If there is one book you should read next, it’s “Letting Go of the Words” by Ginny Redish The other morning I changed my about section here on Bokardo to this: “Bokardo is a blog about interface design for social web sites and applications. I write about recommendation systems, identity, ratings, privacy, comments, profiles, tags, reputation, [...]
We’re building tools to watch the world change… Doc Searls has a wonderful post on his long-time meme: The Live Web. What I like about Doc is that he knows words matter. So when he talks about the Web he uses specific words and phrases that frame discussion. He says that when people treat their web [...]
Here are the slides from the talk I gave at d.Construct in Brighton a few weeks ago. Leveraging Cognitive Bias in Social Design View SlideShare presentation or Upload your own. (tags: dconstruct08 interface-design)
Is the future of design activity-centered? Quite some time back I argued that Information Architecture was the wrong frame in which to approach design. My post got a lot of push-back from the established IA crowd, who claimed that I was either wrong or claimed that my view was just rehashing existing debate. I probably deserved [...]

I’ve submitted two talks to SXSW 2009: Designing for Sign-Up This talk is for anybody who has ever had the problem of getting people to sign up for their web application. I got frustrated trying to find good resources on how to do this effectively that I decided to write it up myself. Managing Your Online Identity [...]
Robert Scoble has a nice piece on “passionates”, people who are early adopters of technology. He says that companies need to focus on passionates in order to drive their business forward, as non-passionates just don’t care enough to share and promote you. He makes a really good point: it’s better to have 100,000 passionate users [...]
In On the Internet, people know if you’re a dog, my friend John Eckman details an interesting situation which underscores the importance of identity and revealing who you are in appropriate places on the Internet. John wrote a great post the other day comparing some newly released features from the travel startup Dopplr with those [...]
Yesterday I wrote an unthoughtful post about an email I received from Slideshare. I analyzed the email as an interface and ended up calling it evil, pointing out that I wanted to find out more about something but had to commit to the invitation in order to do so. At the time, this frustrated the [...]
Update #2: Jon from Slideshare responds in the comments with excellent help. And in reflecting on this post…I realized it’s silly to call the design (or Slideshare) evil. This isn’t evil…it’s an interface. Update #1: There is indeed a group on Slideshare called Presentation Design Tennis. So the following email is true… I received an email [...]
This Thursday we’re holding the next North Shore Web Geeks Meetup, our monthly meeting for web geeks who live up in the Northeastern Mass/Southern New Hampshire area. This month we’re changing to a new format. So far we’ve been completely unformatted…everyone simply showing up and talking for a while. This has worked out well, but it [...]
Boston.com has a nice story on the growing trend of companies keeping real-time tabs on what their customers say on the Web: Hurry up, the customer has a complaint By using services like Twitter and Google blogsearch, companies can quickly respond to people who vent their frustrations. In some cases, they can actually provide real customer [...]
I heard a term the other day that I really liked: co-evolve. It was said in the context of humans and technology…humans and technology co-evolve together. In other words, we change technology by creating it, and then it changes us as we use it. And we both change in response to each other. Many times [...]
This is just too juicy to not share with everyone. Here’s a 2003 email from Bill Gates in which he vents his frustration with the Windows interface…in quite excruciating detail. Epic Bill Gates email rant Throughout the email Gates continually voices his frustration in trying to perform what he thinks should be straightforward tasks. My favorite [...]
