Today's bit of Marketing, Customer Experience, Design & Product Development advice comes from the archives of Kathy Sierra 's blog: "Your job is to anticipate...

Paul started an office pick-up soccer game. It's been giving us a mid-day rush, that feeling of being physically worked, but mentally thrilled. I recall pickup games in college bing like that.

As an educator who began a high school book club blog this year in Ontario, I have generally been pleased with the results. The quote from Kathy Sierra's site is a good one, however, "The more you use your reins, the less they'll use their brains." A teacher moderated blog is necessary to raise the literacy bar, but too much structure may dampen the latent enthusiasm within students to write.

Kathy Sierra’s session, as you can expect was great. She’s a talented speaker, and has good stuff to say. She did, however, assume that most people in the audience had heard lots of her presentations in the past - so she went really fast, and at some of the points below simply said “you've heard [...]
