I bookmark a lot of pages and sites which I find interesting, inspirational and informative every day! I’d like to share some of them with you here. In general they are about user experience, usability, UCD, accessbility and design. In general, but not always!!

  • How content strategy fits into the user experience | Blog | Nick Finck | UX/IA Pro, Speaker, and Community Cultivator.
    A good portion of my talk covers workflow process and deliverable that are covered in greater detail in Kristina Halvorson’s book Content Strategy for the Web and Information Architecture for the World Wide Web by Peter Morville and Louis Rosenfeld.
  • Putting content back on top
    Now is the opportune time for us to start taking our content seriously.

  • Where business analysis and user experience intersect: the benefits of collaboration
    According to Harvard Business Review editor Julia Kirby, 2010 may be the year for a resurgence in companies reconnecting with their users and focusing on user experience, but don’t forget about business analysis! It’s the BA’s job to ensure that the issues and business objectives are understood.

  • Content strategy and customer service: A talk with Ann Rockley
    Apparently, you can be a content strategist without knowing it. In June of 2008, after years of working as a writer, I got tapped by a recruiter looking to fill a content strategist position at eBay. Looking at the job description, I wouldn’t even have guessed I was qualified. After some tests and an interview, I was hired. I learned a tremendous amount, and got a taste of the many applications of content strategy to a large ecommerce site. By the time this piece is published, I’ll have rejoined eBay as a content strategist for a second contract.
