Usability Quote of the Day

February 9, 2012

Most people who encounter computer-based automation at work do not choose the software with which they work, and have comparatively little control over when and how they do what they do. For them, the use of computers can be an oppressive experience, rather than a liberating one. -- Sarah Kuhn, Bringing Design to Software, edited by Terry Winograd, 1996    (via interaction-design.org)

Folksonomies and Google Maps?

Add another one to the earlier post: FoundCity. Foundcity lets folks “tag” physical objects in a database and displays the locations of the objects on a Map so that others can find them. Like the others, uses Google Maps.

The number of applications for Google Maps must be astoundingly high. And, since these interfaces are being created by individuals and at such an amazing rate, it must be pretty easy to tie into the API. (Via Bokardo)
