are tricksters a problem?

I just wrapped up a project with a client extremely concerned about tricksters (different from hackers). The site we created allows users to sign up for special offers to be sent via cell phone. The client repeatedly brought up the worry that a trickster would enroll other people in the program, thereby “harassing” them with a text message that prompts a double opt in.

[JOB] 6-Month Contract IA - Cincinnati, OH {RECRUITER]

The IA is responsible for the overall user experience design and implementation of a project by coordinating regularly with teammates and the client users to ensure the product remains true to the user experience design throughout the product development life cycle. IAs must have an extensive understanding of innovative graphical user interface design, information design, interaction design, and in particular, the design of complex frameworks for dynamic, database-driven content and functionality.

IxDA Conference ??? (was Re: 2006 conferences)

Speaking of conferences ...

One of my many duties in IxDA is that I'm the chair of the Local Groups &
Programming Committee. In that role I'm always thinking of great events to
produce, not just for local interest but for global interest. E.g. The IxD
Symposium at the IA Summit (http://ixda.org/en/iasummit06).

I thought since everyone is talkin' about conferences and doing comparisons
and such, I'd just be interested in knowing what you want from a conference.
Be as generic or specific as you like.

IxD Symposium @ the IA Summit Next Month in Vancouver

Tomorrow is the end of early registration for the IA Summit next month in
Vancouver, but quite honestly the difference in price between early and late
registration is quite unremarkable.

For example, the IxD Symposium (organized by IxDA) is goes from $500 to $575
for a full day workshop with the likes of Kim Goodwin (Cooper) and Luke
Wroblewski (Yahoo & Functioning Form).

We are incredibly excited about putting together this very practical
day-long workshop that help contextualize the importance of IxD to the IA
practice.

Multi-Touch Interaction Research

"While touch sensing is commonplace for single points of contact,
multi-touch sensing enables a user to interact with a system with
more than one finger at a time, as in chording and bi-manual
operations. Such sensing devices are inherently also able to
accommodate multiple users simultaneously, which is especially useful
for larger interaction scenarios such as interactive walls and
tabletops."

User Acceptance Tests (UAT) as inroads for User Experience

Has anyone been able to get usability engineering into a software
development process by becoming involved in the User Acceptance Testing?

Many applications are developed in my company, which is a large
financial corporation. During our software development process there is
no requirement for user experience or usability involvement. (There is
little chance right now of adding more requirements to the development
process, such as heuristic evaluations or usability testing; our
developers will accept no more requirements.
