Podcast on Social Design with Brian Oberkirch

by Joshua Porter  |   4 Comments

I recently got the chance to virtually sit down and have a chat with Brian Oberkirch about social web design, including lessons we can draw from Digg, Delicious, MySpace and some of the other leading social apps. Brian asks some really good questions!

Great interview Josh!
I really got liked your comment on the difference between “works great” and “good design”.

Robert Scoble had a post on anti-design which was another very interesting post on Design vs Functionality/Simplicity vs Complexity

I love when two seemingly unrelated bloggers I follow religiously crash together like this. Just an excellent interview. Thanks.

Thanks, Adam! I’m happy you enjoyed it. I love it when that happens, too. And Brian’s got a lot of other podcasts like that…

ABOUT

Bokardo is the blog of Joshua Porter, a web designer/developer, researcher, and writer. I live in Newburyport, MA, USA.

WHAT IS SOCIAL DESIGN?

Social design is design that focuses on the social lives of users. It deals with the activities, behaviors, and motivations of people who work and play together through software interfaces. It is built on the observation that many of the decisions we make are greatly affected by those we surround ourselves with in our social lives: our family, friends, and colleagues. Exploring our motivations and how to design interfaces to support them is what the Bokardo blog is all about.
