@Vishal lyer: Hi Vishal, to be honest, I've been putting off answering that question. The normal rule here is that the crowdvine site gets suspended, but sorta maintained for a while, but b/c of our rabid habit of talking our host is thinking of beta testing an "alumni" feature that would be brand new just for us.

@Joni Rustulka: My fault for not getting to meet, I am so sorry...we'll have to next year!
@ji kim: Hi,
As you requested, I have uploaded the PDF version of my presentation on my blog: http://www.ssdesigninteractive.com/blog/?p=113 (the small link below the video). Its about 30 mb due to the highres images.
Also I have put it up on slideshare (which might be faster then downloading the PDF):

@Don Habas: the hat stays, along with the Patriots pajamas on my man here...although you could consider them a choking hazard these days...kinda like an Eli jersey
@Cindy Chastain: This one might be useful too: Digital Storytelling: The Narrative Power of Visual Effects in Film
by Shilo T. McClean (Amazon).
@Cindy Chastain: This one is a pretty good book too: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0262134659/ref=pd_luc_0000202408051000262134659
@Pauric: aussie rules pool? you do NOT want to see me in those tiny shorts... believe me.
@Deneva Goins: Hey Deneva...no I haven't seen it. Thanks for the rec. It looks really interesting.
@Cindy Chastain: Hi Cindy.. you might enjoy the book Pause and Effect. I no longer have a copy, but check it out if you havent seen it already: http://www.pause-effect.com/
@Angel Anderson: Yes, The Fitts surely went down in (IxDA) musical history! Totally worth the humiliation. Next time let's pick a song we actually know though... and give ourselves a fighting chance ;)
@Susan Wyche: Susan, it was really nice to run into you! I regret missing your talk, but I will definitely check it out once they post them all online. Best of luck with the rest of your research :)
@Robert Barlow-Busch: hey robert, let me know if you're ever heading to toronto and we can make plans to meet.. i'll do the same if i'm heading your way.
I was wondering how Crowdvine will be used after the conference when this post came up in the online forum
"All of Adaptive Path's events for 2008 (UXI, MX, UX Week) will be using Crowdvine. If you already have an account, just join the new conference's community. All of your history in Crowdvine s stitched together for a cohesive experience across all participating conferences."
Nice!
@Meredith Noble: I'm glad we took the big risk even though it meant getting ousted in a giant fireball of musical failure. Besides you came up with the perfect IxDA band name, so what else did we really need?
@Matt Jones: Matt, great presentation. Definitely made me go back to Dopplr and give it a worthy second try.
I'll try to resist the temptation to change my weather app to Tuffte's ;)
Thanks!
@Dan Saffer: Dan, it was great to meet you on the weekend, hopefully we can chat again at another event soon!
@Jeremy Yuille: next year, Aussie Rules Pool showdown... just to give you half a chance of winning.
@Aza Raskin: loved your preso. You neatly put into words and visuals ideas I've been trying to preach. tx.
@Matt Jones: Hey Mat
tx for a very entertaining presentation, and a great time at the bar.
@Angel Anderson: Don't forget... you still owe us a dare for not asking a "question" during bill buxton's keynote...
@David Malouf: Great conference! I have already told everyone I know that they MUST make it to the next one. Can you tell me if/where the slides will be available from the presentations? Thanks so much for everything!
@David Malouf: Thanks for organizing such a well run, information-rich, conference where people took ideas, but never themselves, seriously. And thanks for taking the time to chat about the skill set of the future for interaction design.
@Matt Jones: Your line "Edward Tufte's iPhone would probably get us killed in Berlin" was my favorite of the conference.
@Andreas Drath: You're welcome on the Axure RP tip - it rocks.
Have a Safe trip back...
@Matt Jones: very good to have met you too.
a "met" button WOULD be cool - but a "meeted" button COULD be cooler.
we meeted. it was good.
@Emma van Niekerk: haha. hey, emma. i like how you befriended me AFTER the conference is over. it was good seeing you again. hope you returned to CA safely. i guess i'll see you at the next big design event?
@Dan Brown: Dan, thanks for the kind words. We're scheduled to have feedback for the Web 2.0 conference in April. So if you end up speaking at any conferences after that (like maybe the Adaptive Path series) you'll get your wish.
@Tony Stubblebine: Crowdvine suggestion: build session evaluations into the session descriptions? There were no eval forms during the conference (that I saw), but I'd love some near-real-time feedback on the content of my session. Otherwise, I'm loving Crowdvine and can't wait to see how it's used AFTER a conference.
@Jeremy Yuille: Great to meet you in person this weekend! Looking forward to a fruitful year...
The conference was beautiful, as were the attendees. I met everyone I had hoped to. But, due to my incredible celebrity status, I desided to wear my human costume and remain annonymous. Squirrels are sneaky by nature. Perhaps next year I will show up in the flesh... uh... fur.
Until then.
@Bruce Esrig: Thanks for the great conversation on Saturday, and all the assistance up to and through the event!
@Joni Rustulka: Good to meet you! (wouldn't it be great to have a 'met' button to go with the 'want-to-meet'?)
Thanks for the kind words and suggestions! I was really enjoying the conference but had to leave to get back to my family that is very sick. I hope everyone enjoys Sunday. I'm sorry I can't meet more people.
I really enjoyed giving my talk, by the way. Thanks to Dan Saffer and all the organizers for a wonderful conference.

