UX should talk the Jargon

So when do you believe someone is a Doctor? or Engineer or Plumber? When he talks like the one.

For those who are aspiring to start a UX career : Remember that, in user experience, it is very important you speak like a User Experience Designer / Interaction Designer / Usability / Research guy. Use jargons effectively, but make sure you dont go overboard. Common people may not understand certain technical jargons. So speak in a language that is understood by your audience.

It is best advised that you keep practicing to use UX jargons (make sure you know what they are, and their true meaning) in your speech meetings, general conversation and documents. This helps your audience to gain confidence in you. Don't be so humble, you need the jargons to tell others who you are. And use them judiciously, and meaningfully.

All new GMail - 30 second review

Let me say - GMail has finally stepped up in right direction. With the new user interface that has clean lines, more white space and big buttons clear shows the impact of iPhone design bug has bitten Gmail too. Some of the obvious things I see here are :

- iPhone style - Clear, Simple and Precise
- White space rules now - no more cluttered, industrial look
- Big buttons for touch friendly devices
- Finally the "Less is more" theory adopted by Google.

I like it! Very soon all web apps from all vendors will move into this direction. The more-white'ish-spacious-big buttoned design trend.
