@FemiOnDrums was at your party in Wembley last night.

I knew you lot can play. I knew you bring the energy. But that was a different level. A joyful noise unto the creator. Thank you 🙏

Please get on the blue sky app (where the bots & bigots aren’t). People want you over there.

I’ve never seen a mosh pit at a jazz gig before. A real mosh pit, but full of joy, not aggression.

Maybe I need to get out more.

Anyway, London Afrobeat jazz is not normal.

You CANNOT do good, effective, accessible web design without strong content design. Fact.

[Gethin Jones @Get_Jo]

I don’t think you have any idea how important and valuable content designers are.

[Gethin Jones @Get_Jo]

(This is not a suck-up to my friends who are content designers. It’s a plea to my friends who aren’t)

[Gethin Jones @Get_Jo]

Is gov design twitter gone?

If so, has it gone *somewhere*, or just gone?

[Gethin Jones @Get_Jo]

@f01re Severe user journey angst and an astonishingly painful shoulder - cause tbc. Apart from that, just the usual level of dilapidated.

I am, once again, begging a user researcher and a service designer to fix GP practices, and A&E

[Gethin Jones @Get_Jo]

As for the GP process to talk with the doctor…

[Gethin Jones @Get_Jo]

When you’re stretched is exactly when you need good service design.

@itsallgonewrong Oh yes, every bit of top-down mandatory agile bureaucracy is etched on my soul 😩🤣

@itsallgonewrong Maybe an exercise to poll interpretations of those words among the team / stakeholders / users to see what they’d expect from a portal / hub?

Cos I’d bet you a cup of tea, you will get many conflicting expectations

[Gethin Jones @Get_Jo]

@itsallgonewrong Reading the replies with interest!

Building on what others have said… Both terms mean different things to diff people / disciplines. So using them means you are starting from a position of misalignment. Don’t make it hard on yourself - use language that doesn’t carry baggage.

I made a quick proof of concept that generates pages using https://t.co/RPUQEV5Qlh Design System based on a prompt. You can ask it to make a specific form page, a start page, a page with a two-third one-third grid, and all sorts of other things. It was so easy 🫢

[Gethin Jones @Get_Jo]

@tomwm Probably not!

I’d love to hook up some UCD people I work with with the phenomenal hive mind and support network that UCD communities (used to?) provide.

A phenomenally powerful mechanism for improving public services. Sad if it’s not still happening.

[Gethin Jones @Get_Jo]

Are x-Gov UCD communities still a thing, and if so are they open in any way for employees of suppliers / delivery partners / consultancies working in Lilia services?

[Gethin Jones @Get_Jo]

*public* services

I have no idea what Lilia services are. Weird typo / autocorrupt