@Andreas Drath: Loved your joyfully paced, gently rollicking Fats-Waller-style rendition of familiar ragtime tunes.
@Alan Cooper: Alan,
It was great to spend time talking with you tonight. I promise to lead the insurgence at my company. I'm sure I will change the world but on the off chance it doesn't work out please save room for me in that cushy basement! Lois
@JoAnne Wang: Thanks for the drink tonight! I never win anything, so it was a huge treat.
@Chris Conley: Chris, yours was my favourite talk of the whole day! Thanks for bringing up some really interesting and relevant examples, and for bringing the audience into the discussion. It was an ideal format with fabulous content!
I was particularly struck by the anthropomorphism aspect of each of the examples you gave. It seems that the most natural way to have things *resonate* with humans is to get them to *act* like humans in some way -- it makes them instantly understandable. Good examples of this technique are so rare in today's design landscape that we are quite surprised and delighted by them. (My other favourite example is OS X shaking its 'head' when you type your login password incorrectly.) I wonder if this is an innate sort of delight (finding an interface that acts like us) or whether the delight will wear off as techniques of this kind become more commonplace. Is it engaging because it's novel, or because of something more fundamental?
Anyway, good luck evolving your thoughts on the topic further, and thanks for bringing us into the discussion today!
@Brianna Roberts: This is the voting site I mentioned...helpful in picking a candidate, but also a compelling research methodology.

@Jai Godara: Don't stop talking! Perceptive observation, insight and wit are in short supply.
@Gail Leija: and my day too :P ... It was such a pleasure and fun listening to you guys that I at times I totally forgot to speak up, which is a good thing, of course ;) ... My resolution for the day, I have to talk more to you guys and be in an absolute sponge mode =D
Hope Aleve works wonders for you...feel better :)
@Michael T Pullen: Michael - enjoyed meeting you today and having lunch - we should keep in touch since we are in the same industry verticle - financial industry rocks with interaction complexity!
@Gail Leija: Gail - you and Mike made my day - I promise I'll write that article - if you promise to be my editor!
@John Monberg: Jon, great meeting you. Let's stay in touch about opportunities for your students. Dante...dmurphy@digitashealth.com
@Chris Conley: Chris, great talk today. I mentioned the concept of objects and secondary (non-player) characters, one of many ideas extracted from Jim Thompson's "Game Design" book (Wiley). Check it out! Dante
@Trit Mulligan: Make sure you bring your light up yo-yo to our design reviews. It's colorful, and it gives me the giggles.
@Katie Johnston: Hey Katie. I can't believe you fell for the whole "hey, eat this orchid, it's good!" trick. That's the oldest one in the book. :)
@Linus Graybill: the previous message (see the message below) about the articles of Nielsen was ment for you, I was to trigger happy with the send button.
These are the stages every organisation has to go through:

These are early and late evangelizing approaches:

Further more this might be of general interest:

The last article might be interesting in a late stages, however you might find it inspiring in relation to corporate culture. My point of view is that every employee is a responsable rolemodel for corporate
culture, setting example by doing.
@Fred Beecher: I'll definitely look for you guys on Saturday. Look forward to meeting you...
@Simon A Asselbergs: it was really great meeting you last night! don't let me forget to get the name of that neilsen article from you.
@Todd Holmberg: Hi Todd, look forward to seeing you. I'm really interested in the sorts of data feeds publishers make available, and how they can be accessed.
@Linus Graybill: good to meet ya in the lobby bar--Karen & I had fun chatting with you and with Simon.
@Anh Dang: Hi Anh - interested in learning about your experiences with Razorfish. Looking forward to meeting you sometime this weekend!
@John Monberg: Hiya John, interested to meet you -- my academic background is Rhetoric and Professional Writing. I remember an observation years ago by Richard Buchanan that rhetoric commonly rears its head in designers' backgrounds. Anyone else here who'd claim similar training? Always fun to chat about rhetoric's connections with IxD.
@Carl DiSalvo: Carl,
I am in the Department of Writing, Rhetoric and American Cultures at Michigan State University and share your interests in design and community engagement. I look forward to meeting you at IxDA.

@Josh Evnin: Hi Josh - Glad to meet you (virtually). My company is moving towards Agile and am interested in better understanding its integration with UCD. Looking forward to the workshop tomorrow afternoon!
@Peer Sathikh: Hi again Peer,
I'll post updates to getting together here:
http://interaction08.crowdvine.com/posts/show/407293
Hopefully we can find a convenient time for everyone to meet.
@Fred Beecher: Those restaurants all sound tasty! I am looking forward to it. Have a great trip.
@Lois Lewis: It's a deal. When do we have a break for this sort of thing, anyway?
@Will Tschumy: let's be sure to have a drink and talk about the acquisition that must not be talked about
@Brianna Roberts: Hey Brianna... We're meeting at 6:30 on Saturday outside the main entrance to The River Club to go find somewhere to eat and discuss IxD for the creative process. Here are some restaurant suggestions: http://tinyurl.com/yvbnav
