What’s So Social about Sign-in? (13)
on
Yahoo! User Interface Blog (41) permalink
Just recently I published a new pattern, Sign-in Continuity, to the Yahoo! Design Pattern Library. It could be filed under “Engagement,” a category we have internally but that hasn’t appeared yet here, but I decided to put it in the “Social” category instead. The pattern is about making sure that a user’s momentum isn’t robbed when they want to participate in a community and have to be challenged for their login credentials in order to ...Shared by (jeff)isageek (48) aemkei (2) AJ (154) Brian Antonelli (4) David (11) Jason (6) Kingsley (0) koles (1) Michael (18) nelson (11) Nick (0) pelles (9) YuSuPh (0)Contribute comment - CSS Rounded Corners 'Roundup' | Smiley Cat Web Design (3)

Seth's Blog (660) permalink
Lesley reminds us of Hertzberg's work on hygiene. It's not just theory, it's a vitally important marketing concept. It's easy to believe that joy lives on a simple curve. If you give me more of what I want, you give me more joy. If one baseball game is good, season tickets are better. If $300 an hour for consulting is good, $400 is better. Improved = more. It turns out, though, that there isn't just ...Shared by _original (25) aElian (0) AJ (154) Andrew Boardman (61) angol (10) Beck Tench (25) Benjamin R (4) Christelle (8) Dave (8) doransky (22) Edwin Khodabakchian (0) Erik (13) Hakim (14) Jeff (0) JenniferG (14) Joe Schmitt (0) Jonathan Washburn (3) Josh Lawton (0) Julius (0) Julius (26) kepp (17) Kneale Mann | RedFish Group (18) koles (1) Lee (0) Lee (4) MAlbano (5) mathewbutler (6) mfh (18) Michael (13) MichaelMJ (5) Mike Troiano (1) Nitin Badjatia (3) Ozgur Alaz, Marketallica (15) Phillip Baker (1) rexy (23) Ricardo M.

IntervalCalendar for Date-Range Selection (6)
onJohn Peloquin, a developer for W. Hardy Interactive, Inc., graciously contributed a new YUI Calendar implementation called IntervalCalendar that we’ve incorporated into the basic YUI Calendar example set. The IntervalCalendar class, defined in this example, allows users to select pairs of dates representing the start and end of a date interval. Applications which require interval selection, for example a hotel check-in/check-out date selector, frequently display separate calendar instances to select the beginning and ending dates ...Contribute comment

In the Wild for August 21, 2008 (7)
onIt’s been a busy July and August for the YUI team, working on a preview release of YUI’s next-generation 3.x codeline and ramping up for the next release in the 2.x codeline — a release in which we’re focusing on bringing DataTable and RTE out of beta, adding a new Carousel Control (based on Bill Scott’s popular YUI-based Carousel), and more. In the meantime, there’s been a lot of YUI news out there… Satyam’s YUI ...Contribute comment

The Only Thing We Have To Fear Is Premature Standardization (18)
onThe web is made of open standards. This was a significant factor in the web’s displacement of proprietary application platforms. Openness is hugely attractive, so much so that the web dominates over competitors with better technologies. The difficult tradeoff that comes with a standards-based approach is that it is difficult to innovate. As a result, the basic technologies of the browser have been stalled for a decade. What innovation we’ve enjoyed, such as the Ajax ...Shared by bjori (6) César C (3) Darrin (0) Dominik (27) dryan (6) Jeff Poetker (2) kcearns (0) Ken Sykora (1) koles (1) marchbox (12) Matt (2) met (8) mjs (8) PJ Kix (3) Rob (2) Ryan (2) Scott (0) Tony Duckles (7)

The secret of the web (hint: it's a virtue) (161)

The what's in it for them. We want to know why someone is acting the way they are. Your customers or your friends or your investors or your boss want to know what makes you tick.

Proč se mi líbí Google Knol (2)

Sova v síti (0) permalink
Nová služba Googlu Knol sice vzbudila zájem, ale přijetí bylo spíše vlažné. Skoro všichni komentátoři srovnávají Knol s Wikipedií a skoro všichni dospívají k závěru, že Wikipedia je lepší a ještě hodně dlouho, ne-li navždy, lepší bude. Inu, souhlasím. Google Knol je horší než Wikipedie. Je horší nejspíš proto, že není Wikipedie. Podobná srovnání, myslím, nemají žádný význam. Zkusme se podívat na Knol jinak — jako na hosting jednotlivých stránek.
