[Sigia-l] top user experience design agencies and gurus

[Patrick Neeman]

There's really no way to give an impartial answer to this (because friends are just going to recommend friends), and by asking the
question in this manner, the person asking for this is going to get a list of people that is self serving to those who made the list
in some manner, and going to miss a lot of very qualified people that just happen not to participate on the list.
