Re: [IxDA Discuss] What is a mobile phone called in your country?
In Israel it's called "Pelefon" which translates to "wonder phone". I've always loved that :) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] When to use icons and when to use text
In my experience the best approach is to default to labels but provide users with the option to display as icons or text (see most web browser preferences for instance). With that said, context is everything and depending on the application any number of icons can be considered intuitive (save, open, favorite, reload, delete, forward/back, search, etc.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[IxDA Discuss] Online Message Center Examples
Hi all - I'm looking for any resources, examples, literature, articles etc. around the idea of an online message center. eTrade and Wells Fargo (I'm sure others) use message centers in place of direct email communication. This is a very powerful security tool - all messages are posted in a central, secure area of their websites and an email such as "you have a new message in your inbox" is sent in place of the message itself. I tried some Google searches but I'm not even sure what to call this.. Thanks for the help! Shimone Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!

Re: [IxDA Discuss] What do you think about design of this Mac OS X app?
Beautifully designed app. Please see my feedback below. Scanning - would love to see more feedback such as time remaining (% or otherwise) or possibly directories currently being scanned. Results - would like clickable results/directories. Results - smaller files & folders list is not clickable and disappears when moving mouse off the graphic Navigation buttons (back/forward) - I thought they would navigate the directory tree (back button at least) but found it navigating my history (actions) That's all for now.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] online calender
Have you considered Google Calendar? A good example of this kind of implementation is seen on SomeWhat Frank: http://www.somewhatfrank.com/web-tech-conferences.html Using public APIs would allow customers wide access to the data through a variety of services and devices. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] When Input is Output is Input
Hi Phillip - have you considered Request/Response ? Input/Ouput can easily be mistaken for one another depending on the context in which they are used. For instance, is this response my output or am I offering my input? Were you requesting our input or looking for our output? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
