SUMMARY:What Web App Design Can Learn From the Harpsichord
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Elaine  Wherry (Meebo). Baroque harpsichordists
  excelled at taking simple melodies and creating elaborate, beautiful pi
 eces of music. But in their desire to push the boundaries of experimenta
 tion, these keyboard virtuosi eventually ornamented the music beyond the
  limits of good taste, making the composer’s original melody unrecogniza
 ble. Something similar happens in web design.
