2013 marked another year of frenzied growth in the land of experience design. As connectivity has increased and mobile saturation has become a global reality, users expect more ease and sophistication than ever.

Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Great post if not for the faint of heart:

Context Aware
Google Now caused two shifts in the context-aware space by 1) Providing all the right data, and 2) Taking design very seriously. Beyond the interface, context-aware computing calls for a deep examination of user behavior and complex interaction patterns. This blend of data and design is the essence of the context-aware computing trend as it relates to user experience.

This is the beginning of "semantic web" ad an article well worth reading more than once.

Why You Need User Experience Thinking - Kluge Interactive

Why You Need User Experience Thinking - Kluge Interactive | BI Revolution | Scoop.it

My friend Dean Peters is right. YOU may have been your website's users at some distant point. Not so much now. Internet marketing teams look at their creation constantly. 

Let's call the resulting "snow blindness" Internet marketing blindness because the closer a team is to a website the less they see or can see. Great Tweet from IM Guru @DeanPeters.  

 

Here is Dean's note from LinkedIn: 

"*Why Do You Need #UserExperience Thinking* ? Because You are not your Users, and I quote: "Many people think they know their customer. Often, they don’t. In the User Experience (UX) Community, we are fond of saying ' _you are not your user_ .' Repeat that mantra over and over until you live it..

Be sure to follow Dean on Twitter. One of those rare people who every time you interact with him you LEARN something. M
