My main takeaway from JJG's talk was that we could all be so much more effective, both internally and externally if we rallied together rather than going our separate ways.
To be quite honest I think there's more usage and grass roots support for UX than the vocal minority in either organization thinks. Take for example the job postings on the IxDA list - 38 in all at the moment, here's the breakdown of terms used to describe them: UX: 11 IxD: 9 Other: 9 UI: 8 IA: 1 I suspect we'd see the same if we looked at the IAI board. I also just looked through the IxDA and IAI discussion archives and quite honestly you could almost mix up the message headers and not know which messages came from which list! There is *so much* overlap - I just can't believe there is more benefit in the separation than we'd gain from all these smart people working together. - Richard . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
