Day 4 SXSW random notes

Anatomy of a design decision presentation #sxsw

Activity-focused & experience-focused design has to be done in house #SXSW

Agencies can't go beyond genius design.. It's too expensive for the client #SXSW it has to come from inside org

Avoid the executive swoop and poop #SXSW everyone on the team needs to use and believe in the design #SXSW

Every style has a purpose, great designers know the style they are using and uses same style for entire project #SXSW

If EVERYONE on your team isn't using the websites you are building, you are #failing #sxsw

Informed vs rule-base decision making #sxsw yfrog.com/h2d4mccj

A trick is a tool we use that's not necessarily meant to do what you are using it for #SXSW

The Wah Report: How do you get things done? #sxsw:http://bit.ly/ebW0a5

Don't tell me you don't have a process...you can't do anything without one. Process doesn't equal methodology #SXSW”

Don't tell me you have process...you can't do anything without one. Process doesn't equal methodology #SXSW

Rules-based decisions prevents thinking... Informed decisions require thinking #SXSW

#SXSW does your college website scream "girls under trees" Spool just showed 20 university websites that all show women under trees

Does your website experience mirror your brick and mortar experience? @bestbuy example shows it doesn't #SXSW
Are you thinking about activities or experience when you are designing for web? #sxsw

activity focused design. 6 flags focuses on rides, Disney does not show rides only areas #sxsw

Activity focused design = identify users and their activities #sxsw

#sxsw genius design = when you know your users & you solve the same design problems over and over #sxsw

To go from unintentional to self design, start using your website everyday #SXSW

Unintentional design = users will put up with it or we don't care about support or frustrations #sxsw

Dogfooding is self design. Works when users are just like you#sxsw

There is no such thing as a social media campaign. A social media campaign is a one night stand. Build relationships.@garyv #sxswi#sxsw

Moving the web onto mobile devices session #webmobile

You have to really structure your content for a non-clickable format to avoid fat-finger syndrome. #sxswi #webmobile

Mobile is forcing developers to think content architecture#webmobile

"If you put a kid in front of a tablet, they get it. They don't get a mouse"So true. My 3 y/o is a master of iOS devices #webmobile

If you don't know jQuery, go learn it #webmobile

It's hard to argue with the functionality of a native app. #webmobile

begging for someone from w3c to take a stand on flash

everyone says develop in HTML 5, but there are no standards for HTML 5

Developing on multiple platforms is cost-prohibitive. We need a standard #webmobile

tons of testing involved with moving from web to mobile

Big challenges from web to mobile: multiple formats of video supported.. What are u going to target? #webmobile

Break the rules and find new ways to tell stories #sxsw

Your campaign isn't a booty-call, it's a longterm relationship #sxsw


groupon is about customer acquisition-foursquare is about customer loyalty #sxsw

Everyone is wrong about influence, except your customers session#sxsw-influence

#sxsw-influence who has influence? Bigger question is Why is influence?

my promise to you is to not be together and be alone#busy

what is influence? 1. make a connection, 2. meeting opportunity, 3. understanding context #sxsw-influence



I'm so productive, I never get anything done... Panel

#busy everyone needs to schedule digital clenses

Are you "that" person who is checking your phone while I'm talking to you? We need to get respect back #busy

work expands to fill time. #busy #sxswi Be able to sit down and say here's what I accomplished at the end of the day.

We are distracted because we are afraid we are going to miss something. #busy

if you can ignore a ringing phone, you can ignore an IM or an e-mail.#busy

Panel mistitled. Should be we all struggle but have no answers/tools to offer you #busy

If you do the little things, the big things will come.

Here's a live blog of the panel "I'm so productive, I never get anything done" - http://bit.ly/eB57gN #sxsw #busy

When your boss starts doing your job, you're done #busy

Avoid sitting around alone together. Put down the phone and talk to someone near you. #busy

"I think no one should be a columnist for more than 10 years" #busy

Is #sxsw a place where lots of smart people just sit there "alone together"? #busy

Carr: "Life events won’t have the value" they used to, because we're so plugged into the digital world all the time #busy

the real question in "I have to tweet or blog this".. What are we really accomplishing or fulfilling? #busy

"Twitter doesn't want anything from you. #busy”

Non digital natives can avoid distraction by getting narrative up and going; then do the fact checking on the net. #busy #sxswi

Twitter rewires your brain.. "I have to tweet this" #busy

procrastination is fear. Find the resources to get things done.

