Book: Simple Visualization Techniques for Quantitative Analysis by Stephen Few

More on Visual Business Intelligence

We are overwhelmed by information, not because there is too much, but because we don't know how to tame it. Information lies stagnant in rapidly expanding pools as our ability to collect and warehouse it increases, but our ability to make sense of and communicate it remains inert, largely without notice.

Perceptual Edge focuses on the tools and techniques of visual business intelligence to help you make better use of your valuable information assets.

When the phone rings, turn your finger ring into an earring

0orb-bluetooth-headest-1.jpg

When the phone rings, turn your finger ring into an earring - Core77: "Too cool to be true? The Orb Bluetooth headset folds neatly into a ring you can wear on your finger when it's not in use. A tiny FOLED (that's flexible organic light-emitting diode) display shows caller ID and calendar info. To activate the headset, you just twist it from a ring into an 'S' and stick it in your ear; it receives your audio via bone conduction."

Layers in Google Maps Mobile

Official Google Mobile Blog: Layers of fun in Google Maps for mobile 3.2: "Just as the world itself can be viewed through many lenses, the latest version of Google Maps for mobile allows you to view many layers of information on your map at the same time. Layers make it easier and more useful to find and interact with geographic content, like public transit, traffic (with incidents!), local search results, Latitude friend locations, Wikipedia and more. You can also see your own My Maps content as a layer on Google Maps for mobile. And finally, multiple layers can be combined at the same time to give you a content-rich view of what's around you."

JoinMe answers the question: “Where are you?”

"Have you ever been waiting for someone and wondered if they were close by or how long it would be until they arrived?"

JoinMe allows you to track the person you're waiting for in real time, see how far they are and how fast they're walking/running/driving to meet you. JoinMe is very simple to use--one button only--and respectful of your privacy: the localization request has to be approved before any information is sent; and as soon as one of the two people disconnects, information is no longer transmitted.

Social Media Marketing boomt

Das sind doch mal schöne Aussichten für mich und alle, die sich Web2.0 auf ihre virtuellen Visitenkarten schreiben. Forrester Research hat in ihrem neuen Interactive Marketing Forecast bekannt gegeben, dass die Ausgaben für Social Media Marketing in den nächsten fünf Jahren um 34 Prozent steigen werden. Das bedeutet: Social Media hat die größte Wachstumssteigerung als alle anderen Formen des Online-Marketings.

Social Media Marketing boomt: Laut neusten Studien steigen die Ausgaben auf $3.1 Billionen bis 2014

Wie sieht man als Blinder das Internet?

Wie sieht man als Blinder das Internet? - ein Interview mit vier sehbehinderten Internetexperten - Knetfeder Magazin

: "Das, was früher behindertengerecht hieß, hat die euphemistische Tretmühle durchlaufen und firmiert heute unter dem politisch korrekten „barrierefrei“. Intuitiv denkt man an Rollstuhlrampen und breite WCs mit vielen Haltegriffen am Waschbecken. Doch Barrierefreiheit fängt schon dort an, wo man sie als Nichtbetroffener womöglich gar nicht wahrnimmt oder zumindest für nicht so wichtig erachtet: im Internet."

Und:

iPhone apps seeking to ease blind/deaf interaction - Core77: "Remember Bruno Fosi's iPhone case for the blind? He's not alone in trying to develop iPhone tools for the different-abled and those that interact with them: There's iVisit's SeeScan, an app that uses the camera to identify objects it's pointed at and speaks their names aloud, and Izatt International's Bumps, which helps the sight-enabled learn Braille.

Izatt has another flashcard-style app called Fingerspell, which is basically the same as Bumps but helps users learn sign language.

Lastly, the soundAMP app is designed to turn your iPhone into a hearing aid. Using the built-in mic (or an external, up to you), it simply turns the phone into a large speaker, amplifying everything it picks up. I'm not crazy about the interface, pictured up top--too many bezels, bevels, shadows and reflections for me--but the intent is admirable."

The New Practice of User-Centered Design

We have been operating under the assumption that the primary challenge is to convince businesses to focus on fulfilling user needs with higher quality products, with more meaningful experiences? But what if the 'users' themselves are the problem?
