Question: What role does video conferencing typically play in your work or personal life?

Dear IXDA Members,
I'm studying the personas that adopt video conferencing tools. If you use video conferencing, which product do you use and for what purpose (work, personal, or both)? What are your top three expectations when using or purchasing a video conferencing product? How frequently do you use video conferencing?
 
Thank you for your time and input!

Q: Information overload: how do you keep track?

There is so much great information and new concepts and exciting
theories on this list, and links to same. My feeble brain can't keep up.

How do I keep track of the stuff I want to remember? In a format where
I can remember WHY I wanted to remember it in the first place? I feel
like I could spend my life tagging in delicious.com and still never
keep up.

What do the rest of you do?

-- Kim

Expression Blend advice please

I'm learning Expression Blend / XAML / WPF etc. for a new .NET application
design project. The tool (and WPF underneath) is large and baffling, but I'm
not too worried about that. Practice time will help me grow more proficient,
and I'm decent with C# and XML. I've got a great developer to partner with.

What I would really like to know more about though comes in at a bit higher
level. I'd like to know more about what works (or not) in a Blend project.
Those of you with Blend experience...

- Is there something you built the first time, and then tore out and rebuilt
differently?

re try: what is your favorite mobile/touch web site?

I like:
- New York Times because of good typography, everything there is so clear.
- BBC home page it resembles non-mobile site and it's easy to read
- AOL is ok, but nothing special
- because of my work I use very often http://lajt.onet.pl/ we have a lot of
content, so you can find there maps, news, weather, mail etc.
- flickr is nice because it's easy to use

Actually, I use these web site I use in my PC.

Masters Programs for Non-Design Backgrounds

Hello -

I've been following this group off-and-on for the past few years in hopes of
getting enough info to see if this is what I want. Now I'm ready to get my
act together and the plan is to apply to a masters program in the next year
or two.

Since I'm not from a design background, what sorts of things should I work
on (personally and professionally) to be a strong candidate for
admissions?
