Out of the box – book from adrian333 on Vimeo.

One could argue that “No Manual” needed is the pinnacle of product design but if you’re going to make a “manual” you could do far worse than this. So much nicer to help people experience your product in order to learn rather than just telling them how it works. Just lovely. (ht @adamwohl)

How did it take civilization this long to come up with something that makes SO MUCH SENSE? Sadly, you can’t go out and buy one yet but hopefully someday soon you will be able to.

Speaking of economy, it unfortunately looks like you can’t buy these yet, but now that the idea is out there someone will be marketing them soon. Nothing that’s invented ever dies. Especially not when it’s this cute and immediately useful.

Next Thursday I’ll be speaking on a panel called “Location, Location, Location” at Ad Age’s Creativity and Technology conference.

The details of the panel are as follows:

6:20 Panel: Location, Location, Location

Location-based services will undoubtedly be a bigger part of your personal life and the brand creativity world in the coming days. Find out how this space is evolving, for users and for brands, how user experience will progress, how it’ll all be monetized, and the new ways that local businesses and big brands will be involved. And what about your privacy? If you play along, do you forfeit it? Find out where it’s at from two of the biggest players in the LBS game, each of whom take a different approach to location.

 

Moderator: Kunur Patel, Advertising Age

 

Panelists:

Alex Rainert, Head of Product, Foursquare

Dave Wang, VP, Business Development, Booyah

Tina Unterlaender, Account Director, AKQA Mobile

Should be really fun. I’m also looking forward to checking out some of the other panels and speakers that day. Check out the full agenda – some really great stuff in there. Hope to see you there!

ps: I believe you can still register here.
