I really enjoyed this session and look forward to seeing the slides on Slideshare, I think a lot of folks I know should pay attention to some of the ideas. The first half was particularly useful to me - the fundamentals of getting usability right and what needs to be observed. The second half was also pretty interesting... although there are some potential tensions between the UCD approach of fixing the user experience up front, and the Web 2.0 approach of release early, release often. Thanks Leisa!

Great presentation Leisa. More confirmation rather than revelation for me, but speaking to people afterwards they seemed to get the most out of your presentations. Congratulations on not mentioning web 2.0 throughout.
