[IxDA Discuss] Don't Be Too Innovative with Your UI...

[pauric]

In the example cited, my take was that if you have some unfamiliar
concepts/functionality, wrap them up in as familiar a paradigm/pattern
as possible to aid learning.

I would redress "Don't Be Too Innovative with Your UI..." with: dont
be too unfamiliar with users who come to your site with no clear
goals, they'll move on.

They clearly applied innovation within an old pattern in the AI
roboblogger concept.

Its my belief that when users have clear goals heading in to a new
site there's a lot of motivation, this can free designers from having
to bend new concepts in to old forms, esp in novel RIAs.
