Entering the Mobile SpacePosted on November 10, 2009

Molt:n recently attended the Edge of the Web conference in Perth where I delivered the presentation, Entering the Mobile Space.

View more presentations from gleddy.

The topic was a new one for me so it was great to research and deliver in front of a mixed crowd of developers, designers and soon-to-be mobile fanatics. I am hoping [...]

When your sponsors affect your customer experiencePosted on January 13, 2009

You would think that concert tickets would be one of the simplest systems to design from a usability and IA perspective. User searches for event, selects dates and tickets and then goes through purchase funnel.
I’m constantly amazed at how often ticket companies get online wrong. Moshtix are great and I’ve always had a good [...]

Flickr launches new homepagePosted on October 16, 2008

Flickr blogged a few weeks ago about a major design change to the flickr homepage, and it just launched today.

It has some pretty big interaction design changes - they have now combined all the latest activity, so new comments/favourites/notes/tags on your photo show up in the same area as comments you’ve made on other [...]

Just tell me when Falls Festival is…Posted on August 13, 2008

I am a big fan of Flash when it is used correctly and wisely, just like everything else. JavaScript, Lightbox, Adobe AIR, even Comic-sans can be used in ways that often improve the user experience rather than being a roadblock preventing it.
But it usually doesn’t work out this way. I know great Flash developers out [...]

Nokia has the worst customer experiencePosted on August 7, 2008

I am so angry with Nokia at the moment - I now own an $800 brick that I can only throw in the bin.
I have a Nokia N73 that I’ve owned for 14 months (yes it’s 2 months out of warranty). Note I am still paying off the stupid thing as I took a [...]

Powerpoint hellPosted on August 3, 2008

Ok maybe hell isn’t the right word. After all, I’m not stuck in a room with a sales guy presenting bad jokes and heinous sound-effects.
Love Creative have just launched their new website created entirely in Powerpoint.

The site comes complete with poxy Powerpoint sound effects and visual transitions, such as the whirly text or [...]
