Reduce manual/costly steps to one interface

Give the user the power to choose

Finding information in a haystack of data

Help me locate… and discover.

Convergence: Find, Purchase, Manage & Play

Search for object allows for relational discovery
![Page 14: A9 presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042516/55ce1865bb61ebfe158b4798/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Associative transparency adds context & desire
![Page 15: A9 presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042516/55ce1865bb61ebfe158b4798/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Objects are self-tagged, therefore rich & specific
![Page 16: A9 presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042516/55ce1865bb61ebfe158b4798/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Add word to query to receive more specific object recall

Transparency of object definition = clarity
![Page 18: A9 presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042516/55ce1865bb61ebfe158b4798/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Humane experience takeaways:
Create value by simplifying familiar tasks
Subtract, rather than add to the interface
Tap the human desire for instant gratification
Empower people by providing meaningful choices
Craft environments that value human participation
Useful technology is transparent in the UI
Move from hierarchical to relational constructs
Context provides meaning
Partner with users to adapt to their evolving needs

Technology and Design: A new experience
The possibilities…
![Page 20: A9 presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042516/55ce1865bb61ebfe158b4798/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Why do people use the paperback Yellow Pages?
To find localized services that meet both general and specific retail needs
![Page 21: A9 presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042516/55ce1865bb61ebfe158b4798/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Why do people use the paperback Yellow Pages?
General retail needs could include:
• Finding a hardware store
• Looking for a local plumber
• Wanting Chinese food for dinner
• Getting my computer fixed
![Page 22: A9 presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042516/55ce1865bb61ebfe158b4798/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Why do people use the paperback Yellow Pages?
Specific retail needs could include:
• Finding the closest hardware store
• Looking for a local plumber that is 24/7
• Wanting Chinese food delivered for dinner
• Getting my Power Mac fixed
![Page 23: A9 presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042516/55ce1865bb61ebfe158b4798/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
How successful is the paperback Yellow Pages?
Specific user needs can be supported by:
• Users scanning addresses
• Retail shops purchasing advertising to differentiate themselves
• Special sections (like Restaurants) for individual shops to list all specific items, such as a menu
• “See also” used as a workaround to categorization issues

“Putting” the Yellow Pages online?
![Page 25: A9 presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042516/55ce1865bb61ebfe158b4798/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
A9.com Yellow Pages
Scenario:
When this presentation is over, I plan on stopping by a local café for a cup of coffee and a donut.
Let’s go find a cozy spot in downtown Palo Alto.
![Page 26: A9 presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042516/55ce1865bb61ebfe158b4798/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The focus of the results page is “proximity”
![Page 27: A9 presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042516/55ce1865bb61ebfe158b4798/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
A second search term creates precision… of sorts
![Page 28: A9 presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042516/55ce1865bb61ebfe158b4798/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Changing the spelling creates different precision
![Page 29: A9 presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042516/55ce1865bb61ebfe158b4798/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The focus of the store page is “recognition”
![Page 30: A9 presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042516/55ce1865bb61ebfe158b4798/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The first scroll reveals the context of other stores
![Page 31: A9 presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042516/55ce1865bb61ebfe158b4798/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The second scroll reveals consumer reviews
![Page 32: A9 presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042516/55ce1865bb61ebfe158b4798/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
How can the online Yellow Pages be more useful?
Design the user experience to meet the needs of the user, not as a reflection of
existing technology
![Page 33: A9 presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042516/55ce1865bb61ebfe158b4798/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
How can the online Yellow Pages be more useful?
Identify common attributes across each information object model type (restaurant,
retail store, service, etc.)
![Page 34: A9 presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042516/55ce1865bb61ebfe158b4798/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
How can the online Yellow Pages be more useful?
Empower and motivate retailers to “tag” their services in the interface, (instead of creating separate web sites to represent their services)
![Page 35: A9 presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042516/55ce1865bb61ebfe158b4798/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
How can the online Yellow Pages be more useful?
Periodically parse secondary attributes (meta-data, tags) from user reviews
(concepts), creating a richer information object library
![Page 36: A9 presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042516/55ce1865bb61ebfe158b4798/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
How can the online Yellow Pages be more useful?
Evolve each information object as customers begin to define new attribute classes through
their custom tagging
