Gruden: Garcia Questionable For Sunday’s Game (The Tampa Tribune)Gruden said Jeff Garcia sprained his ankle during yesterday’s loss against New Orleans and was unsure if his QB would be ready to play this week.

The UK arm of Digital Web (editor Frances Berriman and me) are at Brighton’s annual dConstruct conference today to hear some of the web’s leading thinkers talk about Designing The Social Web. Steven Johnson is up first, drawing parallels between modern information design and cholera epidemics (London’s “social network of dead people”, as he puts it).

Also in evidence is Clearleft’s Silverback gorilla , dispensing promotional bananas (yes, really) to the assembled geeks. If you’re at the conference, please come and say hi!

Digital Web goes to dConstruct

There have been a couple of great presentations either side of lunch here at dConstruct. Joshua Porter — social web expert and occasional Digital Web contributor — revealed the hidden mental tics (or “cognitive biases”) that designers should be aware of when thinking about how best to attract engage with their users; and Daniel Burka (Pownce, Digg) shared his recommendations on how to approach the key pain points when designing for social interaction.

Keep an eye out for the dConstruct podcasts of these talks; in the meantime, Daniel’s slides are on SlideShare — when I find Josh’s I’ll post the link here too.

Digital Web is very happy to bring you The Web Beyond the Desktop, courtesy of notable web designer, conference organizer and general all-around, web-friendly Dave Shea . The article is a variation on a talk given by Dave and John Allsopp this winter at Web Direction North ’08 . Dave questions whether we really understand the ways in which people use our websites, and gives some very clear suggestions of how to keep other interaction models in mind when designing.
