Examples of sites w/ dashboard info

Hi all,

I'm trying to come up with some ideas on how to present a user's status
quickly. I'm looking to show information such as how many calories a user is
allowed today and all week and how much of each stat is remaining. Are there
any sites that show numerical status that anyone can think of? Any help
would be great!

Thanks!
Lis

research on taxonomy of info display on small screen devices

Hi,

could a few of you point me towards what you consider to be good
information (research papers, books, examples, etc) on proven or just
highly useful techniques to display taxonomies of information on small
screen devices? My assumption is that what works for web pages on a
laptop or desk computer screen is not a 1:1 correlation of what works
the best for small screens.

petition to Omni: graffle based prototyping tool

Hi,

I am an UX Designer and much of my work gets done in OmniGraffle. What I
really would love to see is an app, that would extend Graffles wireframes
into animated and interactive prototypes.

How do you keep track of suggested changes tointeraction designs?

Don't all laugh, but my best friend in these circumstances is a wall.

I like to use walls, as big as possible. Size totally matters. If you have an office that gives you the kind of space you need and the kinds of colleagues that won't mind your special take on interior decoration, then you might find it really useful to map the interface to a wall, annotating it with notelets or whatever else works. I use A1 standard paper in landscape (recycled of course!).

This all started because, like many folks, I often use a wall to do labelling exercises.

CFP: CHI 2009 Workshop: Best Practices in Longitudinal Research

[Extended] Submission Deadline: Monday 24th November, 2008, 5pm PDT

Workshop overview
------------------
Traditional user research and evaluation methods tend to focus on
'first-time' experiences with products, which trends the results towards
discoverability problems, rather than usability concerns that may persist
over time.

New Gmail themes

What does everyone think about the new Gmail themes?

Personally I'm not a fan - there's a lot of extra visual noise and the
contrast is poor on many of them.

It's a shame there's no (working) option to opt out or switch to the old
version, which I find particularly strange considering it's the primary
email client for a lot of organisations.

I understand that Google are supposedly trying to shake off Gmail's "nerd"
image but all of a sudden it feels a little like... MySpace.
