“The interfaces we design must first be functional – they need to solve a problem for us. Next, they need to be reliable – no fail whales please. Our interfaces need to be usable – easy to learn, easy to use, and easy to remember. The piece we often overlook is the pleasure. It’s at the core of culinary arts, but we find it far too infrequently in the web apps and websites we use daily.”

“With around 60% of users identifying themselves as web developers or software engineers, that paints a fairly stereotypical picture of Google ’s userbase: nerdy guys who have deep understandings of technology and who don’t mind killing some time setting up Circles of friends.”

College Enrollment on the Rise [Infographic]

There are few things that cause an 18 year old more stress than the college admission process, but high schoolers aren’t the only ones feeling the pressure to pursue higher education. Our latest infographic reveals that, not only has post-secondary enrollment been on the rise, but over the next few years we can actually expect to see the biggest increase in enrollment coming from the 25+ demographic. However, just because institutions will be enrolling more students, the fact that applications are also on the rise means it may actually be harder to get in.

“While many businesses have created mobile versions of their websites and/or optimized their existing sites for being viewed on a mobile Web browser, small and medium-sized businesses lag behind. According to the SMB Group’s 2010 Small and Medium Business Mobile Solutions Study, only about 12 percent of small businesses (1-99 employees) and 21 percent of medium businesses (100-499 employees) have mobile Web sites (versus 44 percent for companies with more than 500 employees).”

“Building a shared understanding is not really about a specific process or tool or whether everyone can code or design. Having a shared understanding is about getting everyone to walk in the other person’s shoes a little. It’s about building respect, building vocabulary, and gaining enough insight to build solutions together that in the end make a better experience for our users.”

AT&T Data Calculator

AT&T Data Calculator:

Nice JQuerry based calculator to estimate your monthly data usage. Like the animations and drag-ability. Wish I had ipad around to see how well it works with touch. Don’t like the hard edges of the sliders.
