Welcome to the second episode of the Josh and Jared Show, where Joshua Porter and I get together and discuss the interesting happenings in the world of experience design.
This episode touched upon:
» The design of MySpace and big reactions we hear
» The effect of life stages on design, judging value for different age groups
» Virb: “a beautiful MySpace” or “MySpace done tastefully?” Will it catch on?
» The communal feeling of Flickr and Twitter
» Social Design field research: What kind of social interaction is already happening?
» Starting from scratch vs. mining things like Del.icio.us tags for pre-existing useful content

Enjoyed the show overall, and there were a couple of great nuggets. Josh’s comment about using Delicious for research was golden!
However, it seemed like you didn’t have much of a plan for the show - maybe if you had more of a format it would be easier/better?
For example:
1) What have you been working on lately?
2) Main topic of the show
3) News
4) Responding to feedback
My favorite podcasts are the ones where they have a consistent format so I know what’s coming up. These ones hold together much better than when the presenters just chat about random stuff.
