Postcards from IDEO

Written on 6:50:00 PM by Oakie Chiraskamin

This afternoon I stumbled upon on the IDEO website. There is a section called 'Postcards' under the culture tab. It's digital snapshots from the field and here is a short description from the website,

At any given time, there are 15 to 20 IDEO teams in the field doing research for projects. We are a naturally curious bunch, and tend to collect quite a few artifacts from our trips. In addition to interesting foods, new turns of phrase, and the occasional non-contagious skin disease, we take photos of interesting things in the places we are.

When we see something remarkable, we capture it to show our fellow IDEOers at home in the studio. Now we are sharing some of our blink-worthy images with you. Enjoy!

I really like that they do this stuff. It brings their culture to life and shows a humane personality as a company and an endless curiosity with a great observation. Check it out.

Facebook's Polls

Written on 11:42:00 AM by Oakie Chiraskamin

I have been missing reading polls. I like the poll in Facebook like this one. It's kind of free small homemade research with 1000 responses. It may be useful some day.

The current one is "Are you going to get an iPhone ?" They also break down the result by age and sex. It looks like a normal poll with cross tabulation.
