(Event) TechSpeak for Entrepreneurs - 2 Day Bootcamp - Phoenix, Silicon Valley, New York

Hello IXDA Community,

I want to invite the IXDA community to attend the TechSpeak for Entrpereneurs bootcamps that I will be teaching in 3 cities:

Other Great Networking Sites?

Good morning & good afternoon to some of you-

Live Mesh? Does it heed well to put up personal and work data online?

I was researching on new technology and media for RIA and found Live Mesh. I found that it seamlessly connects your data through Windows PC, Mac, Mobile Phone, and other devices. It is an interesting concept and would we not want all our work to be seamlessly, updated wherever we are on the go?

Copywriting?

Hi,

From time to time I find myself struggling with writing very short
describing text labels and titles for our web application's UI.

Writing text labels and titles for the UI is much like writing road
signs, people go by them in very high speeds and you have a limited
amount of space.

I wanted to ask, how many of you work in companies who hire full time
copywriters? Part time?

Do you have a special UI copywriter adviser outsourced?

Or do you manage by yourselves and just advise anyone around you?

Thanks,

Amihay.

What comes first, the Design or the Technology ...

What are the opinions here about what comes first, the Design or the
Technology?

I am currently designing a web application from an existing windows
application. No decision had been made at the time as far as the technology
to be used, only that it would be a web application. So I designed like I
normally do, I composite/mock up designs in Fireworks, and then build the
high fidelity prototypes with xhtml/css/javascript. We have been showing
our prototypes to users and have received a lot of great feedback and
approval.

Development has now decided to use Adobe Flex for the front end.
