Usability Quote of the Day

February 3, 2012

The public is more familiar with bad design than good design. It is, in effect, conditioned to prefer bad design, because that is what it lives with. The new becomes threatening, the old reassuring. -- Paul Rand    (via interaction-design.org)

The potential of Maps

Maps are usually implemented as a destination instead of an inline service; Look for the data you're looking for, then get the map of where it is at the end. Some very clever people have hacked Google Maps to get around this pattern of thinking, and in so doing have made the coolest thing I've seen on the web this month, or maybe longer.