Theme of #busy panel at #sxsw appears to be: do you control the tools or do they control you?”

what fear is keeping you from accomplishing & being productive?#busy

"To write my book I had to rent a cabin in the woods that only had dial-up. The web was too distracting." - @carr2n #busy

"When my battery is dead I get a little afraid." @molls #busy

A Blind man w/ cane talking on cell phone (b/c he couldn't text) = metaphor for #busy”

Do you feel uncomfortable when you don't have your phone or your battery dies #busy

Awesome audience point: "IM, Twitter, web arent the problem, our brains are the destroyers of all productivity." #busy

"my son is my biggest distraction, not social media" #busy


So busy socially promoting, not DOING what we should be promoting. #sxsw

Isn't it a cliche to say new media is destroyer of all productivity?#busy #SXSW

There's no need to leave voicemails. We see the missed call. #busy

No one answers the phone anymore. Leave a VM? You're on the shitlist #busy

If you leave me a voicemail, you instantly make my shit list... Tweet, IM, FB, email me #busy

For geeks, Twitter has replaced IM #busy

"I feel like I should quit the internet and go back to nature." ~ @molls#sxsw #busy

It's a 24 hour market. Time to burst the bubble. "There's this day trading in the industry of self: what is going on with ME? #busy

Do bloggers/social media people get paid to waste time? #busy

You used to have to wait 6 mths to find out what people thought of you; now it picks up on Twitter in 6 secs @carr2n #busy

"There's this day trading in the world of self," via @carr2n #sxsw”

So busy socially promoting, not DOING what we should be promoting. #sxsw #busy

Nobody cares about long form journalism anymore #busy

the web is the destroyer of all known productivity - david carr (@carr2n) #busy”

The F word is the word of the #sxsw conference.. Every session I've been in has said it

You check your twitter, RSS, FB, etc.. Then repeat. You don't ever get anything done #busy

Carr: "Web 3.0 is when the A/V works" #busy #sxswi

"How to Personalize w/o Being Creepy" - w/ @dochugo, @noahweiss, @MatHarris @kingjen, @vijayravindran#SeeNoCreepy #SXSWi

#seenocreepy @jeffjarvis defines serendipity as "Stumbling upon unexpected relevance."

Too much content personalization can lead to loss of serendipity.#seenocreepy

serendipity on the web = stumbling upon unexpected relevance#SeeNoCreepy

How about an engine that tells you that your friends haven't seen this and they will think it's interesting? #SeeNoCreepy

#seenocreepy Websites need to explain what's going on, make accessible, clear statement what you'll do with data with outside firms.”

@cleverkate thanks... Hope it's not too much... Just trying to find nuggets to share for those not here

A lot of people don't realize that when they are sharing their data, it's later being sold #SeeNoCreepy

The point of personalization is relevance. Time is important. Why waste time on unimportant things? - @dochugo from @hunch#seenocreepy”

Google "ad preferences" to see what Google thinks you are interested in #SeeNoCreepy

Users poor don't realize long term trade offs of giving up their data. Today its ok, tomorrow not. #seenocreepy”

Personalization is creepy when there's a risk of embarrassing your users #seenocreepy

Distinction- customization vs personalization - trying to be helpful and full-on surveillance #seenocreepy #sxswi

summary so far - show users incentives to giving data, transparency, set expectations and easy to opt-out”

free is not free, you are paying with your data

Don't make opting out difficult. You would never create a building without any emergency exits. #SeeNoCreepy

Free is not free, you are paying by giving up your information#SeeNoCreepy

Simply by using FBConnect, et al, users are by default opting in#SeeNoCreepy

If you violate expectations, hard to regain trust. Not trying to get laid the first night. Start #with a kiss.

Think about personalization as a dialogue #SeeNoCreepy

Like in life - intimacy (personalization) requires foundation of solid relationship #sxswi

What's the line between being too creepy and personalization? Trust and expectations of your audience #SeeNoCreepy

Brand marketers are like 17YO boys trying to get laid for the first time: how quickly can i get intimate with my customers?#SeeNoCreepy

Transparency: There needs to be clear communication; easy ways for customers to opt out, modify info access #SeeNoCreepy

Brand marketers are acting like 17 y/o boys and are trying to get intimate too fast #SeeNoCreepy

People don't read privacy policies #SeeNoCreepy

People have a long-tail of interest. Personalization gives you something specific to you #SeeNoCreepy

The point of personalization is to put something more relevant, and therefore more delightful in front of you. #seenocreepy #sxsw

"Life's too short to see a generic website." Your time is worth something and personalized websites are value-added.#seenocreepy”

@hunch learns about what people like and sends personalized recommendations hunch.com” #SeeNoCreepy
