UX Transitions: the R-evolution

MIX09I know this is a month old, but I'm just getting caught up on some reading/viewing...  If you also haven't seen the day 1 keynote of MIX 09 and care about where your craft is going, you need to watch at least the first 8 minutes of the video and then if you're short on time jump to the 97 minute mark and watch the demo of Expression Blend 3.

Having watched that video and having recently worked on our new web site, it's becoming more clear to me how important user experience really is.

Here's a small example of what I mean...

Previously, I might not think twice about a login popup that went something like this:

user experience 1

Now, it seems to me like everything ought to behave more like this:

user experience 2

On one hand it may seem subtle, but on the other hand it definitely changes the user experience.  I actually enjoy logging in to the site (ok, yes, I'm quite weird ;).

I'm guessing we'll get to see some other related cool demos when Scott Guthrie presents next month at the local AZGroups event.  I'll see you there!
