ABSTRACT
What's made Google search, Facebook, the iPod, and Firefox household names? They all keep interaction to a minimum. The best presentation of content is the one which requires the least number of clicks and choices. Information overload is daunting: Few clicks and choices means more people stay and use your site. Avoiding interaction seduction allows you to create interfaces that are easier to learn and faster to use with surprisingly delightful interfaces. As an example, we'll see what Google search would have looked like if the Lobby For Advancement Of Carpal-Tunnel Syndrome had got their way.
Speaker: Aza Raskin Aza gave his first talk on user interface at age 10 and got hooked. At 17, he was talking and consulting internationally; at 19, he coauthored a physics textbook because he was too young to buy alcohol; at 21, he started drinking alcohol and co-founded Humanized. Two years later, Aza founded Songza.com, a minimalist music search engine that had over a million song plays during it's first week of operation. After Humanized was sucked into Mozilla, Aza became Head of User Experience for Mozilla Labs. In another life, Aza has done Dark Matter research at both Tokyo University and the University of Chicago, from where he graduated with honors in math and physics. When not working (ha!) Aza enjoys playing music and punning.

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.
