The Beginning

One day, @designsojourn tweeted, “@claudia10 when is the next big blogger event?” and it hit me! It’s been too long since we had one event for bloggers by bloggers! As spontaneous as the tweet, I thought, we should just have one!

- @claudia10

The Format

20×10 = 20slides in 10minutes. This adapted from Pecha Kucha. 

Speakers

“Sorry, The Next Big Thing Is Not You” – In 2006, TIME Magazine declared that their “Person Of The Year” is you – the millions of anonymous users and contributors of user-generated content to sites like Facebook, MySpace, Second Life and many others. At the onset of 2011, does this still hold true?

UX 101: Ways to a Better Next Big Bang (Whatever It May Be)
What is user experience and how you can start improving it.

Brian Ling

"From Blog to Business: Design Sojourn Pte Ltd" - Brian will be sharing how he turned his blog to business. ~ A good session for many of us and entrepreneurs-to-be.

Jon Yongfook

Jon will share about Littlecosm, a massively multiplayer twitter client.  It blends sentiment analysis with cute 8-bit style retro graphics into a game you can play through your browser or phone, with friends or by yourself. Your in-game character type is determined by how you tweet from day-to-day. If you're a positive person, your game character will turn out to be noble and righteous, with abilities to match.  If you're a negative person (complaining on twitter about your job, your life etc etc!) your character will become somewhat darker.
