I've had a post in draft for a couple of weeks now about some personal/professional goals or my New Year's resolutions for 2009.  I read Chris Brogan's " Your 3 Goals for 2009 " and I loved his process. few blog redesign resources I need to sink my teeth into after I share my goals, audience, etc. This is a bonus goal. 

reached out to Avinash and he was very generous with his time, helping us understand traditional web metrics as well as Google Analytics.   Experimentation also helps an organization make decisions based on audience feedback and analytics data, not your own hunches.  Through our conversation, we also touched on the metrics for blogs.

Both of these designers presented compelling images and evidence from exhibit work and child development experts about the idea that you can make sophisticated, muted exhibits that help children slow down, focus, and enjoy themselves with interactive content. The REFLECTS project blends practical institutional demands with deep research.

This world-wide fundraiser, with a $1 million fundraising goal, brought together the Twitter community for an evening of fun and to raise money and awareness for charity: water. Last week, I was in San Francisco leading a workshop and helped organized a group of attendees for TwestivalSF. What is its relationship with charity:water?

And, of course, crowd sourcing is a technique being used across the social sector for different goals.  These were (as captured by blogger Marcia Stephanek ): Open Green Map , offered up by Holly Ross, helps communities map their eco-friendly spots, whether it's a bike rack or a solar-heated apartment complex or a public herb garden.

This metric is only meaningful (to me) when considered against a goal. My goal was consistency which for me means to blog daily or 30 posts per month. believe it has also helped with increased reader numbers and possibly reader retention. So, calculating this number help me see if I've kept this promise with myself.

The intention was not to shame or punish the child for "mistakes" in behavior, but provide an opportunity for reflection and learning.   Here is a quick brainstorm of questions we could ask that might help networks reflect more effectively. Questions to Help Deep Reflection Occur. In what ways? 3.Did it fall short?

Some Facebook background… Our target audience for Facebook is nonprofit staff or board members who are looking for help making software decisions. My goal was to have interactions by 10 unique fans, we had 14. Also, my goal of having a certain number of “interactions” is along the right idea, but I would like to tailor that even more.

Here are a few design rules I use to think about what kinds of designed dialogue environments are right for different experience goals. If your goal is to encourage visitors to perceive themselves as partners in the content co-creation experience, make room for their thoughts sooner rather than later. "Where were you last night?"
