Since I live in a rural area, Amazon is an extremely convenient addition to my life as I can easily buy stuff without having to drive 12-15 miles away to buy electronics or graphic novels. With Amazon's Prime membership, which costs $80 a year, it includes free, speedy shipping (only two days from purchase, sometimes sooner) and being able to stream some movies for free on your computer. … more

As my headline suggests, Josh Clark brought the fundamental concepts of Steve Krug to bear on the mobile space. Not only did he show how to make intuitive interfaces for the mind, but given the mobile medium, how to make them fluid and unobtrusive for the fingers. It was an inspiring talk. Definitely, one of my favorite from SXSW, and I feel sorry for all those suckers who … more

Who is this resource appropriate for? This book is great for anyone who is just learning UX and basic design principles or even for the more seasoned designer. If you are looking to get into interface design, this book is a great resource of examples and best practices. What other resources are similar? Any of the 37siganls books are centered … more

Fast Company is a solid magazine that leans nicely on the business of design rather than specific tactics. The publication's website is fresh, up to date, and all over the place in a good way. It's a solid read for UXA's looking to spread their mental wings and break from the minutia of day-to-day tactics.

i also like to shop on Amazon but I only look for stuff I need. But Woot is different. There i buy stuff i didn't know I needed. So i check woot.com every day. Most of the offerings are not for me but there are some amazing deals. I just wish they would do away with the goofy BS and go right to the product description.

Fast Company is a magazine that focuses on recent trends in business and technology from a very socially-conscious point of view. The design and format of the magazine are very appealing, and before I subscribed to it I would regularly browse it at "Borders" or "Barnes and Noble." Since I am a gadget freak, the section on the latest products and tools was always one of my favorites. The magazine tends … more

It's admirable to see that so many people love Amazon.com. I really enjoy the place. I showed up to Amazon in September of 2000. My first review was of a strategy guide. It's still there. The horrible paragraph of a review... the type of review I'd later come to hate. I didn't actually make my first transaction from Amazon until about 2006. Plenty here … more

I've been a customer of Amazon's since it opened, and over the last decade it's incredible to see how they've developed. What started as a simple but well-built online bookstore has emerged as the premier destination for practically everything imaginable, yet they've retained the ease-of-use, developed customer communities and practically invented the concept of online consumer reviews. I … more

I admit it, I have a problem...I'm addicted to Amazon.com. If I'm on my computer, 95% of the time, I'm looking at Amazon, or if I'm not looking at Amazon, I just finished. I started with books. I've purchased dozens of books through Amazon. They have a mind-boggling selection & you can get them for much, much less than at a regular book store (even with shipping costs included). … more

Being both an avid reader and record collector I have been doing business with Amazon.com since I got my very first computer back in 1997. I have always found the product selection to be second to none, the prices to be reasonable and the service first-rate. What's not to like? While I still do enjoy shopping at brick and mortar stores like Borders and Barnes … more

I check Amazon.com first.. then a bunch of price comparing sites like pricegrabber.com, search.live.com/cashback, gazaro.com, then a lot of times I come back to Amazon.com to purchase it.. In many many cases it has the best prices plus it's got free shipping on most of the purchases over $25. Â I actually order minimum of $25 all the time to get the free shipping.. he he And as … more

Amazon is the online giant that has spawned a number of imitators.....but none are equal to the original. It started as a gleam in a man's eye, Jeff Bezos, to create an online bookstore. Well, that was 1994 and fifteen years later Amazon is the world's largest online retailer crushing all competitors under an iron fist that nets more than 20 billion annually. Amazon is the iconic company of the Internet … more

Homage to @arichards Why shop at Amazon.com you ask? It makes shopping for gifts, so easy and fast. Based in New York with cheap shipping that's short No tax you will pay, free shipping: 2-days. As a man who hates lines, the mall makes me whine. I'd rather rest easy and have UPS bring me the gifts I buy … more

Like the title says, Amazon is like an online mall. I've ordered everything from vitamins to japanese mangas from them before. In fact, I don't buy anything I don't need immediately from retail stores anymore. I've avoided all the best buys, targets, walmarts, etc. I love the convenience of just searching for it and have the item with descriptions and reviews pop up right in front of me. If I decide … more

If you want to design quality websites and haven't read this book you are doing your visitors a disservice. It's that simple. Don't Make Me Think is well written, well structured, easy to read and short. It covers usability the way we should design sites, with a just enough content, easily digested and quick to consume. You could get the same content elsewhere but it would be a lot more work and a … more

posted in Cafe Libri: Reviewing Books & More
If I read a book on web design or web usability, the thing that will turn me off the quickest is the dogmatic rantings of a self-proclaimed "expert" on the subject. It's far too easy to call one's preferences "best practices" and think that everyone needs to conform to them. Hate it, hate it, hate it! So why did I pick up and read Don't Make Me Think : A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability (2nd … more
