A question-built-in-a-rant follows, I don't know if this should be in the agenda for IxDA (what do you think?) ... but many developers and most of the media still don't know what designing for behavior is. They don't even know that 1) such craft is necessary or 2) it exists. Inter... what?! They understand what they can look and/or feel (= atoms, pixels, sometimes code), but they don't know that for digital products that's not the whole story. Hopefully during year 2008, if some company introduces a product that has behaves exceptionally well, at least some journalists would mention (explicitly) that the product behaves exceptionally well; not (only) its form, its marketing, its hype, the look&feel, "ease of use", feature set, fanboy crowd, "revolutionary GUI", platforms or business alliances, but the _behavior_ of the product is exceptionally good. Polite, considerate, fudgable, empowering and so on. Really, if you look back to 2007, has there been any mainstream stories in the mainstream media that would mention good behavior as the main driver for why a product or a service has made a difference?
