WebVisions recap
posted by DL Byron on July 19, 2004
I think WebVisions went well. Our presentation was in the “technology” track, but our talk had a lot about user experience and brand. So we tried to cover both angles a little bit and I fear it might have got a bit scattered.
The toughest thing is we never know the knowledge level of the audience, so I never know how basic/advanced to make things like this. So I fear some people were bored and some were confused. I talked about this with a couple people at the conference and the consensus seems to be that this is the way most conferences are. You just have to do your thing - hopefully by covering a range of things we had something for everyone.
Byron had some strangers come up to him after the presentation and say it was good. He also got an email from someone saying ours was “the most interesting of the day.” So that’s a good sign and great to hear.
I missed Byron’s panel, instead opting to listen to Keith’s presentation. I had heard there was slide featuring 50 cent and I couldn’t pass that up. I think Keith did a good job. Some of the ideas he talked about seemed to relate to some of the ideas we talked about, which I think is a good thing. And I found out about a Flash replacement thing that I hadn’t heard of. I actually had a very similar idea awhile ago, but never got around to doing anything about it - which is probably good because this one looks more robust and well thought out than anything I could’ve come up with.
If anyone out there saw our presentation and has any comments please let us know.
