Here, we expand and codify our observations and experience independent of clientdriven situations. Our position as consultants gives us an exceptionally broad view of the Web and interface design issues + culture.

My main worry, in this context, is not just that our feelings, however strong, are at the mercy of the "ephemeral quality of digital communications and ruminations," but that we seem to have come to feel that posting to a blog or forwarding e-mails is enough. My impression is that the energy that used to go into causes is now going into the keyboard, and thence? Does it all go the way of Gertrude Stein's comment about Oakland? Digital technology is not necessarily the problem so much as our slow adaption to the new rules of communication. LS Thanks for your elucidations of my thoughts.
