Hi GK,
You suggested looking at http://tinyurl.com/ybneseb
Do you know a way to know in advance whether a tinyurl link is safe, where
it goes to, or whether it points to a site that presents security issues
e.g. has a drive-by Trojan or similar?
They seem to present a security issue.

Subject: Re: Web Design workflow research
Terence & All: Doing a little catching up this sunny cold Saturday afternoon
in New York so thought you might find this useful:
In case you missed it: Recently posted to the Harvard Business Review blog:
-Why Design Thinking Won't Save You- by Peter Merholz is a great example of
the political market forces acting on your question regarding what you
describe as -Web Design workflow- and your broader inquiry regarding who
typically gets to do what and why in the UX industry. In pursuit of such
questions its often useful to have at least an inkling of the kind of turf
($) war that has not by accident been under way in the UX industry and the
broader design marketplace for numerous years.

Still pitching stereotypes from the 1990s Merholz goes about his work
typically with zero response from the design education community or the
academically intertwined design journals. That sleepy state, that
significant missing in action orientation is well known in the marketplace.
Across ten plus years that absence occurred and continues to occur not
without significant cost to design school graduates.
Seeing both sides of it in action for years it is useful to have a sense of
humor not only about the now transparent undermining pitching strategy but
also about the equally transparent response vacuum. What gets really
hilarious is when you see those pitching the stereotypes headlining design
conferences!
Oh my, what a fucked up industry!
Have a good weekend all.
