Cinéma Former MySpace execs launch Gravity to personalize the Web A team of former MySpace executives is launching a new company on-stage at the Web 2.0 Summit today in San Francisco. Chief executive Amit Kapur said he left MySpace, the troubled News Corp. Internet portal, because his new company Gravity presents an even bigger opportunity: Basically, it uses your interests to help you find relevant content. That sounds similar to promises I’ve heard from many other companies, for example the content-sharing service Twine (which was acquired by Evri) and personalized news-reader MeeHive (which was shut down by parent company Kosmix). But Kapur said previous attempts have just “nibbled at the edges” of the bigger problem. Gravity is part of the latest wave of companies trying to manage the ever-growing flood of content on the Web, he said. Specifically, Gravity has built out a language model (it currently contains 100 million phrases, Kapur said) showing how different interests fit together.

Many of the speakers have shared their workshop material with us, so take a look below for some valuable UX nuggets. UX Lx was a jam–packed three day event in Lisbon featuring many of the leaders in our field. Day 1 Luke Wroblewski: Influencing Strategy by Design This was a great seminar to kick off a UX conference. For the interactive part of the workshop, Luke engaged us in an exercise called Slide Madness (also called Battle Decks or PowerPoint Karaoke). Luke generously posted all of his workshop material, including a great exercise for Influencing Strategy by Design and a section entitled Further Reading with talks from other industry leaders. Séamus Byrne: What’s the Story? Of course I had to catch this session, since I rely almost entirely on stories for teasing out requirements, designing interactions and IA, and building prototypes.
