Life, culture, and context of use for end users in the emerging markets are

Need Research based guidelines for IA and Design Framework

Hi,

Has anyone came across some research based guidelines for IA and

For one project I need to justify design with the help of some

layouts, navigation structure, etc)

Thanks in advance.

Core77 equivalent for interaction design?

In the industrial design world, http://www.core77.com/ is the 800-lb gorilla of industry news, information and cool stuff. In interaction design, it's obviously the IxDA list, but its not quite the same since it's user-generated content, versus more of a news bureau approach.

Sparkline filtering

Any good examples out there of sparkline filtering? I pitched this
concept to Delta 4 years ago and it did not go anywhere. I had yet to
see it until this morning looking for a new refrigerator on the LG
site.

Anyone else out there see examples of this?

The Perpetual Scrolling Web Pages

I've been noticing more and more Ajax powered pages where at the end
of the normal page end a call is made to fetch more content and is
added to the bottom of the page, in essence making the page longer on
the fly. A good example of this is on http://www.haystack.com
Twitter and Facebook do something similar but a button or link is
needed to expand the content.

I can a usability issue with clicking on a link and then having the
back button not return you to the same 'long' page you left from.
