I arrived in Miami, FL late last night for the IA Summit, and right now I’m sitting in the first all-day pre-conference session called “Design and Architecture of Social Web Experiences“.
So far, this session has provided a grounding in what social networks are, and we’ve had our first “workshop” of the day. Everyone has been assigned a different website to consider how social experiences might be integrated. My group is considering how to design a social web experience for a non profit that helps children with cancer. First step: figure out the business goals, user goals, and overall strategy.
Most of all, I’ve really enjoyed meeting the people here. Really smart people. And people who understand what I do! What a rare thing.
I’ll update later with more thoughts from the session.
