What A Difference A Decade Makes - The Internet 2002-2012

What A Difference A Decade Makes - The Internet 2002-2012 | Design, Science and Technology | Scoop.it
From venturebeat.com - August 19, 2012 7:45 AM

A decade -- 10 years. Doesn't sound like much, right?
But a decade ago, the big social networking story was Friendster with a whopping 3 million users. Microsoft's Internet Explorer had 95 percent ...

10 years, 3,652 days, 87,648 hours.

A lot has changed since Apple was touting a new 700 MHz iBook and iPhoto 1.1.

Blockbuster went from $5.5 billion in revenue to a big bloody hole in the ground, and Yahoo went from Internet behemoth to will-Marissa-Mayer-be-able-save-it.

Internet design is an ever evolving field. New and emerging technologies continue to dictate designs across the web. And in just 10 short years, the internet has evolved into a more efficient way of gathering information. And the evolution comes first through smart web design. You may look back at websites from years ago and see blocks of text and blue links, but now, designers have made site navigation a lot more easy and a lot more clear. This Infographic will take you on a journey to the past, where web pages had no pictures (slower internet speeds back then) and where everything looked like it was just copied and pasted onto the website.

In a glorious animated GIF from BestedSites: The change a decade makes in Internet time.

What Type of Social Media Personality Are You?

What Type of Social Media Personality Are You? | Design, Science and Technology | Scoop.it
From mashable.com - August 13, 2012 11:55 PM
The Myers-Briggs Indicator tests psychological traits per individual. Turns out, your specific indicators inform how you use social media.


In 1921, psychologist Carl Jung changed the fundamentals of his field. By distributing a psychometric test called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator to patients, Jung claimed he could accurately boil down the psychological types of humans into 16 major categories.


This Infographic is based on data by CPP, publishers of the Myers-Briggs personality assessment, details the qualifiers for each of the test’s characteristics, but furthermore, predicts the psychological types most likely to participate on specific social networks. More extroverts reported using Facebook than introverts, for instance. And people with inclinations toward Feeling spend more time browsing and interacting with people on Facebook, rather than those who tend toward Thinking.

The Power Of First Impression

The Power Of First Impression | Design, Science and Technology | Scoop.it
From www.webs.com - August 16, 2012 5:30 AM

Have you ever wondered which elements of your website make the biggest impression?

 

This Infographic by Webs is based on a recent Eye-Tracking Study conducted by the Missouri University of Science and Technology:

For their research, Sheng and Dahal enlisted 20 Missouri S&T students to view screenshots, or static images, of the main websites from 25 law schools in the U.S. 

The participants spent an average of 20 seconds on each website.

 

The website sections that drew the most interest from viewers were as follows:

The institution's logo. Users spent about 6.48 seconds focused on this area before moving on. The main navigation menu. Almost as popular as the logo, subjects spent an average of 6.44 seconds viewing the menu. The search box, where users focused for just over 6 seconds. Social networking links to sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Users spent about 5.95 seconds viewing these areas. The site's main image, where users' eyes fixated for an average of 5.94 seconds. The site's written content, where users spent about 5.59 seconds. The bottom of a website, where users spent about 5.25 seconds.

 

Although use of color was not part of the eye-tracking study, participants indicated that it did influence their impressions of websites.

 

"Participants recommended the main color and background color be pleasant and attractive, and the contrast of the text color should be such that it is easier to read," Dahal wrote in her master's thesis, titled "Eyes Don't Lie: Understanding Users' First Impressions on Website Design Using Eye Tracking."

 

The use of images was also an important factor in web design, the subjects of the study said.

 "You must choose your main picture very carefully," Sheng says.

"An inappropriate image can lead to an unfavorable response from viewers."

Colors and images utilized play a vital role when it comes to creating favorable responses

I Know What You Did On The Web

I Know What You Did On The Web | Design, Science and Technology | Scoop.it
From www.baynote.com - August 19, 2012 3:35 AM

The sites you frequent are actively tracking information about you.

 Companies have access to your personal data.

Some collect information you expressly give them, like your credit card and telephone numbers. Others gather data based on how and where you use their services. This might include anything from device and browser information to location intelligence.

Depending on the type of information gathered, social networks use data to enhance location services and target advertising.

This Infographic by Baynote, explains why your web browsing and online interactions have become much more personalized based on their paper "The Human Need for Personalization: Psychology, Technology and Science" which defines the psychology, technology and science that underlie a shopper’s desire for a personalized ecommerce experience.

How do you feel having a highly customized experience, knowing it’s your data that’s making the difference?

From www.tripwiremagazine.com - August 16, 2012 6:16 AM
Large collection of hand-picked examples of infographical maps for you inspiration and learning...

Infographics are being used more and more to deliver complex and detailed data in a very interactive and easy to consume way.

 

Today information graphics surround us in all kinds of media, e.g. in printed magazines, in advertising but certainly also online.

 

Events like Olympics 2012 have been analysed from all angles and described in various Olympics Infographics.

 

However for Marketers Infographics help deliver a clear message effectively and allow for certain aspects to be highlighted…

One of the most typical uses of Infographics is to present demographic data and map illustrations tend to be really useful.

Here,  Lars Vraa of Tripwire, has found some excellent examples of Infographical Maps for your inspiration. Enjoy!

The Marketing Paradox

The Marketing Paradox | Design, Science and Technology | Scoop.it
From www.smartinsights.com - August 11, 2012 8:12 AM

Differentiation vs Amplification

Smart Insights share Seth Godin’s Circles of Marketing blog post because of the simplicity of the message, the focus on the fundamentals, Seth’s strength.

Jeff Seaver produced a slicker PDF version here .

 

The Marketing Paradox

Seth has described something of a modern marketing paradox and  here it has been expanded and illustrated it further. Believing that the marketing paradox that we face is Differentiation and Longevity vs Amplification and Speed.

Does the marketer seek genuine differentiation or does he or she chase an opportunity to measurably amplify the brand?

The latter is realistically faster, it’s what’s expected, and just maybe you get a bit of luck or already have a great product, in which case amplification can then work for sure.

Yet the inner rings are defensible, considered, harder and longer lasting.

They’re also the base to upon which you can amplify and unfortunately they’re increasingly out of the direct control of many marketers, driven by other stake-holders or business directors.

Inspired by Seth Godin

Seth recommends moving one circle inwards when your marketing isn’t working, it seems obvious, so why do we see even experienced marketers stuck in the outer rings?

Seth reckons it’s amateur marketers, maybe. We could deliberate for days on why, but we feel that it’s quite simply fear.

A fear of changing from “what’s always worked”?

Maybe there’s a pressure from upstairs for marketers to deliver short-term results forcing short-term thinking to demonstrate some form of ROI sooner rather than later?

You have the choice.

Hopefully this  interpretation adds to the original and helps prompts different thinking

Note:  The marketing circles were tweaked slightly from Seth’s, that ‘Story’ and ‘Community’ really warranted their own place.

While the information architect’s skillset is well-suited for this new challenge, our existing tools are not.
