UXCamp in Berlin - Recap
A short recap of the UXcamp Europe 2010. Impressions, session, contacts, things learned.
Sessions
There have been 59 session each 45 minutes within 2 days. So you had to select wisely which sessions to attend, and switch sessions once you noticed you were in the wrong session
mobile ux design
talked about mobile ux design, mentioning a couple of good books:
Learned about the 1cm² rule (touch buttons should never be smaller than 1cm² - the size of a keyboard key).
Content strategy, Ove Dalen, Eirik Hafver
Talked about the long neck, long tail paradigm and how the increased the conversion for their customers by deleting content. The little top (20%) of your content is the long neck, but the long tail (80%) may in the end bring more conversion. But if you struggle with the content volume, cut the tail.

Aloha
We had a lot of good talks on the first day, and told about our Aloha vision. Due to the massive interest, we decided to make and hold an Aloha presentation on the second day. Pointing out the problem Aloha adresses, the solution we have in mind, and the current development status of the new Aloha editor.
The live demo ist still under development (you need to know what to click to make ist work), so please be patient. We hope to have a demo and community site up somewhen in july. By following haymo and my tweets, you’ll be the first to know.
