  7. User Interface • Simple, straight-forward design • Limited clickable items; no repeated information • Feedback for all user actions • If a user does something wrong, tell them • If an error occurs, tell the user why • 100% valid XHTML and CSS • Validated by the W3C source code checkers

  8. Design Decisions • Use of the jQuery JavaScript framework • Modularization, easily extensible • Limiting user input • 300 characters keeps messages brief • Messages are stripped of newlines • Messages are sanitized to prevent code injections • Favoriting • Community moderates the shouts themselves

  9. User Experience • AJAX, real-time updating, etc…
