Jared Spool and Dana Chisnell join Tim Keirnan for a conversation about what Tim is calling the “buzzwordification” of UX. Has the increasing notoriety of this profession label helped us? Has it hindered us? Maybe it’s a balance of pro and con. Maybe we just need to meet in a rental car in a parking garage somewhere in Michigan and hash it out.

Jared can be found at User Interface Engineering and the Center Centre school. Check the UIE site for his upcoming appearances in a city near you.

Dana can be found at the Center for Civic Design. She is also, among many other wonderful things, the co-author of the legendary Handbook of Usability Testing 2nd Edition. She travels, too. Meet her if you can.

This is the second in a series of indeterminate length. While not linked in any way except the topic, you may also be interested in listening to the first conversation in the series with Serena Rosenhan and Keith Instone.
