Webstock - Post thoughts

Webstock was as usual, great..

Key messages

• Location based and context aware experiences are going to be more and more prevalent
• Test with users
• Test early and often
• Design with emotion of the experience in mind
• Usability is only one component of the user experience

It was great to catchup with peers from different disciplines and see some Australians come to Webstock this year. SPread the word guys and hopefully NZ will reciprocate sending people over to UX Australia this year.

http://bemorehuman.org/ - I'm quoting here because I'm lazy "
Silverstripe had a booth where "each conference attendee was given a card that asked the question: "How do humans win?" The attendees filled out the card with their answers and placed it on the wall according to where they thought their answer fit on the grid. Is it serious or funny? Is it complex or simple?"

"Friday afternoon, Webstock speakers Mark Pesce and John Resig each chose an attendee's response as their favourite answer. Our congratulations to the winners!

• Peter Grierson: By synthesizing experiences (and making mistakes) into something new & keeping emotion in the equation."

Thanks Silverstripe, Mark and John for selecting my offering.
