Users have increasingly short attention spans and capturing their interest – and keeping it, has never been more important. Communicating quickly and effectively helps you share ideas, explain how a product works and even improves day-to-day communication in life.

On April 2nd, Josh Constine, Writer for TechCrunch, will be joining us for a Q&A about how to write engaging, effective and entertaining copy for the Web. We'll hear about his background, his work at TechCrunch, and how what he has learned over his career can help you master an incredibly important facet of designing for the Web.
