I have to respectfully disagree – with Sanjiv – Interactive prototyping done by the C/S Desktop product development folks have been a mess. The typical MS stipulated workflow. Web-native product developers have taken the prototyping to the next level. Prototyping for the C/S world was a subset of project management – killing trees – nothing more than that.

In the C/S desktop world, prototyping means windows forms on Visio and then wait three months to look at the pre-alpha to realize that everything was wrong.

Bubble and numbering are both ineffective ways to show micro connectivity—use the hell out links once the prototyping is done and dump it in your Garage web server and you have the pre-alpha version done for the idiot boss or visually impaired client… .

Just a little frustrated there—sorry… .

Excellent site for InfoVis designers and architects—learning a lot from comments of some very smart people….
