Top 10 Information Architecture Mistakes

Jakob has grouped his article around two issues: structure and navigation. His views around structure are the same I come across in IA projects: Why focus so much on structure when we have such an fantastic (read 'expensive') search engine?

"The most notable structural problem is when designers treat a site like one big swamp with no organizing principle for individual items.

No opportunities for understanding the site's other offerings or locating related items."
