Go with the Flow: Patterns for Onboarding and Virality in Social Interfaces [and] That Resonates with Me! How to Change the World One Presentation at a Time

Go with the Flow: Patterns for Onboarding and Virality in Social Interfaces
Erin Malone, Tangible UX

Designing social sites and experiences can't be done without considering the entire evolution of flow across several important facets. It's not one thing that will make or break a user's ability to engage, but rather the flow across different aspects of interaction that, when woven together, create a whole greater than the parts together.

In this session we will explore the onboarding and viral virtuous cycles—flows—that are prevalent in the social landscape. These clusters and groups of interaction patterns and processes come together like puzzle pieces, creating rich, engaging experiences.

In this flow we will discuss invitations, registration, welcoming, engagement, sharing and other methods which start this virtual cycle over again, with the ultimate goal of getting people into your social experience—and having them bring their friends along.

That Resonates with Me! How to Change the World One Presentation at a Time
Nancy Duarte, Duarte Design

If you say "I have an idea for something," what you really mean is "I want to change the world in some way." You might not be able to change the entire world, but what is "the world" anyway? It is simply all of the ideas of all our ancestors. Look around you. Your clothes, language, furniture, house, city, and nation all began as visions in other minds. Humans love to create. And creating starts with an idea that can change the world.

"The only reason to give a speech is to change the world." --John F. Kennedy
