Clay at The RSA… Yay!
A few of us went to see Clay Shirky last night at the Royal Society of Arts. Some stuff we heard him talk about before, and some new stuff. I had sprinted from Embankment tube to make the 6pm start time, and I couldn’t face using Twitter — and so I tried the visual notetaking methods we enjoyed so much from SxSW (and some inspiration from awesomeist Len Kendall). My first attempts are a bit sh*t by comparison but I found it to be a much more thoughtful way of interacting with a talk than making snarky comments on Twitter. Not that this will stop me in the future…

Awesome stuff Tim. I wish I could sketch as well as you do. A bit more practice and you can be one of the artists at one of next year’s SXSW keynotes!!

He must have read your blog…
“I hope someone like Clay Shirky uses this as an example of the power of social media in a talk in the near future. I’d love for them to!”

Damn! I’m so annoyed I missed this! And to think, I had a ticket as well… :( Nice styles Tim, I especially like the cruise missile analogy!

Fantastic. I love to do ‘draw notes’ whenever I can. A particular favourite occasion is when viewing user testing sessions and trying to convey the different reactions, be they the user’s or mine :)
