yes it is. BUT there are alot of options with such a presence system.

Sounds like an interesting concept-- are you envisioning this as an IxDA

if https is used (or any encryption).
one has to be user friendly... but not enemy friendly (easy to
crack paswords by guessing... dictionary attack).

it is all about the branding
I concur.
simplicity is an ideal in design.
as is transparency (honesty) and consistency (not break too much
rules just because)

Combination of 2 buttons, like shift one letter, do increase the
hassle. In the term of action, no matter digit or letter, any button
equates each other cuz the action required are all to click once. But
regards to memory, combination of letter and digit certainly adds to
the load.

I've been curious, since the release of Office 2008, whether the
absence of the ribbon is due to a reconsideration of its value,
or simply the result of a different group within Microsoft having

Regardless, I'm not sure what the Mac Business Unit at MS might have

Hi Aaron,
I can only speak to the CMU interaction design program, but when I
applied six years ago they required a portfolio that consisted of a
sheet of slides documenting previous design work.
Slides are static and don't communicate much more than visual
qualities, so my take is that in the
bingo.
any presence system has two faces: one faces the user, the other his/
her audience. User issues relate to presence availability,
particularly what to reveal. Because any presence system by its nature
solicits or invites communication -- and not all users who like to
share their
I like the fact that Microsoft dared to change the interface so
rigorously. The old interface with menus and toolbars wasn't perfect
either.
I guess that the ribbon is helping new and even intermediate users.
But as a expert user I'm missing the fast overview a classic menu
offers. I think the
