Boxes and Arrows: Building the Beast: Talking with Peter Morville. Our biggest area of learning was bottom-up information architecture. The first edition was grounded in the type of top-down processes that come with building a new site from scratch. In the second edition, we were able to draw upon an understanding of how to redesign sites that already contain huge amounts of content and applications. [Tomalak's Realm]

New Architect: The Road to Usability. Q&A with Tim Bray. Today's Web UI doesn't look much different than it did in 1994. Have we learned nothing? Second, the huge gulf between the visual access your desktop provides to your hard drive and the "query, hit Enter, look-at-lists-of-items" basis of most Web apps. [Tomalak's Realm]
