While I was still wait­ing for Feed­Lounge to launch and release me from the agony that is Blog­lines’ user expe­ri­ence — Google launch­es their Read­er. I quick­ly import­ed my feeds, and am toy­ing with it now. At first sight, their inter­face encour­ages quick brows­ing of new entries. I’m still not sure about how easy it is to label spe­cif­ic feeds though…

One Sky Orig­i­nal­ly uploaded by Kaeru.

Anoth­er cool project on Flickr: One Sky asked Flickr users to take a shot of their sky on the 1st of octo­ber and upload it to the group pool. It seems they’re plan­ning on mak­ing a huge col­lage of all the pho­tos. can’t wait to see the result!

Jesse James Garrett is coming to Amsterdam

User Expe­ri­ence guru Jesse James Gar­rett will give a full day sem­i­nar on user expe­ri­ence design on Novem­ber 7 of this year. The entrance fee is a bit steep, but I’m sure it’ll be worth it. Accord­ing to Peter Boers­ma, the event is a must for IA’s and UX design­ers, so it’s hard to resist going! 

Blurb from the Adap­tive Path site: 

Using Jesse James Garrett’s renowned “Ele­ments of User Expe­ri­ence” and “Nine Pil­lars of Suc­cess­ful Web Teams” mod­els, you’ll learn how to design web­sites & prod­ucts that meet your users’ and your orga­ni­za­tion’s needs through apply­ing user-cen­tered design principles.
I added this event to Upcoming.org!

This year the first Euro­pean Infor­ma­tion Archi­tec­ture Sum­mit will be held in Brus­sels, Bel­gium on Octo­ber 15–16. I’ll be there to present a poster togeth­er with Almar van der Krogt on an inter­est­ing nav­i­ga­tion con­cept we devel­oped for a large mar­ket­ing web­site. If you’re an IA, or are involved in the struc­tur­ing of infor­ma­tion for online media, then this is def­i­nite­ly the event for you!

Update: added the tag ‘Euro IA Sum­mit 2005’
