Though UX Zeitgeist is still very much in progress, it's never too soon to recognize the people involved in its development. Here's an incomplete list, in something of a chronological order:

• I came back from DUX 2005, high from sniffing UX fumes, and decided that this was a good idea.
• My old friend, Superpatron Ed Vielmetti was helped me think through the concept. Ed introduced me to Jose Nazario, an author and developer who has quite a lot of fantastic mashup work under his belt.
• Jose did much of the early development, and when life got too busy, helped me find Blake Nicholson, the site's primary developer, who has squeezed in some outstanding work in between his various duties as a doctoral student at the University of Michigan.
• Somewhere along the way, my pal Jess McMullin of nForm suggested the name "UX Zeitgeist".
• Carl Collins and Olga Khroustaleva, then masters students at the University of Michigan's School of Information, have been immensely helpful in thinking through the site's interface, metrics, and information visualization, and have held my hand when I really needed it.
• Peter Morville, Dirk Knemeyer, Rashmi Sinha, Michael Angeles, Liz Danzico and Victor Lombardi have been an ongoing source of support and inspiration, egging me on to just release the damned thing.
• Content providers, like Tim Spalding of LibraryThing and Dave Pell and Alex Wright of Rollyo have been incredibly generous with their support and patience.
• And of course, I'm very fortunate to work with CSS guru Dave Shea, who is responsible for the site's visual design.

Not sure how to even begin to thank all these folks.

Hmmm; guess I just did...
