UX/Usability folks on Twitter

All,

Today I started making a list of the UX/usability folks on Twitter.
The list is here: http://bit.ly/UXTweeps

If you're not on it and you'd like to be, or if you're on it and you'd like
to be removed, please let me know. Or if you know someone I've missed.

Elizabeth

Password Masking and Chroma-Hash

An experiment from Mattt Thompson in how to visualize the input of
masked password fields:
http://mattt.github.com/Chroma-Hash/

Some explanation taken from his blog:

Chroma-Hash displays an ambient color representation of the input as
it is being typed.

Use Case 1: Login Check
If your password normally is represented as “red, purple, orange”,
and after you’ve finished typing you see “pink, green, grey”, you’ll
know you mistyped it somewhere along the way.

Design with Intent - How designers can influence behavior

Stumbled across this great article talks about new approaches to UX
design that allows designers not only to understand users' tasks and
behaviour and make products that comply with them but also to change
these behaviours. Three practices described — Persuasion Design,
Catalyst Design and Performance Design
