Social Interaction Design... considering unseen elements of system like social relationships, power dynamics, cultural rules #ux - http://www.core77.com/blog...
Many tools have pleasant, user-friendly interfaces and take advantage of well-designed physical devices (i.e., they're easy to use from a human-computer-interaction perspective). But it's in the sociological and anthropological arenas where they run into trouble: most social software tools are clumsy and ineffective at smoothly facilitating interpersonal interaction - Sachendra

Nokia Friend View: 7 months after its launch and after several updates, does anyone use it and finds it useful? I personally don't... it could have been the mobile Brightkite/Plazes but it never did!

I don't find it useful - Sachendra
The service itself is outstanding however the fact that it is Nokia to Nokia only is what will make it useless to most, especially in the states. If they would made this less platform specific they could have easily had a winner on their hands. This is coming from a Symbian fanatic. Useful yes, but only for a very small few of my friends. - Sloan Bowman
In Italy Nokia has over 50% of share (it was even over 60% last year!), and in Europe in general is still very high. Still I don't see how it can be useful. Even Google Latitude got way superior in short, and the lack of several basic features don't make me think it will get better anytime soon. Pity, as Nokia owning Plazes.com could have combined them to a nice app. - Flavio
Friend View will be cut-off on September 30th: http://betalabs.nokia.com/blog... Goodbye, but I think we won't miss it. - Flavio

Very interesting blog on the Characteristics of User Experience - http://charux.com/
The blogger's intent is to create a ‘language of critique’ for user experiences. Initially targeted at online user experiences but will be extended beyond that. Check it out for new examples of each characteristic and principle of user experience - Sachendra

New approaches to UX design that allows designers not only to understand users' tasks and behaviour and make products that comply with them but also to change these behaviours. Here's three practices described — Persuasion Design, Catalyst Design and Performance Design. - Sachendra

New blog post: Google Wave: What might email look like if it were invented today http://radar.oreilly.com/2009... Being announced at Google I/O this am
only had a brief read,, sounds like friendfeed! - Jamie Vidamour
Sounds a LOT like FriendFeed. This appears to be a shot at the real-time social web (in relation to friends). However, I guess it's not as public which is one interesting difference. - Brandon Titus
Ok, maybe friendfeed with benefits - Jamie Vidamour
friendfeed w/ benefits...*snort* +1! - Ken Kennedy
The "outlook" model is a concept that we can all dive straight into. It may not look pretty at the moment but leaping too far into the unknown will put off a lot of people. - Jamie Vidamour
Would an OS look much different if the same "start from scratch" approach was taken? - Cam from FriendFeed MT Plugin
Now the question for late 2009-early 2010... does FriendFeed need to integrate (even integrate into) Wave? Immediate reflection is that this will be more for tight-knit correspondence, ala email -- more of a threat to Facebook's model than to Friendfeed's (where broadcasting and discussion among people barely acquainted are the modes). Tho plenty of room for all. - Christopher Galtenberg
The comparison to Groove, and the parallels to 'Practical Groupware' also occurred to me (BTW, thank you Tim for starting the process of getting a version of it up on Openbooks!). But what struck me most is that this reinvention of email and the erasure of the distinction between collaboration and conversation is essentially private. A large part of Jon's book was concerned with taking... more... - Michael R. Bernstein from FriendFeed MT Plugin
Gah. 'stuck me most'? 'Thanks you Tim'? I should wait until I've finished my coffee. Incidentally, I've corrected all these mistaks on the FriendFeed instance of the comment. If this was a wave, I suppose those edits would be reflected here. - Michael R. Bernstein from FriendFeed MT Plugin
Uh-oh. Looks like edits in FF *are* reflected here, but long comments then become truncated, and they lose the extra line-breaks. Hmm. - Michael R. Bernstein from FriendFeed MT Plugin
Reposting the second half of my comment here: Another set of problems occurs to me: We understand more-or-less the implications of having multiple email accounts, and our email clients have features to support this, but what does it mean to have multiple Wave accounts, especially on separate Wave servers? For that matter, when you leave Acme or Initech, can you take your waves with you... more... - Michael R. Bernstein from FriendFeed MT Plugin
Great article, just to mention that I really liked the text-to-speech feature, I'm a user that does read by text-to-speech, having it streamed, readily available was cool. The title is so what he said in the keynote. That represents Wave in all aspects. - ElijahBailey-Zu of FF <0,
The biggest problem it solves is that you no longer have to write "See comments inline" http://sachendra.wordpress.com/2009... - Sachendra from FriendFeed MT Plugin

Mobile Search Gets a "Push": Aloqa's Location-Aware App Debuts - http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive...
love the pragmatic approach of leveraging an existing popular social network instead of trying to create a new one. It'll be interesting to see what happens when FB themselves come up with a similar offering which is bound to happen. As of search, definitely a better experience. - Sachendra

Video: Sony Ericsson’s new Android UI “Rachel” gets toured

"Uh-oh. Better look out, HTC. Looks like Sense isn’t the only gorgeous Android overhaul on the block anymore. USEB managed to scrounge up a demo of Sony Ericsson’s Android interface, codenamed “Rachel” (as inherited from the device it’s expected to launch on, also named “Rachel”), and man does it look fantastic." - zsafwan  from Bookmarklet
simply awesome.. a completely integrated experience - Sachendra
way cool - Russ Jackson
Like the HTC Hero, pre and iphone, I think perhaps a little bit too bloated. - Charbax
Charbax: WebOS's UI doesn't feel bloated to me. Have you played with a Pre? - Christopher A Carr
I have seen this before, it was made by HTC, I think it was called TouchFlo? Or something like that. Or was it Android? I can't seem to remember. - Zachary TG
Zachary: "TouchFlo(3D)" is a UI for WinMo, built by HTC. "Sense" is HTC's UI for Android. As noted in the description, the video shows Sony Ericsson's (probably not complete) UI for Android. So, no, unless you've seen "Rachel," you haven't seen this before. - Christopher A Carr
gratuitous effects and widgets is all I see - Sivan Mozes
Sivan: It does seem gratuitous. ...at this point, a far cry from Sense. To be fair, I seriously doubt that this is what ends up on SE's Android handsets. - Christopher A Carr
Sachendra
Barbara makes an excellent point, however, it would be wise to remember that win-mo tried that and didnt succeed. So move with caution - Sachendra

Makes perfect sense. You’d like to share those moments with your friends, and they’re already there on social networks… why bother with an additional service… so I guess Youtube is next. - Sachendra
But I still go to Flickr for searching images I can reuse under CC licenses. - A. Prem Kumar
@Prem Kumar: May I suggest a google tool for searching CC images. http://www.google.com/coop... It's better than relying on just one source - Sachendra
@Sachendra Tx a lot for that link! Added to my iGoogle! :) - A. Prem Kumar
