Hi all,
We the UX team at Samsung India Software Operations is in the process
of conducting a survey to understand energy conservation practices, or
energy consumption patterns globally. It would be great help if you
could answer the survey (25 questions) and have some of your friends
or colleagues answer it as well.

JJG's IA Summit 2009 Keynote

The longer that thread gets, the crankier I get, so I'm starting a new one
specifically to talk about Jesse James Garrett's talk at the IA Summit last
weekend. It's what he wanted us to do, anyway.

Flowchart: action box or decision box?

I'm doing an exercise to practice the design of task flow. I have one
step which has 5 options in it. And the user is supposed to choose one
and move forward. In this case, shall I use the diamond decision box
or the rectangular action box to illustrate this step? I googled a
little bit. And it seems that the outcome of a diamond box is usually
YES or NO instead of options. Where can I find more complicated
samples for learning purpose? Thanks.

Why Left Search Buttons Perform Faster Than Right

Research has shown that having or not having a search button makes no difference to pro users. However, for novice users, right search buttons are generally slow and inefficient. To me, the solution is simple. A left search button reduces visual fixations, puts the label first and makes doing searches faster for users.

Pagination

I have read several design patterns for pagination, and they all say
to format page links like so:

previous link, page links, next link

I am wondering if this is really the best way to organize this. I
have always thought that page links and previous/next links should be
kept separate. Like so:

page links (left aligned) previous link, next link (right
aligned)

When I am moving through pages, I an either I am looking for
something in a certain page range or I just want to move through
pages in order.

How do you do heuristic evaluations? Examples?

Sorry if this is a double post, I can't seem to locate my original posting
from my other email.

I've done about a dozen heuristic evals, they've usually been pretty high
level. An internal client has considered going with Forrester to get some
'web site reports' they offer, but my boss would rather they use us,
internally, of course to do the same work. Certainly we can do it.

He wanted to know if the evaluations could be more polished or detailed. So
my question is what heuristics do you usually test against? Do you lay those
out in your document and then answer them by group?
