Announcements

Best of Innovative Interactivity, September 2009 (Contest time!)

I am happy to announce that II recently turned two. I celebrated the completion of the first year by moving II to WordPress. I decided for the second year that we shall celebrate by giving something away! One copy of Steve Krug’s exceptional book “Don’t Make me Think” is up for grabs. In order to be eligible, all you have to do is tell me your favorite II post in the comment section (and you will make me even happier if you tell me why …). Deadline is Monday at 9am, October 5th when I will then randomly select a winner from the list.

The II community continues to grow and I absolutely love interacting with all of you. September brought us more than 5,000 site visits (with pageviews topping 10,000), and while RSS analytics are being finicky, some days it reports nearly 500 RSS subscribers. II also has more than 50 people subscribed by email.

While I am happy with the numbers, let’s work to double those stats within the next year. If you like what you see on II, please continue helping me by spreading the word!

Thanks to everyone for providing a wealth of inspirational projects for me to cover. September was, by far, the best month in terms of multimedia projects and rich content on the web. Check out the top posts and you will see what I am talking about …

Top Five Posts from September:
1) “How to build a portfolio website” series a must read
2) Waterlife interactive website an inspiration for all
3) Multimedia Must-See: “Ian Fisher – American Soldier”
4) Honytonk and 31Septembre introduce interactive documentary
5) Globe and Mail leaves me speechless with “Behind the Veil”

Skim through the rest of the September archive to see what else you may have missed.

If you would like to advertise on II, please read about the specs and contact me for more information.

I look forward to hearing everyone’s favorite post (there are 232 choices so you have a lot to choose from!). And, if you already have the book, I would still encourage you to join in on the conversation so I can “meet” more of my readers. If I know what you like, I can better cater towards your needs so please don’t be shy!

  3. Ohio State University Launches Soul of Athens 2009. I loved this post because this was the first time I was introduced to this project. I also liked the idea that students from multiple disciplines come together to achieve a common goal each year. This site has been a great resource for an emerging form of media that will become the mainstay in the very near future. Thanks for the informative posts and congratulations on going two years strong.

    I loved it because it was on-point, to-the-point, and link-heavy.

  5. I think it’s obvious which post is my favorite, but if I chose another, it would be “Ten free tools to manage your personal brand online.” Lots of great online tools in one place to get a pulse on how people are sharing and talking about you on the Web.

    I already own “Don’t Make Me Think,” so you don’t have to enter me. :)

  7. missed the deadline feeding the newborn, but that’s ok. I wanted to tell you I just came across your website recently, and of the myriad of websites out there, I really like the content and look and spirit of yours.

    My favorite post was your bringing attention to the ESPN wrestler video which I had never seen. I thought it was amazing, and very inspirational, from a human standpoint, and to strive for that type of work as well.

    I find the web is a great medium for 5-15 minute pieces without commercials …

    thanks for all the great work, and all the best in year II.
