Not ashamed that I both watched and laughed at Step Brothers on PPV

Amana has an 18 Cubic Ft. Dry Erase Refrigerator.  Pretty sweet idea.  Why didn’t Amana post product images or a gallery of it in use???  I volunteer to scribble user interface ideas all over it if they send me one.  Hey Amana…did you hear that?  Send me a fridge and I’ll instantly join your marketing team for free.

Fun concept.  Let’s see if it sticks.  Perhaps the next product innovation will be PostIt Toilet paper?

There’s a plethora of job titles floating out in the Webosphere.  I’ve been gathering them from things like LinkedIn, Search Engine Keywords, Job Boards and other Social Networking Tools.  I’m curious about how you or your organization has positioned your role within our collective profession.  Take a look at how I’ve started to organize the job titles above and let me know if I’ve missed something or if I’m way off the mark.  This is work in progress.

I operate under the “User Experience Strategist” moniker.  Let me explain why I’ve chosen that specific label.  I have a multidisciplinary approach to user experience opportunities.

I have backgrounds and expertise in the following:
- Visual Design and Communications
- Illustration
- Usability
- Information Architecture
- Interactive Marketing

I specifically selected “User Experience” because I’m passionate about looking across the experiences that human beings have with the Web, Email Marketing, Intranets, and Web Applications/Services.  I haven’t spent as much time in the mobile field, but it certainly relates as being a user experience.

I decided to use the label “Strategist” because I may be looking at applying my collective background, or I may only utilize Information Architecture.  As a strategist I look at a plan of attack or approach for the overall experience.

Any contributions you may have to this organic categorization will be helpful for us all.  My intention is to help better define how we talk about and position ourselves to clients, recruiters, and other business professionals.  Please leave a comment and even some rationale behind your title if you feel like it.  I’d love to update the mind map with new labels that haven’t been accounted for.  Reminder- this is how I’m looking at things.  How does your point of view differ?

A simple cut and pasted line of javascript code opens the door to observing user behavior on your site.  It captures mouseclicks, keystrokes and cursor activity.

Clever way to be a fly on the wall and nice logo as well.

Scrutinizer is web browser, based upon the Adobe AIR toolkit and the WebKit browser, that offers a simulation of the human visual system.  It helps you get a better grasp on how users might be looking at your site or application design.

This video is an interesting peek at the science about how we see and perceive information on screens and might help you plan how to organize, group or re-arrange some of the screen elements in your experiences.
