Had never heard about card sorting before. Very interesting. @mosspike What are your thoughts on it?

@jakecrump @mosspike Card sorting is one of the techniques that Information Architects use to organize "logical units" of information. I often do that for businesses, this http://www.usability.gov/how-to-... should help you! :)

@jakecrump @vingar I love card sorting as a tool to uncover ideas and connections that may otherwise be obscure. The book does a great job of digging into the mechanics of card sorting, while providing useful examples and best practices for using it. IDEO.org's Design Kit also has a great overview of the method: http://www.designkit.org/methods/24.
