"Is the magic number 7 relevant to web page design?", a study from Microsoft, offers a nice review of previous work on breadth vs depth in menu structure and some new results. I'm still digesting the implications and mentally modelling how this might be improved in some type of graded neighborhood menu system.

It's official.... I'm moving toSilicon Valley in 10 days. I'll be doing more usability and design in addition to the standard client side and server side programming. I can't disclose details but I'll be working with two researchers well represented in my index, Jim Pitkow and Don Turnbull, and experts in modelling web usage.
