February 21, 2003: I don't think I've ever mentioned this here, but I absolutely love the work Matt Jones (and company) have done with the BBC home page. I have no idea how successful it's been with users, but I find myself citing it as a wonderful example of two things: 1) It's the beginning of an antidote to what I call the End of the Artifact (that feeling one gets that nothing can be touched anymore, that it's all ephemeral); and 2) It demonstrates the power of visual design and interaction design joined in a healthy, funcitonal way to create something greater than either (which seems as good a definition of "experience design" as anything). Bravo!
