I noticed this resource in someone’s retweet today. Back in December, UXBooth unleashed their “Top 29 Free UX Tools and Extensions”.

My favorite: the browser screen resolution checker (#5). Because ya gotta know how your baby looks at different resolutions.

I just published part 1 of article at the Online Marketing Connect blog about how UX professionals and online marketers are natural allies.

I was able to attend the Online Marketing Summit last month and was pleasantly surprised to learn how much online marketers and UX folks have in common. Like I claim in the article, I think that there is significant overlap in the two groups’ goals. Online marketers are striving to create good, positive online experiences, as are we. Our methods and techniques differ, but our willingness to experiment and iterate is quite similar.

I’m not sure exactly how but I ended up at uselog.com, which bills itself as “The Product Usability Weblog.” It’s run by a guy named Jasper van Kuijk, whose posts I think I’ve read on the UX-related lists.

I was in Windows at the time working on a redesign of an enterprise web app that only runs on IE, so I initially perused Uselog in IE. I really liked the posts, particularly the one about how one designer is solving the problem of used teabags.

Then I went over to the Mac side of my machine to view it in Firefox (actually Flock, the Firefox derivative that I love dearly) and save it using my bookmark manager/propagator/sync’er. Unfortunately, Uselog is busted in Firefox. Or at least the homepage is.

Still, recommended for the thoughtful analyses and topical gadget coverage.
