		<description><![CDATA[A few days ago, while reading a book on a traditional user-centered design (UCD) methodology I caught myself thinking: &#8220;This is sooo engineering!.&#8221; It was solid UCD, but it felt old fashion. It made me realize how radically my concept of usability has changed in just a few years. It made me also realize that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A product development process built around the user and the experience is an expensive proposition for many companies. On the surface, companies may reject user- and experience-centric approaches because they appear more expensive (more steps, more people involved, more time); deep inside, taking a user-centric approach is frightening because it requires relinquishing control and embracing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scott Cook opened CHI 2006 with a plenary on fostering innovation. Live-blogging notes have been posted on the CHI Blog. Here are my notes, which are not a word-by-word report on the talk but more of an annotated reconstruction (quote at your own risk).

		<description><![CDATA[Solitary designers, lonely geniuses, and isolated creative teams: it&#8217;s time for you to think about social interaction for your user interfaces. No, I am not talking about social software, user-created content, or Web 2.0. I am talking about any old-fashion user interface: because for us human beings any interaction is a social interaction&#8211;even when we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week, I had a chance to conduct user interviews after quite a while. I loved any minute of it. There is nothing more rewarding (for me) than spending two hours with people I never met before (and probably I will never meet again) trying to understand the world from their point of view.

		<description><![CDATA[Often I hear these broad blanket statements on what people do or don&#8217;t do online: &#34;people don&#8217;t read,&#34; &#34;people don&#8217;t scroll,&#34; &#34;people don&#8217;t wait.&#34; Usually these declarations come from people who have just enough knowledge of usability to be dangerous, but, alas, I&#8217;ve heard even usability practitioners uttering them. When I hear statements like those [...]]]></description>
