UX vs. Product Design vs. UI: The Never-Ending Battle

Read this great article on the differences/overlaps between UC/UI/research and more, advocating that we create a digital product design practice. But we think there's even something more that needs to be integrated inside digital product design: business model and fully self managed P&L. And eventually unlock it from the single organisation and bring units fully in the market as we preach with our #3EO approach

This is the classic cold start problem of social. The answer to the traditional chicken-and-egg question is actually answerable: what comes first is a single chicken, and then another chicken, and then another chicken, and so on. The harder version of the question is why the first chicken came and stayed when no other chickens were around, and why the others followed.

constructed a new system—a cybernetic system—designed to amplify capture-organize-synthesize? If we carefully closed the right feedback loops, could we construct a creative flywheel that generates finished works almost by accident, through a stream-of-consciousness process? That’s what I am attempting to build.

Mixing up the order of capture-organize-synthesize

Why do we expect ourselves to create good ideas from nothing (synthesize)? It’s much easier to generate ideas when you have lots of material (capture) clustered by themes and relationships (organize)1.

Why do Word Processors present you with a blank page (synthesize) instead of offering scratch notes (capture) that are relevant (organize) to your writing goals?

Why do file systems force you to name a file (synthesize), and place it in a folder (organize) before you can write in it (capture)?

when you look through this lens, it suddenly becomes clear that many of our creative tools are backwards or broken!

Here’s a real-world example:

recursive

Synthesize new meaning.

Organize to give some first-pass structure using rough heuristics. Card sorting, clustering, filing, arranging, etc.

Capture as much as possible without judgment.

What if your notes could self-organize—from scratch notes, to draft, to finished creative work—through a stream-of-consciousness process—like dreaming?

Kiskunságból Budapestre került parasztlányból lett mosónő.

József Attila költészete forradalmat jelentett a magyar irodalom történetében: az az új szemléletmód, ahogyan verseiben az »én«-t felépíti, láttatja, összhangban volt Európa és Amerika akkori költészetével. Öröksége sok évtizedre meghatározta a magyar költészet tendenciáit. Ahogy minden igazán nagy alkotó esetében, az övében is azt látjuk, hogy száz évvel születése után legalább annyi újdonságot tud mondani, mint a megelőző évtizedekben

Minden, ami költészetünkben addig volt, beleolvadt József Attilába; minden, ami azóta van, vele kezdődik

A couple who make a good marriage, and raise healthy, morally competent children, are serving the world’s future more directly and surely than any political leader, though they never utter a public word.

But the discipline of thought is not generalization; it is detail, and it is personal behavior. While the government is “studying” and funding and organizing its Big Thought, nothing is being done. But the citizen who is willing to Think Little, and, accepting the discipline of that, to go ahead on his own, is already solving the problem. A man who is trying to live as a neighbor to his neighbors will have a lively and practical understanding of the work of peace and brotherhood, and let there be no mistake about it – he is doing that work.

For most of the history of this country our motto, implied or spoken, has been Think Big. I have come to believe that a better motto, and an essential one now, is Think Little. That implies the necessary change of thinking and feeling, and suggests the necessary work. Thinking Big has led us to the two biggest and cheapest political dodges of our time: plan-making and law- making. The lotus-eaters of this era are in Washington, D.C., Thinking Big. Somebody comes up with a problem, and somebody in the government comes up with a plan or a law. The result, mostly, has been the persistence of the problem, and the enlargement and enrichment of the government.

Yet they operate under a winner-takes-all strategy, each striving to become the dominant portal instead of mutually interoperating like the rest of the Web.

Re-decentralizing the Web, for good this time Ruben Verborgh, Ghent University – imec – IDLab 11 January 2019

Ultimately, decentralization is about choice: we will choose where we store our data, who we give access to which parts of that data, which services we want on top of it, and how we pay for those.

Backlinks: Underneath every idea is a list of backlinks—other ideas that link to this idea. When you have backlinks, links not only function as links, they also function like tags, gathering everything related into one place.

This leaves you with stubs for ideas that you’re thinking about. These stubs get resurfaced in search-or-create. It’s like paving desire paths in your mind, helping you return to and develop ideas over time.

A desire path (often referred to as a desire line in transportation planning, and also known as a game trail, social trail, fishermen trail, herd path, cow path, elephant path, goat track, pig trail, use trail, and bootleg trail) is a path created as a consequence of erosion caused by human or animal traffic. The path usually represents the shortest or most easily navigated route between an origin and destination. The width and severity of erosion are often indicators of the traffic level that a path receives. Desire paths emerge as shortcuts where constructed paths take a circuitous route, have gaps, or are non-existent.
