One of the newest members of the extended Cooper family has his own unique approach for consuming media.

• Susan held open office hours on how to conduct user feedback sessions with the team at Rock Health.
• Renna makes her way to the Mayo Clinic's Transform '11 to share progress on the Center for Disease Control's Healthy Aging 5over50 initiative.
• The counter-point of where good user experience ideas come from is quite compellling as we continue to consider the implications of the end of client services.
• The obsession for animated gifs shared by a small but growing number of Cooperistas continues: via Stefan, we have this week’s choice link of living, breathing cinematographs.

We celebrate the launch of Platfora, the first company to harness the power of Hadoop. Cooper is partnering with Platfora and we helped them launch a new website in just a few weeks. Congratulations to the Platfora team!
