Ik heb Luis gis­teren zien spreken op de HAN. Was ver­make­lijk en leverde wel wat inter­es­sante ideeën op voor feed­back loops in algo­rit­misch opge­bouwde sites. Daar vol­gt nog een post over.

“At Nokia, we have an inter­nal mar­ket for ideas. There could be some­one in Nokia who wants research, and they will come to us.” — That’s a cool envi­ron­ment for a user researcher to work in, I think.

“The preva­lence of social net­works and com­mu­ni­ty sites is erod­ing our abil­i­ty to keep our­selves to our­selves. In order to ‘take part’ you need to give a lot away and if you don’t play you could be con­spic­u­ous by your absence.”
