• FlickrBlog
  Gah! This is the first time Flickr introduces a feature I don’t like. Collections that can be nested up to 5 levels deep… An IxD’s nightmare – haven’t they ever heard of file piles being superior to hierarchies?

• Spore demo at SXSW – Total Spore
  Another Spore video! This one has Will Wright talking you through the game. It was taped at SXSW.

• San Jose Mercury News – Takahashi: It takes a (virtual reality online) village
  A news item on how at the GDC it was obvious game designers & developers are paying close attention to the social software revolution taking place on the web.

• GDC: Tetris Legend Wins Game Design Challenge | Gamasutra – GDC 2007 Event Coverage
  “There’s nothing stopping us from conceiving of games and from having exercises like the game design challenge,” — well maybe there is: brash commercialism.

• Ferry den Dopper’s blog on User Experience – De opmars van het gebruikersperspectief in het ontwerpproces
  Er is volgens mij geen verband tussen de opkomst van web 2.0 en UX, het lagen van usability, UCD en UX vind ik onlogisch, UX is niet hetzelfde als XD, Morville’s honingraat wordt verkeerd uitgelegd en UX moet wél het doel zijn van ieder project!

  Alexandra remains aggravated by RCA’s move to rename its IxD course to Design Interactions. I prefer having a narrow, exact definition of IxD (to prevent the IA effect) but at the same time want to be able to branch out into a wide range of areas.
