World Usability Day 2010 is coming

July 14, 2010

World Usability Day edition 2010 is approaching. As every year, WUD has a theme that will lead the activities during that day. For this year communications is the theme. WUD 2010 will serve as an impetus to creating greater awareness for designs, products and services that improve and facilitate communications around the world. This year’s events and forums will focus on how products and services impact communications. Programs will examine all products and services used in the communication process including: cellular phones, mobile devices, social media, email, video, and perhaps other exciting technologies that may not have hit the mainstream!

If you never heard about World Usability Day, it was founded in 2005 as an initiative of the UPA to ensure that services and products important to human life are easier to access and simpler to use. Each year, on the second Thursday of November, over 200 events are organized in more than 40 countries around the world to raise awareness for the general public, and to train professionals in the tools and issues central to good usability research, development, and practice.

Let World Usability Day 2010 be your impetus to create greater awareness for designs, products and services that improve the sustainability of our world. Be the one to bring the word to your company and community this year. I strongly recommend you get involved in World Usability Day 2010! I have participated both as an attendant and as an organizer. Both experience were great! If you do not know what is planned to take place in your city, you should have a look at list of events programmed so far. If you do not find your city listed there, this should be your biggest motivation to find people close to you to organize the event in your city.
