Don't Make Me Click

[whiteshadow3000]

a great talk. too much trash in the comments unfortunately. I support Aza! The guy has got really good ideas

[flashdagger]

Don't make me click

Yeah, but make me scroll even more...

[CirkusBolgen]

@flashdagger Users don't mind scrolling as much as clicking. By far. (Scrolling can also be done everywhere on the page. Clicking requires precision.)

[faunflynn]

This is all old stuff.

[WafflesRDelicious]

Good title, terrible talk, if he didn't have a famous father no way anyone would listen to him

[flowewritharoma]

fascinating title name! I feel I would like to click this video glip.

[RyanSocratous]

Its weird seeing how many of these ideas given at tech talks are actually implemented. A great way of getting an outside perspective.

[bchbum1972]

Um 

[tezropunkel]

Uhm. Uhm. Uhm. Uhm. Uhm. Uhm. Uhm. Well. Uhm. Uhm. Uhm. Uhm.

[apnerve]

The infinite scroll idea is not that intuitive either. You still can't find the information that you saw earlier using this interface without scrolling like hell.

[vogella]

I think the presentation would largely benefit from a remote control for his slides. Otherwise really good.

[StR0cco]

Join toastmasters and quit saying "um" all the time.

[SoupFlies]

in page search should be as easy as just typing. the only pages where the typing would be replaced is filling out forms

[HELIOWITZ]

LOL AT THE BEGINNING THE GIRL SAID "And then he was SUCKED into Mozilla". LOLOLOLOL!!!

[RWOverdijk]

right. right. right. right. right. right. right. right. right. right. right. right. right. right. right. right. right. right. right. right. right. right. right. right. right. right. right. right.

[mogenshoj]

very nice demonstration at 36:02

[ChristopherDone]

Easy to understand but doesn't say much really. Nothing that Don't Make Me Think doesn't cover in detail and with application. I don't know why this guy is giving a talk.

[Drag0nR]

right right right lol

[irhusker]

horrible! he's a UI guy? OMG

[EasternMerchant]

I thought Eric Long from the Apple Commercials got a job with Mozilla, but I guess I was wrong. heh

[dielan44]

the dude's a genius

[coachz44]

for a UI guy that powerpoint looks like dump.

[ronaldviernes]

@coachz44 it's not a powerpoint, it's a presentation in the firefox browser.

[johnmacward]

Wow. Interesting and radical and technically nothing wrong with the concept.

[HunterDigi]

He said a site can be boring OR annoying... well, this vid is both :} no offence man, but talking is not your style :))

[meelash1]

okay, the Q/A was marginally better, and I guess the basic point is worth reminder.

But the kid is still a bit full of himself.

[meelash1]

This is actually pretty stupid. He's not a very intelligent speaker, most of his ideas are just regurgitated and dumbed-down versions of his dad's ideas. And he spent half the talk hitting on that chick in the front.

[TearKlaine]

Nihon go de ok :D hehe

[stevenredwards]

Boring

[lifeinsepia]

The reason NYT paginates the articles is because that's what print does - but why adhere to a dead medium?

[AwesomeFinder2]

who the hell watches an hour long youtube video?

[Greg2point0G]

People who are interested in things other than men getting hit in the groin by footballs.

[DCDistinct]

12:47 in india means i shower my blessing upon you.

[Assi2004]

he may be right for the normal (stupid) user

but not for any more advanced person that realy wants to do things

i dont wanna "click and boom its done"

i wana go and make all settings as i want them!

eg. video edit

the easy ones are the most crap, because i cant set what i want

the most complex ist too complex, but i just pick out what i need and thats it, i got everything i want, and - for the future - even much more

thats like the shovel... i dont just want a hole, i wana do whatever i want!

[lifeinsepia]

@Assi2004 Yeah, but you're talking about advanced software here. When you check your emails, do you want to have in input the pop and stmp server information each time? Do you want to have to manually collate all your threaded emails your self? The complexity if the interface should be proportional to the complexity of the operation it performs.

[BobbyRCane]

@Assi2004 That's a good point. Sometimes programs try to dig a hole where they think you will want it. But in reality you want it in a different place initially, a different place another time, and a different place than someone else altogether.

[Qules1onBoy]

whoa like 1hour im now watching the whole thing lol

[bytedildo]

good talk, but people just have to start laughing :)

[someman7]

the scrolling thing doesn't work. it's harder to find stuff. classic tabs are fine: if you want your scrolling, just scroll to the right, and not up - down, because you loose your place in previous page, and also page titles don't fit in vertical tabs so it's harder to differentiate tabs of different pages on the same website (like Youtube and different videos). scrolling is bad idea anyway. I think it's Opera, or some Mac browser can zoom out, and put your pages in a grid - that's visual.

[MyRoflCopt3r]

i love the part at 57:45

LOL!

[hkjels]

Good talk.

One thing : Download mega-zoom, that way you can run all your cocoa apps in fullscreen.

[anthonyhsiao]

Regarding his example about the trip planner UEx, check out the UEx of creating/planning trips on EnTrip! It's quite similar to what he mentioned, and really neat!

[cameronbrownrox]

how do u get 1 hour?

[drw0mbat]

Well! you get as many hours of video you want, if you own the company :-)

[dsakax]

omg, 1 hour of video in YouTube! What I have to do for that?

[onekopaka]

Buy google.

[alpha1beta3]

or work for them, like Aza Does

he works at google and mozilla, which are literally across the street from each other.

[tokotokotoko3]

If there would be a software to automatically cut out all times he said "right" in the speech, it would be really neat too. That makes it very hard to listen, although I find his content quite interesting.

[rahego]

As someone that is not in the "design business", for me this has been a very clear presentation, with few and well structured concepts. May be not that is "ready to use" for implementation... but I guess that is something he is (very well) paid for!

[fl1ckmasterflex]

Well reduction of choices means someone else made them for you. I dont know about the general public, but I would rather have more options than less.

[alightedme]

Nice !!! :)

Very informative. It removes many obvious perceptions about UI design. The presentation is nice and easy to understand. Keep it up, Google!

[rhaikh]

The content of this speech in terms of implementation and application is pretty slim, but I think the ideas behind it are very basic and yet unintuitive, which I believe is why he has chosen to devote most of the time to the fundamentals. I also don't think there's a short answer to the question, "This is all great, but what should I be using for my project?"

[Sniffy79]

This guy is a terrible speaking...umm..ahh...right...­I think this is cool...he sounds likes he's never passed high school English. His jokes are painful, his personal life examples are boring and his 3 letter acronyms (MIA, ZIA)are just lame. Wish he got to the point more.

[nickypickysticky8]

thats not nice.

[bobbyd510]

but true

[nickypickysticky8]

lol yea..

[jazzjackrabbits]

The original point is marked down, but those who agree with him are marked up

let's see what the peaceful observer gets

[bsbaixo]

Al Franken!

[richgustavson]

You have a stupid hat, right? You give very ambiguous answers, right? You say 'right' a lot, right?

[rubetux]

interesting material but there were too many um's and aah's in Aza's talk. My estimate is that there were more than 100 um's ...

[roadZdiver]

good speaker
