Anyone who has an iPad should get the iTunes version because the iPad interactive books are far more fun than regular e-books could ever be.

In today's world, the amount of "tools" out there is overwhelming and we never do anything because we don't know where to start. Steve's book solves by providing a clear and straightforward guide. A must read for anyone who has been watching from the sidelines. -Patrick KellyPatrick Kellyhttp://www.habershamsc.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2007697545340496514.post-90680098004839579202012-09-11T04:09:38.448-07:002012-09-11T04:09:38.448-07:00I must say, useful information for users especaill...I must say, useful information for users especailly for website designers.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2007697545340496514.post-78449907556846454002012-07-09T20:05:24.861-07:002012-07-09T20:05:24.861-07:00Great article!

I think one of the problems that some organizations are faced with is a 'generational knowledge gap'. I think some people from older age groups don't fully understand the technology and as such can't appreciate how powerful of a tool it is.<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />RobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2007697545340496514.post-81853912815100587482011-01-31T07:58:11.989-08:002011-01-31T07:58:11.989-08:00Hear, hear.

An organization structure that breaks things down into digestible terms the public can understand? Mostly check. I do wish the layout of these UDM included more than the title of each page in large font, since most people don't read (they skim) it would be useful to see the most important element of the page stand out more. Eh, Design guidelines are tough to simplify because of their technical nature.

I thought that cities would want laypeople to be able to understand their plans and zoning codes without having to hire a translator. Of course, I was dead wrong. As best I can tell, they don't really care if anybody can get through the plannerspeak. They seem to favor unnecessary complexity and incomprehensibility. Then again, the planning profession has become a bit of a bureaucratic mess as far too many planners sell their souls and too few stand up for what's right. And our professional organizations crush independent thought or criticism of the naked planning emperor in his new clothes.Dan Lauberhttp://www.planningcommunications.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2007697545340496514.post-43431820614710554372010-12-15T17:20:34.886-08:002010-12-15T17:20:34.886-08:00Hi

Glad to see you found <A HREF="http://www.goto2040.org" REL="nofollow">www.goto2040.org</A> to be informative and engaging.<BR/><BR/>I agree that the web is subject to most rules of communications that apply to more-traditional media. At the same time, those traditional media are having to adapt to the interactivity that web viewers expect. In a sense, every website has to compete for attention with the best of what's out there -- with the New York Times, for example. We don't have anywhere near those resources, obviously, but hopefully CMAP's advantage is our compelling local content that people can't find anywhere else, with the chance for residents to shape the region's comprehensive plan through 2040 and beyond. We appreciate your helping to make people aware of that opportunity.<BR/><BR/>Tom Garritano<BR/><BR/>Communications Principal<BR/>Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP)<BR/>233 South Wacker Drive<BR/>Suite 800, Sears Tower<BR/>Chicago, IL 60606<BR/><BR/>312-386-8609 (voice)<BR/>312-386-8610 (fax)<BR/><BR/>tgarritano at cmap dot illinois dot gov<BR/>http://www.cmap.illinois.govAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975557516459802222noreply@blogger.com
