I love the book but never saw a parallel to our industry. Like you said, effective doesn't necessarily mean complicated, it means pared down to the simplest, successful form. I'm always most attracted to website that is designed well and gives me exactly what I'm looking for without any unnecessary distractions. As far as my personal projects go "going with the flow" in a creative design sense is always the goal, but not necessarily the outcome but I'm working on it. Great metaphor!

I think mobile is another area where designers have a little more leverage to push for simplicity. I wish more of that mobile philosophy would migrate to the bigger screen. :) I’m completely jealous of your meeting place.

Clean, useful and like he said, nothing flashy, mobile doesn't need it. Heck, after his presentation I am not sure I even WANT to look at the company site anymore.  ;) I am at a company meeting (as you saw on the twitter) and we had a vendor in today who has done a mobile site for us (as a part of his larger business platform) and it honestly has everything that WE NEED for our business on a 3 x 5 screen.
