I want to second Greg's call to come. I'm super excited to attend, and I'm speaking about a topic I care about and have spent the last couple years studying: how interface affects viral activity on social sites. more than ever, I think design execution is the difference between a site getting users, and a site being an empty hallway devoid of life.
I know Erin Maloen and Christian Crumlish's workshop will be awesome because I spied on it once before when it was being given next to one of mine. ;) And Dan Brown is an amazing speaker too-- his talk 5 years ago on CMS's changed my thinking radically forever on workflow. And that's just off the top of my head on non-headliners. Also, I'd love to meet up with folks there! if you are going, ping me on twitter @cwodtke On Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 10:45 PM, Petroff, Greg <greg.petr...@sap.com> wrote: > We are now less than 30 days away from interaction'09|vancouver, the best > design conference of 2009. > > > > We have a couple of updates: > > > > 1.
