Right or Left SideBar for a browser based application

Hi All,

Is there a fresh/conclusive evidence about the placement of
secondary/contextual navigation on the right side of the screen? Will it
make a difference? I notice that most of the web 2.0 apps place them on the
right side and Vista/Office 12 is also moving towards the same direction,
but....!!

I read this report, but I feel it may be dated and users expectation may be
changing or being changed.

intra-page links and the (mythical) fold

I'll open with a firm conviction of mine: there is no fold. Web pages
don't fold. Newspapers fold. Common browser window sizes make for
interesting statistics, but I'd never recommend designing for just
one.

motivating new learning

Allow me a brief analogy. Imagine if you were driving your car, and
someone pointed out that if you shifted out of first gear, you could
travel much faster than 10 MPH. Sure, before you knew this, you were
driving, and "achieving your goals" (e.g. getting to work), but you
were hardly using the tool (your car) at its most effective level.

Let's forget about power users and keyboard shortcuts - I'm not
interested in GOMS or Fitt's Law level analysis.

My real concern is that software systems often have features that
people don't use, or don't use properly.

Shorthand for listing user actions from recordings

I posted this to another list and got no bites, so I
thought I would take a shot with the IxDA community!
- Russ

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Has anyone developed a "shorthand" or language for specifying user
actions in recordings?

IxDA Designers in Tennessee?

Are there any IA/IX/UX Designers on this list located in Tennessee? Preferably the Nashville area, but not necessary. I wanted to sit down with an actual designer to get face to face insight into this profession. My treat, you pick the restaurant.

Thanks.
