World Usability Day 2010
November 11th, 2010
Well, it’s that time of year and I know you all have been waiting all year for it! World Usability Day 2010!
World Usability Day was an initiative started by the Usability Professionals Association (UPA) back in 2005 to to ensure that the services and products that are important to human life are easier to access and simpler to use. Also, it’s a day for people in this field to bring awareness to work we do.
Each year there is a theme and this year’s theme is “Communication“. What products and services help facilitate communication around the world? There’s the obvious social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook. What about translating your site into other languages? Advertising? Creating cross-cultural content? Training materials? How about Skype and our mobile devices? Well, there’s definitely a lot of products and services that can fall into this category.
So, what is your company doing to celebrate World Usability Day 2010? This would be a great day to educate your colleagues and the rest of your company about usability especially if you have a smaller department. More than 200 events are scheduled all around the world to celebrate this day. See what events are in your area and you can also follow them on Twitter.
Happy World Usability Day!
