As a professional web developer you are the advocate of your visitors’ interests and needs; you have to protect your understanding of good user experience and make sure the visitors will find their way through (possibly) complex site architecture. And this means that you need to be able to protect your position and communicate your ideas effectively — in discussions with your clients and colleagues. In this context nothing can support you more than the profound knowledge of fundamental issues related to your work. In this article we present 30 important usability issues, terms, rules and principles which are usually forgotten, ignored or misunderstood.

275 Flickr Mashups In the past few weeks we’ve seen an influx of new mashups built on the Flickr API, bringing the total number of Flickr-based mashups listed on PW to 275 (click here to see all 275). And it’s not that Flickr is the only photo API out there. Far from it, we have 24 photo APIs in our directory. Flickr Wrappr: Uses the DBpedia API and for each of the 1.95 million DBpedia concepts, the wrappr generates a collection of flickr photos that depict the concept, utilizing multilingual labels and geo-coordinates provided in Wikipedia entries. Europe Photo Helix: A helix designed of Flickr photos of Europe. Flickr Mania: Flickr browser that also lets you geo-tag Flickr photos via a GPS track file. Both comments and pings are currently closed.

 Scrapbookgraphics- Computer Scrapbooking Digital Scrapbooking Laura’s Notebook | Technology for Non-profit Organisations, Soci There’s been much excitement in the media during the past week about a new widget application called Sprout. It aims to be an easy to use Flash based interface with simple drag-and-drop features, to build live, interactive multimedia content that can easily be added to any web page. Once a user publishes a Sprout widget, it can be copied to any website in much the same way as an embedded YouTube video clip. If you make updates to your ‘Sprout’ when logged into your account, it will update on all of the websites you have embedded your homegrown sprout on. Quick and easy. It’s still in closed beta stage currently, but you can sign up now ready for when it gets to public release. I ran a workshop for non-profits earlier this week on the topic of getting a website for organisations, focussing on many of the free or quick ways available to get an online presence easily. Above is a screenshot of the Sprout home page. Just take a look at the Sprout home page when viewed through a Lynx viewer.

A reputation economy via "via:"?: aqualung As posted at the end of last year, 2006 was the year I really got into del.icio.us, in large part due to Cote' pointing me to the "for:" tag (the other large part due to the Firefox extension for replacing the standard bookmarks with del.icio.us tags). The corollary to "for:" is "via:" - if somebody tags something "for:aqualung:" and I like it, I save it too, add some tags of my own, and tip the hat with (for example) "via:JamesGovernor". Go search del.icio.us for THAT tag, and you find (at time of writing) there are 113 occurrences - 113 times that James has alerted somebody to something of interest that the somebody has appreciated, AND tagged it with the "via:". Anyway - this is the sort of idea that pops into my head when woken for work at 3:30am ... vintage has well and truly started. [Aside: my Redmonk schwag arrived today - Flickr pix when I get time to take them!]
