Hi
I’ve been a little quiet here the last few days as I was off visiting a different paradigm of tool set.
Virtual conference centres
One example is QUBE which is proprietary (& quirky!). Another is Virbella which provides a campus on which one can buy office suites and conference halls (starting at $100/mth for 10 people).
After a few days of playing my view is miro (or mural or deskle or conceptboard or awwap or twiddla…) are plug-ins to that host and not the primary ‘top’ piece of the connection chain.
There have been a lot of wish list posts here that would expand miro to be all things to all users - an impossible goal. A goal i’ve been instinctively uncomfortable with. Its upside down. Like expecting a spanner to drive nails and paint door frames.
Because of that ‘forced’ feeling I’ve had disquiet that things I want to do don’t work smoothly in miro. It makes for a UX that’s awkward in places. Now I’m imagining the drawing/ thinking tool as a point solution that fits inside the event not ‘being the event’ my concern that it is not adequate as a one-stop-shop solution is ebbing.
I’m a long way from a working paradigm. To get to a better understanding I’d like to try some prototype sessions. Its pretty much impossible to evaluate a collaboration tool as an individual.
So anyone up for some joint experimentation?
Isman I found your event later this week - even though it runs over my midnight I tried to book but its sold out!
