			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ci sono tanti motivi per ricordare il <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/27_agosto" target="_blank">27 agosto</a>.</p>
<p>Per me da oggi &egrave; la data in cui &egrave; stato lanciano il nuovo sito dell&#39;ANPI.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.anpi.it"><img alt="Associazione Nazionale Partigiani d'Italia" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2050" height="102" src="http://www.rainwiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/logo_2.png" title="Logo ANPI" width="220" /></a></p>
<p>Un progetto andato avanti grazie all&#39;impegno di <a href="http://it.linkedin.com/in/giovannibaldini" target="_blank">Giovanni Baldini</a> che per due anni ha moderato un <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/anpi_it/?pli=1" target="_blank">gruppo di discussione</a> per discutere del merito e socializzare le decisioni che venivano prese durante il percorso.<br />
	Un modo di procedere ispirato alla trasparenza e alla partecipazione, perch&eacute; il sito dell&#39;ANPI non fosse appannaggio della nomenklatura associativa (alla quale va il mio affetto) ma di tutti coloro che sentivano di poter dare un contributo.</p>
<p>Dopo l&#39;ennesimo 25 aprile resistente ho preso l&#39;impegno di aiutare Giovanni in questo percorso davvero oneroso. Credetemi.<br />
	Sempre a dover rispiegare all&#39;ultimo arrivato i perch&eacute; di alcune soluzioni tecniche o di alcune scelte di presentation.</p>
<p>Ovvio che parliamo di un lavoro a carattere totalmente volontario dove il problema non &egrave; il budget per la user research, ma il budget in quanto tale.<br />
	Pubblico un <a href="http://www.rainwiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/prj_ANPI.pdf">estratto del documento di progetto per anpi.it</a> e un <a href="http://www.rainwiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Blueprint_ANPI_ver_2.jpg" target="_blank">mock up</a> di un paio di mesi fa (non pubblico i wireframes perch&eacute; ne ho delle versioni non aggiornate).</p>
<p>Per ragioni che non ho condiviso si &egrave; scelto di andare on line anche se il lavoro di sviluppo non era arrivato alla prima release.<br />
	Comunque potete gi&agrave; dire la vostra sul nuovo <a href="http://www.anpi.it" target="_blank">www.anpi.it</a> anche se c&#39;&egrave; ancora tanto lavoro da fare. Ma tanto.</p>
<p>Nel frattempo mi metto gli occhiali da sole per mascherare l&#39;emozione di essere stato citato, tra tanti collaboratori, nel <a href="http://www.anpi.it/?p=2673" target="_blank">pezzo di apertura</a> del nuovo sito.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last month I read a great thread on <a href="http://iainstitute.org/" target="_blank">IAI-members</a> mailing list, started by <a href="http://twitter.com/jenhale" target="_blank">Jennifer Hale</a> and titled &quot;<strong>Mobile sites: Worth the time</strong>?&quot;.<br />
	The right question is: how much is it profitable?</p>
<p>Here&#39;s some data:<br />
	Mobile is the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_mass_media">seventh of mass media</a> and the internet adoption (feature and smartphone) is 12%.<br />
	32% of mobile subscribers used browser in May 2010 (<a href="http://www.comscore.com/Press_Events/Press_Releases/2010/7/comScore_Reports_May_2010_U.S._Mobile_Subscriber_Market_Share" target="_blank">Comscore</a>).<br />
	In 2011 smartphones will lead US mobile phone market (<a href="http://blog.nielsen.com/nielsenwire/consumer/smartphones-to-overtake-feature-phones-in-u-s-by-2011/" target="_blank">Nielsen</a>).</p>
<p>So that&#39;s why it&#39;s so important for a web oriented Corporation to design for mobile.<br />
	Now let&#39;s take a look on what Google calls a &quot;new experience&quot; !?</p>
<p>	<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/GGT8ZCTBoBA&#038;fs=1" width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/GGT8ZCTBoBA&#038;fs=1" /><param name="FlashVars" value="playerMode=embedded"/><param name="wmode" value="transparent"/></object></p>
<p>First of all, in a Google video, we see an iPhone as the main character. Weird <img src='http://www.rainwiz.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> <br />
	As we know, the iphone aspect ratio is 3:2 (480&#215;320 for 3G/3GS and 960&#215;640 for 4G). So the design has essentially two sections: <strong>the player</strong> (horizontal orientation) and <strong>the website</strong> (vertical orientation).<br />
	The youtube experience is obviously reduced in main actions. For example in the detail bar you&#39;ve 5 calls to action: iLike, iDontLike, Save, Share, HQ. There&#39;s a<a href="http://www.time-tripper.com/uipatterns/Hub_and_Spoke" target="_blank"> Hub&amp;spoke</a> button on the top bar that takes the user to the main menu: Home, Browse, Favourites, Playlist, Subscriptions, Uploads, Sign out, Settings (very heterogeneous and one item less than nine <img src='http://www.rainwiz.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> .<br />
	The comment and social section are below the player. It means that the design is based on &quot;watch content&quot; scenarios.<br />
	I like it, but I don&#39;t think it is a new experience at all <img src='http://www.rainwiz.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> <br />
	&nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After <a href="http://www.rainwiz.com/2010/05/21/google-tv/">Google TV</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/leanback" target="_blank">Leanback</a> is the new step of Google towards TV, the richest media.</p>
<p>The concept is not so new: the <strong>stream</strong>. Personal, social, favourite, referred, everything is an ingredient of this video salad ball.<br />
	Hulu, Netflix, Spotify and IPTV prepared the market: about 10 million people watch web content on the TV right now!</p>
<p>A UX great feature: Leanback works only with arrow keys, because it&#39;s designed to be used from your remote tv controller.<br />
	Great crossweb design!</p>
