5 Reasons You Shouldn’t Tweet Professionally

4, Sep 2009

While several million people pile into Twitter, the Millenial Short Form Brain Nugget Sharing Service, lots of folks are wondering, “How do I manage my work-related persona in these memed-out, darling-and-pundit-infested waters?”
Truth is, tons of folks are readily mixing work and pleasure online. In fact, it’s been going on for years; I think it used [...]

Experience Design: Why Pages Are the Last Thing You Need to Worry About

26, Mar 2009

You should see the presentation embedded above. If you don’t, you can view it on Slideshare.net.
Here’s a little talk I put together for a UX Meetup here in LA. It’s a bit of an amalgamation of emerging experience design tenets focusing on differences between page design and experience design. Probably not a giant eye-opener for [...]

Quick Update: Crowds & Ladders

27, Jan 2009

Lots of good discussion on the topic of Crowd Dynamics. Granted, I think that the DigitalDesignBlog post excerpt fueled a bit of an incendiary angle in regard to the Social Participation Ladder. Not intended. Actually, I think the ladder is a great visualization of how folks climb up to participate, (and to mix metaphors) placing [...]

Citizen Connect, First Sketch

22, Jan 2009

What if we voted every day? Hmm.
About mid-way through 2008, I revisited a question that I’ve had many times before. “Why is it so hard to discuss politics? Isn’t there something I can actually do about anything, short of constantly marching, chanting, or shouting about stuff? I have a job and a social life.”
It’s an [...]

My Take on The Connected Agency

14, Jan 2009

OK, I think everyone’s read the Forrester thing, “The Connected Agency” by Mary Beth Kemp and Peter Kim (alright…maybe not everyone…) Yeah, I think it’s interesting, too. About a year ago, they said that agencies will home in on communities…as needed. They said that according to client needs, agencies would develop relationships in specific channels [...]

4 Crowd Dynamics for 09

12, Jan 2009

I’m interested in 4 things this year (it seems like it’s always 1, 2, 3, or 5 things, right? Never 4…or 6. At that point, you should just go for a Top 10 list, I think.) In the coming year, I hope we can stop talking about Social Media in Social Media and start discussing [...]

8 Tracks Could Be Fun…

18, Dec 2008

At first glance, it seemed a lot like Muxtape. I jumped in, sans Uploader. I toughed it out, threw up a quick mix…bunch of stuff that had been bouncing around in my head. 
Song upload was brutal. I went and made a sandwich, ate it, and watersealed the deck while my 8 songs uploaded. What’s better? [...]

Behavior Mapping Based on Limited Primary User Information

29, Aug 2008

Who Are the Users? What’s the Purpose of the Site? Once the UX team did a bit of guerrilla ethnography – and understood the greater purposes of the project, we presented our work as a spectrum of different users – and their needs from the content. We determined that all site design work should aim [...]
