]]> I keep forgetting to mention, that despite interrogating the founder of the SEMMYS, they somehow managed to nominate one of my articles.

While the SEMMY awards are targeted to the search marketing industry, there is a Design and Usability category. It is there that an article I wrote for Website Magazine, called Everyday Usability – 14-Point Checklist for Success has been nominated for inclusion.

Tomorrow, judges decide category finalists. Those finalists will be announced on January 25, 2010 and posted to the public so that they can begin their voting. Winners are announced on February 1.

Competition is fierce. Every single nominated article in all the categories is very good.

If you would like to stay on top of the voting and winners, you call follow the SEMMY Twitter account.

Good luck to everyone and especially the judges. They have a truly tough job.

2010 SEMMY Nominee

Creatively and with Feeling….Explain IA Sign up for Cre8pc.com's Web Site Usability Course at the Search Engine College

]]> Just for fun, let’s figure out what information architecture is. Heck, I gave a presentation on it and still have to sit and think about this. It’s like explaining how to make soup. The experience of the activity itself holds the true magic.

The folks at the IA Institute, along with the esteemed Peter Morville, have dreamed up a contest called Explain IA hoping to “advance AND promote IA”.

As recently as this weekend, while following a lead I got that a local company was looking for an experienced usability/IA person, I discovered an abundance of job openings by large companies in the Philadelphia region that were seeking help. One of them wanted several IA folks!

Why have a contest? You’re not alone in wondering. However, if you manage to come up with some genius method of describing it, you stand to win $1000.

Welcome to Explain IA. In this contest, you are invited to explain information architecture. What is it? Why is it important? What does it mean to you? Some folks may offer a definition in 140 characters or less, while others will use this opportunity to tell a story (using text, pictures, audio, and/or video) about their relationship to IA.

You have until February 11, 2010.
