| This brings up an interesting modeling question. Thus far, I've been thinking of the Appbar as an array of Information types. Scrapbook feels more like a Collection? A type of grouping of items. So different things you might have in the Sidebar: Manila Project folders Scrapbooks FBI-style profile on a person or organization The Scrapbook could then have any kind of item in it: Music, Photos, Movie clips, News articles, Correspondence, etc... I think there is a sort of first-class distinction between Media and Resource. Resources are items you handle a lot, more often than not, they are items you created or someone close to you created (ie. co-worker). They're things like proposals, presentations, spreadsheets, etc...Media is more just "publicly" available information that you keep around. Like coffee table books or magazines. So a photographer might put Photos into their Resources Area and Journalist might put their Magazine articles in their Resources, while for most people who don't create publicly consumed things, Photos and Articles would most likely end up in their Media pile....Unless for example, someone decided that a Photo or Article was especially pertinent to their work and they Stamped it as a Resource as well. I concede, this is a subtle concept to communicate, so it will be something that will require several rounds of design to bring out clearly in the UI.
