I recently ran across a great read on Skeuomorphs. It is germane to me as my chosen field is always grasping for metaphors when presenting fairly complicated choice or functionality to users. It’s worth a read.

Anyone want to take a crack at pronouncing skeuomorphs?

IMHO, choosing the right metaphor is the key to the user interface more than anything else. In a complex multi-metaphor product, extending the right metaphor is the key to usability.

I came across the link courtesy of interconnected and Ole Eichhorn.
