Katie, I don't think anyone said people have to read ALA specifically, much less "follow" it, to be up-to-date. Although I can see what you mean by the tone of the discussion, and I know what it means to be so busy that reading all the stuff we want to read is impossible. We are (or at least I am) just saying that professionals should proactively and frequently seek out design and technology news and inspiration from somewhere, as often as they can. Reading design blogs, news sites, and web magazines for 30 minutes a day should be something every boss requires their team to do. ALA happens to be one of the places that I would expect a good web pro to end up fairly often, whether by following it regularly, finding it through Google, linking to it from other sources, etc. My complaint is that a great number of professionals don't read anything whatsoever. -Cf Christopher Fahey ____________________________ Behavior biz: http://www.behaviordesign.com me: http://www.graphpaper.com ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
