Feed Description: A simple waste of time and weblog experiment
Yahoo! Developer Stuff Advertainment. "Tribal Platform" idea. Is
interesting, and probably a good approach. They are trying hard at
community development and the tribe metaphor. "Design tribe" and
"Development tribe" and how you design interaction in this.
Heh, I'll call it "working class interface" as it sure as heck isn't
rich, but it is a siginficant step up from stateles web interaction.
Back to Yahoo! guy. "Interactive patterns of attention." Immediacy
-- autocomplete, livesearch, etc. He is trying to name patterns of
interaction and create shared concept. Pattern as basis for shared
concept and definition. [me] Pattern is popular term for definition
of abstract idea[/me]. "If done correctly [ajax stuff] can be really
annoying, eh, if done incorrectly."
"get rid of boundaries" infinite scrolling, search without paging
from the live demo earlier, etc. 'Light footprint' -- ointeraction as
subset of total interaction.
[me] be nice to finally get rid of the wizard and replace with an
unstructured in time interaction coordinated visually instead of
temporally.[/me]
Transitions to indicate relationships between elements ans symmetry
of action (if it flows one way it can flow the other way). He
mentioned microformats. Why micro? Sheesh, the word "schema" is too
overloaded maybe? Ugh, the fight for names and the ego of creating
the name.
Back to talking about creating a common vocabulary and patterns as a
basis for common vocabulary (which is correct). Ugh, dislike this
soundbite "surfacing a vocabulary." They have some smart DHTML
hackers. Ah, cool the Yahoo UI stuff is BSD license. Kept meaning to
look up what it was.
