Developing UX

In June I’ll be the local Silverlight expert, leading a technology track on Rich Internet Applications (RIA) at a Microsoft’s BizSpark event, SparkStart.

From the official announcement:

SparkStart is a full day of business and technology discussion (open format) and learning event for startups (“startup bootcamp”). This event will also be a networking opportunity for those startups who are new to the BizSpark program and not yet enrolled in the program and would like to mingle and learn from key business and technology influencers. It will also be an event for those startups who are recently enrolled and need to keep the momentum going by learning key strategies for success, both in business, and in technology.

I’m looking forward to checking out Microsoft’s new Technology Center in Las Colinas, TX – It’s an amazing building!

It’s going to be an incredible event for startups and entrepreneurs to learn, network and get to know some of the incredible technologies that are now available. I’m especially looking forward to hanging out with some of the other people that will be presenting at the event. (too name a few)

• Local start up expert, Alex Muse
• Social Media Expert, Giovanni Gallucci
• Blake Burris of Facebook development and CoHabitat fame
• Angel investment and venture consulting mastermind Marc Nathan
• Microsoft User Experience Architect Christian Thilmany
• Microsoft Architect Brian Gorbett

Check out SparkStart on twitter and read some of Christian’s other related posts. Be sure to register. It’s going to be an amazing day!

 10. OpenID / OAuth Support. I know, I know… you guys are all over this, along with a better Jabber API, hCards and several other projects. Having worked on a couple of twitter applications it would be so nice to have OAuth… and as a user, OpenID would be very nice as well.

9. @Replies view in mobile Twitter. I don’t watch twitter all day, every day. Who does? So it makes it very nice to sit down and hit the "replies" view on the main web page to make sure that I haven’t missed anything that was specifically directed to me. When I’m on my mobile phone http://m.twitter.com is one of the best ways that I’ve found to use twitter. Its’ just very frustrating to not have a @replies view there! While we’re on the @replies topic… it would also be nice to include replies if your @name was mentioned anywhere in the response, not just first. (we’ll call that 9.2   )

I noticed this today while I was on Twitter.

UPDATE: As @MaggiePluPlus pointed out. This only seems to affect FireFox and not Internet Explorer… strange indeed!

I was on @Wally_G’s profile page when I first noticed it (and he’s a computer crime police type guy). You’ll notice that Chuck Olsen’s name appears instead of his twitter profile image.  Also, notice that his name is taking up 3 spaces of images. I thought that maybe this was just some fluke, some twitter hick-up (I know, what are the odds of that!). So I checked
