Transforming Conventional Applications into Social Software
|
|
The last few years have seen the growth of social networking services, as well as products that allow businesses to tap the value of social networks.
However, there are a large number of legacy applications which do not leverage social networking data in any way. The next frontier in the evolution of these is to embed social software capabilities into these applications.
This session will describe design decisions and factors that need to be considered to undertake such an effort and provide suggestions on how to make the transition.

Turning a Real-Life Event Into an Online Experience
|
|
For years, the TED Conference was a well-kept secret, known primarily to the 1000 or so people who attended each year. All that changed in 2006, when the talks from the conference first appeared online. (The talks have now been watched more than 140 million times) On TED.com our challenge is to share the magic of a premium real-world conference with an online audience that may or may not ever attend the event.

How to Design Web Apps People Love
|
|
There's been a paradigm shift in business over the last 20 years. Users and customers don't want companies to just exist and take their money. They want a relationship. They want to fall in love. And when it comes to software and the Internet, where you don't have the benefits and reminders of face to face interactions, it's easy to forget how a little love goes a long way. Join us as we look at how companies and their products are wooing their users, keeping the romance alive and sustaining lasting relationships that turn out to make for profitable returns.

As social technologies become woven into our lives, our breadcrumbs become more varied and dimensional.
Making sense of this information is challenging- for users and marketers.
Methods from social and personality psychology are potential antidotes. Enough with pages views to demonstrate value. How can analysis account for the rich depth of data?

Mobile - the Great Channel Equalizer
|
|
The proliferation of mobile applications and the mobile web has many talking about the mobile platform as the next great media channel. The relative egalitarianism of the Apple App Store has in many ways flattened the advantage that traditional media channels (broadcasters, cable, national/global web brands) have in reaching consumers. Come listen to big media companies and start-ups talk about how smartphones, applicaitons and the mobile web are changing their businesses.
