Welcome to my blog!
In a serious effort to dive head-first into the exciting world of IA and UX, a career field that I've become increasingly obsessed with over the past 6-8 months, I've decided to start my own blog/portfolio. The overall objective of this blog will not only be to share interesting articles/blogs/guides/books about IA and UX, but also to help others learn about a field that I find extremely fascinating (and maybe, showcase some of my own "just-because-I-like-to" work)!
So, to start things off with the user's experience in mind, I've just installed a great little tool called Snap Shots (inspired by Noesium's Blog!) that enhances links with visual previews of a destination site by simply hovering over the link! I think this adds a compelling experience for the user as it can bring you the information you need, without ever having to leave my blog, while other times it lets you "look ahead" before deciding if you want to follow a link or not.
However, should you decide this is not for you, just click the "Options" icon in the upper right corner of the Snap Shot and you may choose to opt-out. Enjoy!

Welcome to blogsphere! Thanks for following the Noesium's blog. Please feel free to contact me re: UX, IA and all related goodies. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks Evelyn! Actually, Noesium's blog is what inspired me to install Snap Shots! An edit to my post has been made...I'll remember next time to show credit where credit is due! =P
ReplyDeleteJulian,
ReplyDeleteGlad to be able to inspire - and look for inspirations here myself too.
Not sure where you are located, but there are lots of activities here in Toronto, if you are interested. I see that you have also discovered David Crow!
