Post #244,784 by Another Scott 2/15/06 6:30:06 PM Reply	I don't quite understand the way it's categorized... If I search for "blue dress", why does it put up these Categories on the left "Narrow Your Results" heading: > Women (3170) > Kids & Baby (480) > Men (1083) > Accessories (1206) > Shoes (2405) while it shows 1-24 of 5744 results on the right. If I'm looking for a blue dress, why does Men, Accessories, and Shoes show up? I guess I don't see the logic in it. I can see having a "You might also be interested in ..." link for Shoes, etc., once I find the blue dress I'm interested in, but this early in the search it just adds clutter, IMO. It looks like it's got potential though. :-) Cheers, Scott.

We're broad minded but not that broad minded. However, you'll find that choosing "mens" (try it) shows you a large number of blue dress shirts. Not so wacky after all. It may turn out that you only like Armani stuff, open brands and choose that. Then numbers are counts of matches if you were to add that term. So in our example, you'll see that Armani doesn't seem to make any blue dress pants (there's a zero by it and the link is disabled). This has exposed a number of data quality issues like never before. This will improve over time and for buying complicated stuff like computers, electronics, and so on, this is gonna be the bomb.

We had great up front specs - good mockups - solid description of interaction models - some of the most complete specs I've ever seen. However, its take so long to get the "feel" right. The little bits of timing and transitions you can't really capture in a paper specification (or even prototype).

Very cool, but slow. - (admin) - (34) - Feb. 15, 2006, 06:18:28 PM EST

Really? Its pretty fast here - which part feels slow? - (tuberculosis) - (33) - Feb. 15, 2006, 06:52:15 PM EST

5-15 seconds per category click - (admin) - (32) - Feb. 15, 2006, 07:48:20 PM EST
