Matt Jones (Dopplr) – “Battle for the Planet of the Apes: A Perspective on Social Software and Social Networks”
Matt Jones is one of the founders/lead designer of Dopplr and former creative director for the award-winning BBC News Online and Sapient’s London studio in the first boom. From 2003, he joined Nokia in design research, then as a Director of UX Design.
In his talk he cites examples from the development of Dopplr and other services, as he discussed recent trends in social software, object-centered sociality, the beginnings of social infrastructure (opensocial, xfn, hcard, openID), personal informatics, and approaches for baking social ettiquette into the design.
