A nice blogpost from Seth Godin, about the need for use of taxonomies in service, which I can only greatly agree upon, in view of the poor user interfaces I encounter amost every day \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n\n\n\n

================================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the truck makes a delivery at the nearby True Value hardware store, Danny needs to figure out which shelf to put it on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Should the extension cords go next to the hoses? After all, they both do the same thing, one with electricity and one with water\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The purpose of putting things in order is so that others can find them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019ve been frustrated with a price list, a menu, a user interface or a bookshelf, it\u2019s because someone didn\u2019t spend the time to understand the expected taxonomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When we sort our stuff, we\u2019re telling people a story. A story about our stuff and a story about how we see the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We don\u2019t have to like the fact that the world demands a taxonomy, but we can accept that it does. Strangers want to know what shelf to put us on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
