OPENING THANG
Good morning boys and girls! As you all know, I love a good fight-- er-- debate. I'm lucky to see a lively one at ye old website over that classic topic, do designers know how to design?
BTW, to my mind Don Norman's "APPLYING THE BEHAVIORAL, COGNITIVE, AND SOCIAL SCIENCES TO PRODUCTS" is the single most important article I've seen this year if you are an IA or usability wonk. It's actually easier to read than it appears at first blush. I'm still processing and will blog, but why make you wait?

IA MATTERS
Goal-Oriented Navigation Design
"The role of an information architect often isn't fully understood, even within software and web development organizations. At one company I was sometimes introduced to teams as "our navigation guy." I'm actually okay with "navigation guy" as an informal working title, provided it comes with the understanding that navigation isn't something that can just be slapped onto a system, but rather one aspect of a broader user-centered design approach."
Welcome to the Stanford Persuasive Technology Lab. In our lab we research and design interactive technologies that motivate and influence users.
Influence at work
Influence is a rapidly expanding field of psychological inquiry devoted to discovering the principles that determine beliefs, create attitudes, and move people to action. In other words, influence examines the process that causes humans to change.
