> Greetings,

> I go to 20+ conferences a year and while many of the conferences have
> excellent programs, I often find myself learning the most from the
> after-hours activities. Often, these activities happen in bars, with a
> group of like-minded, extremely bright people. No specific agenda is
> on the table, yet somehow, the conversation turns out to be fun,
> thought provoking, and interesting.
>
> Inspired by some excellent podcasts I listen to regularly, I thought
> we could reproduce the fascinating discourse I've experienced at these
> non-official conference events for everyone's benefit. I contacted
> some folks who I thought would make great conversation and, to my
> surprise, they all jumped at the chance to partake in our little
> experiment.
>
> From this was born the first SpoolCast. It's a 90-minute recording of
> fascinating conversation on topics of user experience, usability, and
> design.
>
> Joining me for the first SpoolCast are:
>
> + DeWayne Purdy from the University of Northern Iowa
> + Kyle Pero from UsableInterface.com
> + Lyle Kantrovich from Human Factors International
> + Rashmi Sinha from Uzanto
> + Nate Bolt from Bolt|Peters
>
> In this inaugural recording, we discuss:
>
> + What can we learn from the new Brown University web site?
> + What does it mean to be usable?
> + Why is MySpace so successful?
> + Which is better designed, the new Brown Web Site or Craigslist?
> + How important is the design of a home page? (I think not so much.
> Everyone else disagrees.)
> + The value of social networking
> + The UPA Body of Knowledge project
> + The design experience, as it applies to conference design
>
> I've divided the recording into four parts, to make it easier to
> listen to during your commute or while you're out doing errands.
> (Alternatively, you can just listen on your computer.)
