Micro-Interactions at SXSW

I'm hoping to bring the gospel of micro-interactions (vs. advertising) to SXSW, but will need your help if you'd like to see me there.  If that sounds good to you, vote here.

Lots of other great panels as well.  Here's a few you should look at.
Convincing With Pictures, Dan Roam
Start Small, Stay Small, Jeffrey Zeldman
Being a UX team of one, Leah Buley
Friendship is Dead, Russ Unger
From the Roman Agora to the Mobile Web, Chris Carfi
Making Whuffie, Tara Hunt
Is the Mouse Dead Yet?, Chris Bernard
Embracing Your Customer Evangelists, Mack Collier
Curiosity Marketing, Rohit Bhargava
Your Brand is Not My Friend, Alan Wolk

There are many more—too many to mention, if you have a panel that you'd like to get some exposure to, please leave a link in the comment section here and I promise to get it out on Twitter. Hope to see you in Austin!

Sorry, hit "post" prematurely!

David, thank you for your kind offer. I am offering a panel on Discovery-Driven Growth: Breakthrough Innovation Management.
DIVX. Iridium. Pets.com. Expensive flops, conventionally planned. What’s needed are radically different disciplines for managing pioneering projects. Discovery Driven Growth will be core to successful innovation in the future, according to guru Clayton Christensen. I’ll show how it works for entrepreneurial ventures in companies such as Nokia and for startups.

Hey David,

I'm a big fan of your blog. Thanks for the opportunity to share my SXSW idea.

My presentation is titled "Why Gen-Y Won't Friend Your Brand". I will be proposing next-generational social media marketing tactics that work specifically for Gen Y.

Thanks for sharing the micro-interaction gospel, David. Here's an idea that my friend Ric Ewing and I proposed for SxSW 2009... I'm sure some of our examples will show how micro-interactions (which can be random in behavior) can be aggregated and visualized.

Randomize This! Exploiting Chance in Interactive Experiences

Web sites with exploratory interfaces depend on randomness and just-in-time processing to delight users. We'll walk through a range of Web sites and applications that exploit randomness, then get technical by revealing the inner workings and implementation of randomness in Web technologies as well as the math that makes it sing.
