Operating systems endure crisis. All of them are similar against each other. The main thing that operating systems should do, it to allow the user to use all power of the computer. But it is necessary to do management convenient! This theme too is rather interesting to me. But I am interested in graphic interfaces more. About it I write in the blog (Other file explorer). It would be useful to unite our efforts. Write I will watch news Greetings!

There could word the idea better, yet it was real good, because I have already seen examples of the thing he was talking about and they impress. Just finished watching the speech.

Although connections between services could be a threat for security, we have to admit that it's darn great. I don't have to remember my Vimeo account login and password because I have a facebook account... Don't have to register for YouTube because I already have a gmail account. User experience-wise it's great. And whenever creating a new service one should stick to standards, right you are. There's no pint in think 'oh no, i'm not gonna share my users and content' - that's anti-internet thinking. :) will watch the presentation later... thanks for interesting stuff you put in you blog.

]]> Comment on Why a wireframe should be a wireframe – Reaction to Adobe Catalyst by Sun Sunich http://saasuserexperience.wordpress.com/2009/06/02/why-a-wireframe-should-be-a-wireframe-reaction-on-adobe-catalyst/#comment-55 Sun Sunich Wed, 09 Sep 2009 10:06:51 +0000 http://saasuserexperience.wordpress.com/?p=163#comment-55 Sounds fair. I have a lil' bit different situation maybe. For programmers to actually get to the programming stage, and to for me to make illustrated documentation prior to that, I need to have something at hand (like rough visio sketches). They're always quicker and easier to make than psd. Oh and testing requires the same sketches. I print them out for an early stage testing usually. Once again, a great advantage of digital sketch -- it can be easily transformed for testing purposes. :) Sounds fair. I have a lil’ bit different situation maybe.

Although quite often we go from sketch (normally 2 to 3 versions) to actual design (Photoshop) and skip the Visio altogether to save time. But problem that arises is that you never have an up to date version for communicating it before the visual design (Photoshop) is ready Very true.

Afterwards I usually create a Visio wireframe using a special sketch-looking stencils (kind of brushes). The board and sales love it and they don't get distracted with the looks that Axure or any other wireframe would have. The benefit of doodling in Visio is that you can easily relocate the elements after you change your mind and want to move 'this button here, and this panel there'. If i used pencil and paper prototype I would end up redrawing it like a hundred times.
