What’s a Pioneer?
By Mike Moran. Filed in Internet Marketing |
I bet most of you don’t know who Keith Instone is. I had the privilege of working with Keith for several years at ibm.com, and I learned a good deal of what I know about information architecture from him. Keith’s recent blog post talked about how he was struggling to accept the idea that he is a pioneer in information architecture. Keith runs through a whole list of things he believes he should have done to be worthy of that “pioneer” label. But I think Keith (for once) misses the point. Being a pioneer is not about accomplishments—it’s about exploring, and Keith is most certainly an explorer at heart. I’m glad to see Keith get some of the recognition he deserves.
