“The role of narrative in the Web experience is a pressing concern throughout the Web world, from entertainment to ecommerce. How can we manage the narrative experience in the presence of both interaction and animation? We hope to bring together a small group of leading writers, designers, and theoreticians to define (and extend) the state of the art in an intense weekend roundtable and workshop.” November 11-12, 2000 Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

“Here you will find information about the history and practice of typesetting. While the advent of the personal computer has put the tools for page composition within the reach of virtually everyone, we at Graphion feel that an appreciation of the roots and subtleties of type can only enhance the experience of both publisher and reader.”

“Web sites and software often compete with each other based on the features they provide. The popular assumption is that the more features a product has, the better it will be. The truth is that features improve a product only if they are actually used by the customer. In most cases the proliferation of features in products creates more complexity than value. Each feature gets an icon or a link on a Web site or toolbar, and is yet another item that the user needs to wade through before they can find the one that they need.” Um, hello?
