The rich web apps are bringing in more & more interesting patterns in the interaction model. Visual interaction is really emerging as a powerful way people respond, manipulate and intermediate… Think about it…it is like a non-verbal communication, more visceral, more emotional and definitely more intuitive.
The Symbaloo web application. It aims to create a visual bookmark or icon wall. Sounds similar to a desktop metaphor with various shortcuts to utilities.
A visual campaigning on Facebook with multiple copies of a photo from Israel-palestine conflict. The users tag their friends on the photos as many times as possible to spread the awareness.

They are a zillion times more civilized and humane than those Arabs surrounding them. The photos point to some extraordinary circumstances that happen during events commonly known as “WAR”!! The Arab world still is home to unspeakable cruelties that the world won’t talk about. Darfur,Saudi Arabia anyone?

Comment on May 14, 2009 04:03 pmThank you Unni for making your point. Though obviously the discussion deserves a different forum. I just happen to find an example there. And remember people always innovate when they are completely immersed into an emotional experience. And at the risk of sounding politically incorrect I will say there are a very few experiences as emotional as a War….
