Wow, I started in comics before web design too. You’re so right about ‘the flow’ in web design. It’s so important when reading online and all these websites with Google ads just destroy any flow! Nice article. :)

I really enjoyed reading this, I find myself struggling many times with fitting the right content on the right spot while wireframing or designing.

Thanks a lot for your input, while reading I came up with some new insights and idea’s.

Keep it up, I’ll be sure to follow more of you.

Another point to remember is the likely age and possibly gender of your readers. My site has readers almost entirely over age 35, with the majority over 55. Many are not real techy. Therefore, many icons just don’t mean anything to them — or they don’t realize the benefit of clicking on them. I got far more FB Fans after I included a brief description of what they’d get, for example. No one clicked on that cute little icon by itself!

Comment on Facebook’s Faceoff with Google+ by Liz Carlson

No –

They used to have “limited profile” list which has been phased out, where you could give the people on that list limited access.

But there is no thing where you could put people in a bucket and say “these people get to see this all the time” and “these people get to see this and that all the time.”

My article talks more about the accessibility of the lists.

It seemed from our study people had made lists years ago when they first came out, but have never since updated them or actively put them to use.

What I’ve observed is that the new “smart lists” are not used for sharing (or hiding from content), as much as they are to track people. For instance, whoever is in your “close friends” list, you can get alerts whenever they do anything (assuming they’ve set their permissions so it’s visible to you).

Panels too work like grids in UX (web); like hpw graphic or information are being represented in different areas on a site.

Nice collection of techniques, thanks Rachel.

I’m a big fan of using these sorts of techniques in storyboarding, to communicate a particular user problem or a particular solution to that problem.

I guess when I was reading your article I was looking for examples of how to apply the techniques you mention into websites or other deliverables, rather than just comics? e.g. How would you apply ‘Spacetime, whitespace, and pacing’ to website design?

Looking forward to part 2…. :)
