We know, it seems like SXSW just ended not that long ago, but it’s already time to start thinking about what you want to see at the festival next year! Head over to the Panel Picker to make your voice heard before midnight CDT on Friday, August 27th. Here are some of the content-related panels by our colleagues here at Razorfish. Even if you aren’t sure if you’ll be going to SXSW next year, please consider voting for these panels (registration is free and easy):

  • Interactive Narratives: Creating the Future of Literature (Andrew Lewellen) – Looks at creating new forms of literature using New Media technologies like Augmented Reality, Transmedia Storytelling, and Interactive Stories.
  • Imagining a Nimble World: Challenging the Publishing Industry (Rachel Lovinger) – A presentation based on the Nimble Report, about traditional content publishers moving into the digital age.
  • Fireside Chat with Old Media: Pipe, Slippers Optional. (Eric Moore) – A cozy fireside chat with three executives from major ‘old media’ brands to discuss what they are doing to transform their businesses in a meaningful way.
  • OMG – My Pancreas Just Texted (John Pettengill) – At the intersection of user-managed health and technology lies an opportunity. A mobile solution that enables users with a chronic condition, accustomed to managing it alone, to track their health socially and to access the learnings of the larger community.
  • Engaged Storytelling: Considering Interactive Narrative (Tim Sheridan) – Interactive media has opened new ways of experiencing a narrative, making stories more collaborative, open-ended and user-driven. This panel will seek to create a dialogue about what makes a great interactive narrative and what potential the medium has for the future.
  • 6-pack Intranet Abs In Just 6 Weeks! (Amy Todenhagen) – An intranet is a destination, a workplace of the future where employees not only find information but connect, communicate and actually get things done. A panel of seasoned intranet experts will discuss strategies, tactics and methodologies for transforming static repositories of information into resources that anticipate users’ needs and lead them effortlessly toward task completion.

Also, as long as you’re voting, here are some of the other content-related panels we’d be interested to see (and I’m sure there are many other amazing proposals we haven’t stumbled across yet):

Plus, our colleagues at Razorfish have proposed many other interesting panels on mobile, social, media, branding, design & technology – too many to list, but check them out and vote for them, too!

What is this site, exactly?

Scatter/Gather is a blog about the intersection of content strategy, pop culture and human behavior. Contributors are all practicing Content Strategists at the offices of Razorfish, an international digital design agency.


This blog reflects the views of the individual contributors and not necessarily the views of Razorfish.

What is content strategy?

Oooh, the elevator pitch. Here we go: There is content on the web. You love it. Or you do not love it. Either way, it is out there, and it is growing. Content strategy encompasses the discovery, ideation, implementation and maintenance of all types of digital content—links, tags, metadata, video, whatever. Ultimately, we work closely with information architects and creative types to craft delicious, usable web experiences for our clients.

Why "scatter/gather"?

It’s an iterative data clustering operation that’s designed to enable rich browsing capabilities. “Data clustering” seems rather awesome and relevant to our quest, plus we thought the phrase just sounded really cool.
