The power of three. Used for presentations or speeches and now on websites.
It's a magic number. Why?
Designing for mobility & context

37 Signals added a new feature to Basecamp a couple of weeks ago - you can now respond to project messages directly from email. It sounds simple, but under the hood I'm sure it was tough. But this simple addition has made a huge difference.

Post-Boot Camp
– posted April 25th, 2008 by Shane Diffily
At 4.50pm yesterday - just 10 minutes from the end of Boot Camp '08 - a massive power
outage struck south Dublin. Despite the sudden loss of lighting and overhead projectors, our resouceful iQ presenters managed to wrap up successfully.
Drinks in the Long Hall and Hogan's pubs followed and helped to soothe our throats after 3 long days of lecturing.
Thanks to all our delegates for helping to make Boot Camp '08 such a great event.

Web 'governed'
– posted April 24th, 2008 by Shane Diffily
Wouldn't you know it - after waiting days for the chance to present at Boot Camp, today I get to host not 1, but 2 workshops. Lucky me!
Delegate feedback to my Web Governance course (just finished) was pretty good. We covered a lot of ground.
If I were to run it again, I would probably include more about Website Standards and the documentation of site management. Several people expressed interest in getting extra information on these topics.

Des, Tom, Paul and Krishna have just finished their presentations at the Future Now seminar. Each speaker gave his/her own view on where the web is going - from web 1.0 to web 2.0 and as far ahead as web 4.0 (which I never even considered before).
Web analytics & the spare iPhone

Taking up from where Clodagh finished yesterday in "Web Analytics 101", Brian Donohue is currently hosting an advanced session on the same subject.
It also transpired that a spare iPhone was needed to help deliver one module of the workshop.

Web writing: the value of real-life insights
– posted April 22nd, 2008 by Shane Diffily
For many years, iQ has been delivering a "Writing for the Web 101" course. Of all our training events this one is consistently over-subscribed.
Resident iQ web writer Elizabeth McGuane hosted the course at this afternoon's Boot Camp session. As a former journalist with The Sunday Business Post, her practical advice proved valuable for attendees.
