One approach to editing profile details (title, status, address, mission statement, etc.), is to edit them in place, AJAX-style. An alternative approach is to use a specialized page, tab or pop-up, with some variation of a "submit" action. I am designing an interface for a project in a corporate environment, and I find that as the data gets more complex, it's not easy to choose the correct approach, or to mix and match. When i look for examples from teams I follow (Facebook and LinkedIn come to mind) it seems to me they have similar headaches.
I am looking for an example of a very slick "web 2.0" solution in a mainstream platform with moderately complex data (managing lists of items, not just name-and-address-and-photo). I am also wondering what can these days be assumed about the familiarity of the general public with Facebook and LinkedIn (for example). Would you require editing on-place in the way Facebook does, if you were designing for different age groups? Your thoughts? ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
