Indeed. And armed with the updated "best practices" for the starting
designs, you repeat the process with new (or perhaps the same goals), but

In fact Chaitrali, you are using one of the powerful Web 2.0

In fact the sense of response which I do like most is Mac OS X's
progress bar. What's nice about it is even if the whole program
crashes and the progress is not increasing, the colored ripples and
waves in the progressing bar looks so nice and give the real
illusion of something happening.

I'll take a chance that the following thought hasn't already been expressed
on these threads.
A lot of work has been done in somewhat-numerical realms to avoid getting
stuck in local maxima.
For example, you could throw a whole bunch of trial balloons into a room

Except that it may tell you no such thing. All it tells you is that the

reality behind the scenes.

I've started working on some SMS apps (which sets interaction design back

A few additional thoughts.
It is an *intelligent* design evolution: the initial design and the

Communicating system status is a pretty basic design principle, and
it's highly valuable.

Yes, that is what I was getting at with my post, the idea of

As long as its animated, even a "fudged" progress bar tells me that my

Now I get it (either light bulbs just went off, or I'm seeing flashbacks of
