Three talks from Reboot you should check out

I am back from two days of Reboot in Copenhagen. The theme of the conference was Free, and there were sessions on everything from the philosophy of free, prisons and what their phsychology of non-free mean when thinking about free, to economics, free bandwidth and relationsships in a connected world. Below are short introductions and links to slides for three talks I found especially interesting and recommend you take a look at.

Facerank is the next phase of web relevancy

Jyri Engeström did a talk about social objects, how they connect people and how the web of relationships will be the new way to determine the relevance of content. Very interesting thoughts and some great tips on literature.

Context is the new content

Soundcloud founders Eric Wahlforss and Alexander Ljung tried to summarize their position and what shifts they are seeing in the music space online and with web services in general. On of the points they highlight is how context is becoming more and more important as the content itself is easy to get hold of, but boring without for example the artwork, artist presence or friend opinions.

Designing the User Experience Curve

Interaction designer Andy Budd did an interesting talk about how you can think about the user experience curve and design for it, to make sure your users are taken on a good ride through your service. Andy draws on examples from old and proven service businesses like hotels, theme parks and shops.
