Don’t Make Me Click
Saturday, January 16th, 2010I was watching Aza Raskin’s presentation about reducing user interactions.
Aza presented some interesting ideas. One way to reduce interactions is to make things to work automatically. For example, he showed how an RSS reader automatically loads additional data once the user reaches the end of the page, thus the user just needs to keep scrolling to see more news. Another example is to use various gestures to interact with zooming in and out of a calendar. If you’re remotely interested in Information Architecture (IA) or user interface design, do yourself a favor and spend about an hour to see the presentation. One more thing… Aza did his presentation in Firefox!
