With thanks to everyone who attended #WhyIWrite, the response has been fantastic!
Is anyone going to notice we have a twitter feed on the central screen? #WhyIWrite
Does anyone know who is tweeting from this channel? #WhyIWrite
RT @Zerofee Rick Poyner 'we can't leave aside the political. I'm not clear why the course thinks people should be writing' #whyiwrite
"With two new design writing courses happening, I pose the question what is the actual purpose of design writing now?" asks Rick #WhyIWrite
Rick Poynor gets asked 'why do you write??' #WhyIWrite
"We need ways of navigating the mass amount of information and writing out there" says Peter Hall #WhyIWrite
Peter Hall asks; "What happens when you do not have an editor?" #WhyIWrite
Comment from audience - surely we have to listen to the democratisation of blogs? #WhyIWrite
RT @Zerofee Denise- 'the process of editing will change because of blog medium. I don't see much that is talented or has depth' #WhyIWrite
Denise responds about the emancipation of the blog #WhyIWrite
'Marcus' from the audience asks about new technologies and their role to play in design writing. #WhyIWrite
"The celebrity thing is just boring, you have to judge people on the quality of their ideas" Vicky comments on the celeb designer #WhyIWrite
Jeremy Myerson asks audience for questions... but, remember... "less is more in writing, just as it is in design" #WhyIWrite
