StumbleUpon is a "network of people and pages." [Scripting News] 8:23:09 PM    comment [] Infovis on Animation. This article from Infovis provides a brief on the two main uses of animation: visual narrative and process visualization. However, my takeaway from this article is this description, which makes for a good definition of an interactive: "The ensemble of visualization, animation and interaction make a very powerful trio both for the discovery of knowledge hidden in the data and for the transmission of the existing knowledge."

THE SOCIAL CUSTOMER MANIFESTO * I want to have a say. * I don't want to do business with idiots. * I want to know when something is wrong, and what you're going to do to fix it. * I want to help shape things that I'll find useful. * I want to connect with others who are working on similar problems. *I don't want to be called by another salesperson. Ever. (Unless they have something useful. Then I want it yesterday.) * I want to buy things on my schedule, not yours. I don't care if it's the end of your quarter. * I want to know your selling process. * I want to tell you when you're screwing up. Conversely, I'm happy to tell you the things that you are doing well. I may even tell you what your competitors are doing. * I want to do business with companies that act in a transparent and ethical manner. * I want to know what's next. We're in partnership…where should we go? 8:23:07 AM    comment [] User Experience Diagrams. I find myself going back to these diagrams for understanding strategic requirements for different projects.

Tom Erickson of the IBM Watson Research Centre explores the foundations of interaction design: In this essay I explore these issues. I begin with a definition, and illustrate my approach to partitioning the terrain of interaction design using five conceptual "lenses." In so doing, I cover most of what I see as the theoretical roots of interaction design. I then turn to the role of theory in interaction design, and suggest that a good way to begin is to assemble a toolkit of concepts for interaction design that consists of appropriately sized theoretical constructs.
