Hi Peter

How are things over there in Amsterdam?

I wish you could have followed me from The Web and Beyond Conference to
Interaction Frontiers in Milano last June. At IF, Leandro Agro showed some
innovative technology that you would have found fascinating, because it's
very much along the lines of what you described in your earlier email
message.

He recently sent me these links to videos of interactions with his virtual
assistants:

We'll be publishing an article Leandro wrote about his work on UXmatters
soon. It discusses the technologies he used.

Regards, Pabini

Hi all,

Earlier this week I asked this list:
> For one of our clients, we're considering designing a site around the

> approaches and maybe technologies.

I received one reply with the suggestion to look at Synthetic Interviews
(thanks Jack!) but nothing else...

For a field that is "about making connections between people through [..]
products, not connecting to the product itself."[1] I thought this question
would generate some discussion.

If you cannot help me with the dialogue concept, could some of you please
tell me what you thought about my question? Do you consider it a bad idea to
implement a website as a dialogue? Or did you wish you thought of it first?
Do you think it will never work? Did Boo.com flash through your mind? Have
you tried it and failed?

Let me know...
