It's human to want to be god;)

Great topic (and what a line-up you've arranged)!

This is one of the persistently overlooked issues, much the way that CMS and content strategy lagged behind pumping out pretty facades online. The boilerroom or control room need not have shiny rounded corners but it damn well better be usable and well designed nonetheless!

Voting up, hope you make it. (Selfishly, too, as I'm eager to compare notes related to your forthcoming book, Gavin!)
