HCIL - Visualization
We believe that the future of user interfaces is in the direction of larger, information-abundant displays.
Usability and the utility, not the visual design, determine the success or failure of a web-site. Since the visitor of the page is the only person who clicks the mouse and therefore decides everything, user-centric design has become a standard approach for successful and profit-oriented web design. After all, if users can’t use a feature, it might as well not exist. We aren’t going to discuss the implementation details (e.g. where the search box should be placed) as it has already been done in a number of articles; instead we focus on the main principles, heuristics and approaches for effective web design — approaches which, used properly, can lead to more sophisticated design decisions and simplify the process of perceiving presented information.

Designing for flow at A List Apart - O'Reilly Digital Media
The influence of Mihalyi Csikszentmihalyi’s thinking on flow continues to spread. Partly, no doubt, because learning to say his name (”Me-high Chick-sent-me-high”) is a flow experience in itself: just the right amount of challenge, and a satisfying experience once it’s accomplished. I joined a then-growing list of writers on the topic in late 2004, relating an effort at Project BarBQ to apply the principles of flow to musical instrument design, and since then have returned to it now and then, including via the still-in-beta Flow Awards .Object Oriented Editing and Personal Wikis: Wildly Addictive!
