Paradigm Shift: Usability vs. User Experience

I have to say, reading and taking in the last post has been tremendous on how one looks at usability. It makes this whole process appear a lot more clear. To facilitate and understand the difference between Usability vs. User experience, I started this comparison.

Cross over:
Usability: sparked by Customer Care
  • Ubiquitous computing
  • Routine
  • Stability
  • Sustainability
  • Invisibility
  • Function to form
  • Core vs. Context
  • The digital divide
  • Adoption
  • Statistics of use
  • History and revisions
  • Change control
  • Effort Reporting
  • Navigation, Tagging, and Taxonomy
  • Annual events
  • Enterprise development
User-Experience: sparked by Development
  • Complexity control
  • Beta Testing and focus groups
  • Fighting against assumptions
  • Form to function
  • Design
  • Trends
  • Flair
  • CSS
  • Annoucements
  • 1:1 development
I will come back to this blog often to add more to the list.What would you add?
