December 19, 2005: Metrics for Memes

At the 2002 IA Summit, while talking about New Roles in Information
Architecture, I showed the number of Google Hits for a handful of related
search terms.

[Annual Rate of Growth Spreadsheet]

Since then, it's been interesting to periodically review the annual growth
rates of these user experience memes, and fun to explore the questions they
raise.

For instance, why is usability continuing to outpace information
architecture and user experience? Any why is findability the fastest growing
meme on the list?
