Perhaps not a well known holiday nor one that has inspired a line of greeting cards –not yet anyway, the ConceptShare team would like to wish everyone a Happy World Usability Day. Especially to those of you (including our very own Bernie & Shauna) whose passion it is to make the things we touch, use and consume more usable; even fun & enjoyable.
One of the things that makes each holiday unique is the traditions that grow up around them. Some are part of the collective human experience like raising a glass of green beer on St. Patty’s Day (even though most of us don’t have an O’Shea or Fitzgerald anywhere on our family trees). Some other holidays have traditions that run from the silly, like dressing up our pets on Dress Up Your Pet Day, to the head scratching, like tossing around fruitcake on the appropriately named Fruitcake Toss Day.
World Usability Day is a relatively new holiday, but already has established some of its own traditions. One of them is the annual World Usability Day Bundle; a deeply discounted collection of tools designed for usability experts. The bundle is only available for 48 hours and this year ConceptShare was asked was asked to participate.
You can get the bundle right here. In addition to including a whole lotta ConceptShare the bundle is packed full of valuable tools for usability experts; including:
