MONKEYmedia

MONKEYmedia is an interface design firm that seems to take a holistic approach to designing interfaces. If you click on the "mentor" link, you will find interesting information about how to design interfaces. Topics addressed are:
> domains of design
> 5 styles of interaction
> device characteristics
> slicing the interface
> making content meaningful (has quicktime component)
> questions for designers (thinking about the people being designed for)

The backgrounds of the people working at this firm are interesting, ranging from degrees in interaction communication, psychology, linguistics, cognitive science, sociology, speech communications, dance, graphic arts. Seems pretty consistent with my interest in sociable media.
