Quick Chat #6: Usability and Psychology
My personal belief is that, with grassroots empowerment provided by
web 2.0 and mashups, the concept of usability in applications grows in
importance and that usability could go much further then how aesthetic
a web page is. There is a rich discipline in psychology that has been
applied in several other industries and seems ripe to apply to the
world of new collaborative tools. Paul, a colleague of mine showed me
a presentation on this that re-emphasized the power of colour (amongst
several other concepts) as a means for recollection and understanding.
Unfortunately his copy was in black and white, but I did get the
concepts... Looking forward to the colour version!
