenging widely held assumptions like the Three Click Rule
- And our ever-expanding library of research
ABOUT
Bokardo is a blog about interface design for social web sites and applications. I write about recommendation systems, identity, ratings, privacy, comments, profiles, tags, reputation, sharing, as well as the social psychology underlying our motivation to use (or not use) these things.
