\"Vote<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m excited but still somewhat churlish about posting this, the obligatory Vote for Me at SXSW!<\/a> post. But I think there could be some great insights to come out of this event. It seems that time for the industry. Time for a bit of critical thinking and deeper investigation.<\/p>\n

As many of you know from talking to me, my take on social interaction design is as much sociological as it is design. I’ll be presenting (given the chance) an overview of core concepts and insights, key questions and issues, and examples.<\/p>\n

I’m hoping that by the time the panel comes around a number of us will have had a chance to blog and talk on this topic. My sense is that a number of us recognize that designs, features, architecture, and other tools in the designer’s toolbox cannot explain or structure the social alone. That the interaction is not between user and screen but user and user. The timing feels right for a deeper look at what drives social media participation.<\/p>\n
