Web Design Survey 2007 - A List Apart

Open until May 22, 2007
(you can win prizes too ;) )

For those of you who haven't seen this, you've got to go do it! A List Apart is doing their first annual web design survey. Here's a little excerpt for who it's for and why... (and GO DO IT for all of us!) Over 12,000 people filled out the survey during its first 24 hours online.

"Designers, developers, project managers. Writers and editors. Information architects and usability specialists. People who make websites have been at it for more than a dozen years, yet almost nothing is known, statistically, about our profession. Who are we? Where do we live? What are our titles, our skills, our educational backgrounds? Where and with whom do we work? What do we earn? What do we value?

It’s time we learned the answers to these and other questions about web design. And nobody is better qualified than the readers of A List Apart to provide the answers."

I work a lot...

Seriously I could post a little more often than I do. Well... At work we've come up slightly for air. (Ya, I'll blame my lack of blog postings on that!) Our team recently had a press release for our product - the Monster Career Ad Network. YAY us! A long time coming! Dee did a really great job getting the word out and apparently everyone in our world is buzzing a little over it. This is my favorite article on it. She does an awesome job of explaining it.

I must say that the team I work with is just a really great and talented group of people and I am extremely happy to have had the opportunity to do this with them. Of course I am also really amazed since I remember when this idea was three boxes and two arrows on a white board in Labs. 2 years in the making, selling the idea, about a million mockups, 7 million meetings ;), people coming and going, an entire team built, random "you did what!?!'s", watching the stats like a hawk, LOTS of laughter, no shoes, crappy xslt's, YAGNI! and the bajillion agile iterations... Wow that parking lot is HUGE!

I think we've done a pretty doggone good job! I don't think we ever had a single problem! Hahahahaha. All I have to say is YAY and thanks to Dee, Chris, George, Sam, Gil, Tammy and everyone who helped us out along the way.
Time for a nice glass of wine and vacation!?! Chris when are you booking one for us?
