The problem for most print to web mags is that they input their print articles exactly as formatted for the print version. trouble is, this doesn't really add up to an engaging web experience. A number of my colleagues at the conference also pointed out that print headlines/titles tend to be more creative/clever and less clear than web headlines. My suggested strategy is this: print mags should edit print versions with an eye to web usability (use searchable terms in headlines) and ensure subheads and the tips above. Also, print readers are getting accustomed to the hassle free format of web writing (breaks up huge passages of text) with subheads, lists, images, sidebars.

Just the basics. I'd love to expand on this but I am also just getting the hang of google docs. The presentations I create for real conferences are a little more interesting :) I like what you said about inverted pyramid. As for clear take away points I guess I should add that - though the whole thing is just points :) I totally epically fail the Lessig method with these things but I'll get there someday (when I have 100 hours of free time to find enough images to tell the story!)

I just remembered one other thing about being "king." I think in light of the read/write web, Cory Doctorow said: "Conversation is king." Usability is indeed critical, regal even. I guess you can't have a conversation with a usable interface, so I vote to stick with your simile. ; ) For what it’s worth… I just remembered one other thing about being “king.” I think in light of the read/write web, Cory Doctorow said: “Conversation is king.” Usability is indeed critical, regal even.
