"Fueled by a "viral lack of confidence," the Internet economy has slipped into a recession. If this trend continues, you might soon lose access to your favorite online store, greeting card site, news source, music site or financial chat group. Imagine the Internet without Excite, Yahoo! or Amazon.com."

This words become into the most pushing event i've read... since 1st may reboot event. But this will be do it in April 3rd.

The main concept here is buy or donate something in your popular website... this will help to grow the internet economy a lot and help to many website survive the big wave of massive LO. I will buy a new book, i haven´t ni mind yet because my amazon list is too big, but i think i'm looking for a new IA book, maybe i will buy Information Anxiety 2, i think is cheap and has several good rating on amazon. Back to the main topic of this post "Back the Net Day" will be reporting many things about this project.

Wooo... starting to make a new admin look for the company that i am working... this should be funny but isn´t funny... it's an admin... an application full of forms and user operations where mistakes are made frecuently. I've started to look the old admin... and i've ask to my boss all things he wants for the new admin... also he send me a design prototype in html with all things he wants... also i've doing many researchs in admin usability and admin use... after watch for hours some friends use the old admin i see how much time they should use the admin to make a few changes or enter a new product.

So i've started to write down all the visual errors that the old admin has. In fact isnt a big admin.. and is really a piece of i call "crap"... and also i have many papers where i wrote the main problems of the admin's functionality, screens, quantity of functions/commands per page, etc etc. I will post (later) some screenshoots of my new brief, it's more visual and minimal designed, no decorative images, just i give life to something dead, using usability studies and natural mapping for the actions and tools.

This is my first post here, i dont know what should i write here... i feel like empty... well i'm working hard to finnish this site http://www.livra.com.

What's the deal with this? well.. i'm trying to push this website as a big tool, with lot of user experience and many hours and days of research. This site works full xml / xsl with msSQL and we make a new database for a better performance.

The true about this, is this site will be released with lot of thinks to repair... and also some big usability errors, that's because we dont have time to fix, market and investors want to get this out right now.
