Session observations posted
I now have write-ups most of the sessions I attended on my blog, for what it is worth.
Laughing at Ourselves
Dan Saffer lists on his blog the rhetorical style of Clifton Evans as one of his personal memories of the summit. I have to say I agree. I laughed out loud again tonight as I replayed my video of the inspired ending of Clifton's 5-Minute-Madness speech.
Here's a small QuickTime clip which begins with Clifton saying he's from Vancouver, Canada. Enjoy...
Sweet Song
Once again, the 5-Minute-Madness was a wonderful forum for any attendee to speak their mind. One of the most memorable moments was when the IA from RSA Security broke into song [2 second, 140k QuickTime clip].
Brett Lider's poster - Site Traffic Report Map
A lot of people wanted to know where they could get ahold of my poster since I only had a limited number of copies to give away. Thanks very much to everyone for your support and feedback, and for taking the time to get up and personal with it.
As for printing it, good luck! Seriously, I recommend doing it at a local printshop (Kinkos is even more expensive), but printing it in sections might also work. Feel free to contact me to continue the discussion or if you want to find out how to do this for your own site -- blider (at) sbigroup.com.
Victor on a navigation design method
Victor synthesized a heap of naviation research [some here and have a look elsewhere on his blog] into a method for incorporating navigation research into an overall design method. It's an SRO crowd in the room.
He made several references to the excellent book The Design of Sites: Patterns, Principles, and Processes for Crafting a Customer-Centered Web Experience.
