I liked this podcast because it discussed the role of psychology in the design process. Stephen Anderson uses is basic psychology to aid the design process. He uses different types of user interactions. He uses a few examples of how companies are using a more interactive interface to draw in interest. He used cellphones as an example. He compared the Motorola and iPhone interface. Anderson was talking about how Motorola use to be top of the line then when the original iPhone came out it how it sorta like revolutionized the user interface. He also talking about how websites are trying to become more like games, by like giving perks like badges or points. Those kind of things appeal to people for some reason. He used farmville and iLike as examples on how they use psychological principles like possession in the design of websites. I thought that was really cool.
