Thoughts on IA Summit website for Week 2. Website address: http://iasummit.org/napkin/

When I first viewed the opening page for the IA Summit website, my initial thoughts were of how clever and funny it was to use the napkin to showcase the options of where to go. It was very simple and to the point, but without being boring. In perusing the site, I thought it was a great example of how Information Architecture is supposed to be uncomplicated for users to contemplate and use. I loved how the links were listed all in one place on the main menu and enjoyed being able to read the transcripts and listen to the podcasts. I also thought it was a great touch to provide links to sites such as Facebook and Twitter in order to allow searchers to communicate with each other.
