Overall, I think the interface and interactions of this concept present interesting design functions combining social features and Flash techniques. It is however not all that unique and higher capacity, more dynamic interfaces, such as Ben fry%u2019s Organic Interfaces at the media lab years ago pose more interesting questions about interaction and form.
However, Will, I feel that to suggest that UX peeps working in the "marketing/advertising agencies%u201D are less trained or should approach there projects without adhering to UX principles and heuristics is flat wrong. I have been waiting for a thread to discuss the problems or marketing, selling and advertising in relation to UX in general. I have worked in application and product design, but have found the unique challenges such as the balance, visual design, engagement, storytelling and branding in relation to usefulness and necessity to be more interesting and ultimately more rewarding.
