This is the blog of London-based Digital Design Consultant, Simon I’Anson.
I am interested in the people who instigate and participate in conversations on the web; often talking about businesses and products. I help businesses understand where these conversations about them are taking place and how they can listen in.
Sometimes these businesses want to join in or even start their own conversation, be it on the web or in private.
From blogging and tweeting to understanding all aspects of the wider social web — I apply design thinking to solve these problems in elegant ways.
I have over a decade of experience in defining and designing online strategies for all sorts of businesses ranging from SMEs to start-ups to large multi-nationals.
Other than this blog you can keep up with me at these conversation hot spots around the web…

Dear Simon,
The Internet has transformed how we communicate with the public, but there are still many challenges in making information easy to find. Since you cover information design in Type Cast, I thought you might be interested in a study that my nonprofit published this summer about how people find information online. The study covers three groups: non-profit organizations and cities; web designers and firms; and the general public.
The study was fascinating on a number of levels, and I invite you to read the executive summary or download a PDF of the findings at http://www.idea.org/find-information.html .
The survey results sparked ideas about tools we could provide that might make finding information online easier. This fall, we will start beta testing a cool new new navigational tool. I don’t have your email, so if you are interested, you can sign up for our beta here: http://www.spicynodes.org/ or to stay abreast of our (very) occasional new projects, you can get our newsletter here: http://www.idea.org/newsletter.html
Thanks,
Michael
