Mobility today means more than handsets in pockets. We are entering a world of ubiquitous network access to always-on cross-channel digital services, bringing multiple new dimensions of complexity to the job of user experience strategy and product design.
Quantified Self - The Human App InstrumentEnola Labs
The quantified self economy features several activity monitoring devices as well as hundreds of applications that can track several aspects of your life. Atomic Axis believes that the problem with these applications is that they are disparate. They function and churn data for an individual independent of the other facets of human existence. Sure, an app can tell you how long you slept last night and can even illustrate your sleep cycle in an impressive visualization and analytical interface—but can it extrapolate that information to tell you how that data will affect your mood, efficiency and behavior throughout the day?
The overall theme of their vision is that organizations are finding interesting ways to gather data and use that data to make predictions. As soon as we are able to find a meaningful way to correlate quantified self data, can we use that data in an effort to solve large scale health issues? Just as Google was able to predict flu trends using aggregated search queries, we can use aggregated health information to make certain predictions that can improve individual and certain demographic’s quality of life, reduce healthcare expenditures by understanding exactly where funds need to be allocated, and aid health professionals in their effort to detect, prevent and remediate any potential large scale health issue.
According to the Yankee Group 38% of American workers are already part of the mobile workforce, and that number is going to grow exponentially. Creating strategies to enable the mobile workforce is critical to enabling productivity of the modern workforce. Organizations need systems, processes, and managers who can manage the growing mobile workforce effectively. The webinar will discuss important factors in creating a mobile strategy
After completing this presentation, attendees will leave with a thorough understanding of:
Aligning mobile strategy with organizational strategy
Key triggers that drive a mobile strategy
How to get started on developing your mobile strategy
Measuring and driving ROI from a mobile strategy
Designing Social Interfaces - IxDA LA meetup, July 10, 2013Christian Crumlish
As we use social tools on the web, design patterns are emerging. Social design must be organic, not static, emotional, not data-driven. A social experience builds on relationships, not transactions.
Thirteen years ago Gayle Curtis likened a “Big Information Architect” to “an orchestra conductor or film director, conceiving a vision and moving the team forward.” In the meantime, different-sized IAs gave way to UX designers, but in some shops there is another central role: product manager.
What you may be surprised to learn is that a substantial part of a product manager’s job is…information architecture. Describing a landscape, ecosystem, or roadmap and communicating a set of goals and priorities requires the exact meaning-mapping skills that IA is all about.
This panel features three people trained in IA and UX who are now filling a product role, to discover whether this parallel between “big” IA and product holds in other contexts, to discuss potential career paths, and to take questions from an audience that might be intrigued by the relationship.
My keynote address from the fifth Italian Information Architecture Summit, wherein I talk about what information architects do, why I consider myself one, and what the future may look like.

Ukulele For Geeks: Secrets of the Pentatonic Scales (sxsw 2010)Christian Crumlish
At first glance the fretboard of a ukulele (or guitar) looks incomprehensible, but with the magic of pentatonic scales - ancient, nearly universal 5-note patterns, you can "crack the code" and hack the fretboard and start jamming along with your favorite tunes or musician friends in no time.
You don't need to know the names of the notes or what key a song is. Just find the little dippers and start messing around with patterns. I'll explain the concepts and demonstrate the techniques, which are completely self taught.
A series of talks I gave sponsored by the Yahoo! Developer Network, in London and Berlin, reviewing the history of UX design patterns and delving into the social design patterns project, isolating 5 principles, 96 patterns, and 5 anti-patterns

You could be a professional graphic designer and still make mistakes. There is always the possibility of human error. On the other hand if you’re not a designer, the chances of making some common graphic design mistakes are even higher. Because you don’t know what you don’t know. That’s where this blog comes in. To make your job easier and help you create better designs, we have put together a list of common graphic design mistakes that you need to avoid.
7. First things first…
• Research first
• Understand customers first
• Design a holistic experience first
• Without regard to devices or endpoints
• Platform first, APIs first
13. Some (painful) lessons learned
• Refactoring to a single codebase across device form
factors
• App store hassles
―The install process is the worst on-boarding ever invented by
man‖ — Bill Scott
• Getting instrumentation right
• ―Going Mobile‖ – regularly walk around with the mobile
device, using phone connectivity, and try to GSD.
16. Map the ecosystem
• Product as service
• Device-agnostic experiences
• Concept modeling
• Extended user journeys
• Meet the user where they are
―speak‖ email
provide value before requiring commitment
18. Always work in parallel
Regardless of the ―main‖ task, always consider
Orientation
Browser and native apps
Multiple operating system styles and conventions
Successive versions of OSes, devices, browsers
Device fragmentation
All form factors
…when designing your holistic UX
28. ―[Tablet-first design] brings into account things like swipe….
―Then if you start from there, then the mobile experience becomes a
relatively simple space-constrained version of the design, while the
desktop experience nicely generalizes this is what you do with the
mouse. But the devil’s in the details.‖

30. For devices that hit the market just three years ago, they're doing pretty well,
generating 8 percent of all Internet traffic. By Dara Kerr March 7, 2013 5:19 PM PST
The numbers are out -- people increasingly prefer to browse the Internet on
tablets rather than smartphones.
http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57573182-94/tablets-surpass-
smartphones-in-driving-global-web-traffic/
31. What type of experience?
• Focused, direct task?
Start with handheld
Get the basics right
Optimize the core experiences
• Creative, visually complex, spatially expansive task?
Start with tablet
(Especially for generative work, space matters)
Then expand the design ―down‖ (to mobile)
And ―up‖ to desklap
32. Tablet First benefits
• design ―from the middle out‖
• focus on a medium form factor
• support for portability
• think in terms of gestures
• address a mixed paradigm
• Recommendation:
– Prototype tablet experiences in the browser
– Tools like http://draggabilly.desandro.com/ can help with this
This is a longstanding venerable form factor, both portable and suitable for getting things done. This Roman-era tablet requires a stylus (pre-Steve Jobs).
For a visitor to Israel, getting through the passport line on arrival is a terrible first-time user experience. With 10 or more lines, one is nearly always in a slow one. A single snaking line looks worse but works much better. The Israelis in the audience don’t experience this and may not be aware of it. The lesson is to understand your users when their experiences are different from your own.
We thought people were *much* less likely to attempt editing and creation tasks on the tiny phone screen than they actually were.

LukeW offers many suggstions for how responsive designs might stack up in different layouts, all sharing the same information hierarchy.Investigate adaptive design for similarly responsiveness in client apps.
This is a CloudOn user on an airplane trying to reach our cloud services with iffy wifi.
Always consider portrait, landscape AND transitions between orientations

When developing for iOS and Android, how to balance the OS standards of each, while maintaining a unique style for your product?There’s no easy answer
the site has been rebuilt with a tablet-first approach, meaning that instead of starting with a PC and browser as our reference and then scaling that design down to mobile devices, our designers and engineers used mobile as a starting point and worked out from there
Kunesh: All of the web applications we built used responsive design [where the application reformats to the device being used], and most of them were built to target tablets first, then phones and laptops.
