"IA/UX Praise for Designing Social Interfaces" - by tSherrell on 24-MAR-2010
Reviewer Rating:
At a time when I was painted in a corner, in need of swift assistance which articulated social media user experience as well as user interface design in a thoughtful, studied manner, Designing Social Interfaces, by: Christian Crumlish & Erin Malone truly came to my rescue. Written for both expeditious access to solid research and casual perusing, Designing Social Interfaces has become a staple in my Information Architecture toolbox. I strongly recommend this volume to any solution practitioner within the worlds of IA, UX, UI, and social media strategy.
Hats off, and great thanks, to both Mr. Crumlish and Ms. Malone
Sincerely,
Trent Sherrell
