How Amazon.com Plans for Stupid Users
I am an Amazon.com shopper, and I am stupid.
A couple weeks ago I participated in a focus group for the Intel website (more on that in another post), in return for which I received a $75 gift certificate to Amazon.com. Hurrah! I went onto the site and shopped: books, a couple new French presses, an electric tea kettle. I spent something like $78, which meant only $3 out of pocket.
Except that I went through the whole purchasing process and forgot to enter the coupon… Continue

Facebook's Redesign
I'm working a lot with social networking apps lately, so I spend time every day on Facebook, MySpace, Orkut, Hi5, and Bebo.

I teach Introduction to User-centered Design at the Art Institute of Tampa. The syllabus requires I "define a website mission" which becomes "the" project for students. In the past I've selected specific websites for them to run through a redesign process from the users' perspective. As they are doing this they are introduced to concepts, theories and practices to guide them.
Okay, now w/ that background out of the way, I am considering a 'mission' to redesign (home page) one a social networking app. Ning was already in my thoughts. What do you think? Any other recommendations? I'd welcome input and I can also be contacted at lisakayharris@gmail.com or
lkharris@aii.edu.
Cheers/thx
Lisa
