On Monday night, a few members of the Taptu squad attended MoMo London where Steve presented, talking about user interface design and the process through which we develop it. Some of you have asked for a copy of the slides we used, so here they are. (Tip: Set the presentation to fullscreen if any of it goes a bit fuzzy)

Next Monday, we’ll be taking part in Mobile Monday London, sponsoring the evening on the theme of Mobile User Interface.

• Bryan Rieger - Future Platforms Creative director www.futureplatforms.com
• Scott Weiss - Executive Director, EMEA, Human Factors International www.humanfactors.com
• Marek Pawlowski - MEX www.pmn.co.uk/mex/
• Dan Appelquist will be summing up and reviewing the Over the Air developers conference
• And our very own Steve Ives, Taptu CEO!

At the moment, the event is fully booked, but pleading or bribing the organisers with shiny gadgets might just get you in. Meanwhile, if you’re already on the list, we’ll see you there!

Last week, Ernst-Jan Pfauth, editor in chief at The Next Web, interviewed Steve, our CEO, asking some very interesting questions about the mobile social search, wondering whether we were bonkers for seemingly going against Google, the giant of search.

After interviewing Ives and trying out the service myself, I can say that Taptu has found Google’s Achilles heel. Mobile social search is one of those ideas that seem obvious after somebody explained to you - just like Paul Arden’s books. The service is still in early beta, yet when Ives tells about his ambitious plan, I truly believe he can achieve them.

Since launching the new features a few weeks ago, many new users have echoed Ernst-Jan’s thoughts, and it’s truly great to hear it. Without you, our users, we’d just be this mad David against the Goliaths of Search. But with you, we can be mad and daring together. So thank you!
