ADMIN: RE: Call for action (was: ADMIN: OT - Wireless Job)

Manu's post brings up an important issues. I realized I was speaking in
tongue.

What is "moderation"?

1. It means that messages are held until I can review them. For a point of
record every first time poster has their messages "moderated"

2. I have told Ziya that he will be limited to no more than 3 postings per
thread per day ... On this list that could still be 1000 messages if done
right.

I'm sure like last time people will say thank you and be critical. I

I don't want a discussion on list moderation. Just writing in to
re-iterate what Dave said and what it means for this list.

Ziya has been taken off the list.

Experience design is hot in 2005

An exerpt from Forrester Research [1] report on customer experience trends
in 2005 [176 large North American companies surveyed]:

--------------
+ Only 24% of respondents have a single person responsible for
customer experience -- led by the services sector, where 36% of firms
assign this role to an exec.

+ For 34% of companies, increasing sales from existing customers is
their most important customer-facing objective for the year -- but not
in the utilities and telecom sectors, where 38% of respondents look to
cut costs.

+ Since companies expect customer interactions to increase, 64% of

1. People are responsible for reading the guidelines of this community
before they post. They are available at http://discuss.ixdg.org with other
helpful information about the list.

2. The steering committee members and the people they empower are the ones
who moderate this list.

Any photo-sharing apps out thereforarchitects-designers?

Sure, I see what you are saying, & it's a real trap, especially if the
existing app is a 'successful' one.

Any photo-sharing apps out there forarchitects-designers?

Ziya, I totally intend to take bold steps with this one; but it's good to
know what's out there so that when one is presenting to a group of critics &
one is told that the feature one was oh -so- proud of has been done better
by so-and-so :). One does not want surprises like that, does one?

Thea, do you mean you needed an app that would enable you to share image &
other media files with your group? I agree about having the site usable by
folks using slower connections.

Thanks Donna, the link you suggest seems very apt.

Any photo-sharing apps out there for architects-designers?

Hi All,

I am working on building this web-based application for my thesis project. Essentially it will enable architects & designers to do the following:

1.Upload work-related pictures to a central webspace .

2. Attach metadata to them such as time, project, group of people, location etc.
.
3. Annotate them using text as well as audio and doodles / drawing marks.

4. Search these pictures along various dimensions.

5. Share these with a designated group of colleagues.

I will be particularly exploring innovative ways of data visualization, as well as information display.
