Re: [IxDA Discuss] Tools for animating the user experience
Hello. Long time ago I used to do presentations with Macromedia Director animating the pointer to show how the actions on a movie. Sometimes, when talking about ATM with touch screens, we even changed the pointer with a chrome-keyed hand. Later we did similar things with Flash and recently we've tried to wireframe with Axure and RoboDemo (now Adobe Captative). Results were great and customers were very happy with the show, but was not something to replace final wireframes because it was only a visual show, not a strong conceptual document.

Hello Luis, Have you considered using a blog tool like WordPress or MovableType? It could be an interesting option depending on the kind of dictionary and the collaborative features you need.

Hi Luis, Wiktionary (as well as Wikipedia all related sites) is based on MediaWiki (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki).

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Ajax product configurator examples
Hi Michael, Last year we did this on-line shop with Ajax for a Dutch company: http://www.zonneman.com/ (For non Dutch users, link on this: http://www.zonneman.com/#besteljaloezie) Ferran Alvarez http://www.bryte.biz -Mensaje original- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] En nombre de Michael Micheletti Enviado el: sábado, 19 de enero de 2008 6:21 Para: IxDA Discuss Asunto: [IxDA Discuss] Ajax product configurator examples I'm helping a friend who has a small business (total employees: 1, total budget: $0 or maybe less) brainstorm ideas for a custom product configurator for his website. Similar sites might allow you to see the clothes on a model and change shirt colors, add various designs to a t-shirt, or customize your new Mercedes colors, wheels, etc. He's curious to find out if this sort of product configuration can be done well using Ajax/Web 2.0 technologies. He'd like to avoid Flash if possible. I've found these two examples so far: Levolor store beta (pick a product and configure wall and window colors, etc): http://www.levolor.com/store/ This was pretty fun to play with. Zazzle t-shirt designs: http://www.zazzle.com/cr/design/pt-shirt?style=basic_dark_tshirtcolor=black Not quite as direct and interactive. Can you guys think of other similar examples? Even better, do you know of any existing free or affordable code libraries that do something like this?

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Cultural variations in how consumers interact withhealthcare websites
Hello from Spain. The same happens here, the user sequence is something like this: a) go and have a quick the official product 'website' b) search at google to see what other users are talking about athe product c) contact the manufacturer through a website form This is what I could experience from two projects for chemical and healthcare-related companies, six and two years ago.

For example, in the US consumers often question the trustworthiness of a manufacturer's website about its own products, but may place a lot of trust in an open forum of other patients and consumers who are not doctors and are not required to validate their opinions and observations. Is this true in other parts of the world? The countries I am specifically targeting are: Korea Japan Germany Spain Italy France If anyone has or knows of any published research, that would be fantastic. Even anecdotal observations from the global IxDA community are welcome. Thanks in advance for your input.
