theodp writes "Not to be outdone by Amazon's 1-Click patent, Microsoft snagged a patent from the USPTO Tuesday for a Time based hardware button for application launch, which covers causing different actions to occur depending upon whether a button is pressed for a short period of time, a long period of time, or multiple times within a short period of time. So does pressing car radio buttons for different periods of time to change or set stations constitute patent infringement?" What about double-clicking? Seems like a fair amount of prior art. I know my caller ID box requires a "double-click" to delete phone numbers. Also, I may not remember correctly, but I was under the impression that Apple's famous "one-button" mouse allows you to fake a right mouse click if you hold down the button.

We're now pretty far along into the web-based world, and you would think that most people would recognize what a "link" is. However, it appears that a debate is still raging on as to whether or not web-based writing should include the specific call to "click here" when linking to some other webpage. While it's been a common practice in web advertising, trying to entice people to click on an ad, it probably doesn't make very much sense any more in standard web writing. People know what a link is. They know that they can click on it if they want to. Maybe some people just like ordering others around -- even online.

Give me a text based SQL schema any day. Click Maps on the other hand I could learn to like - they're nice and straight forward and solve the very real problem of planning how different parts of a web application will link to each other.

Click with Your Legislators!

Click with Your Legislators! 05/20/2004 05:22 PM

Barb Brattin, Reference Manager at the Warren Newport Public Library, came up with a great way to promote our statewide reference portal, Illinois Clicks!

"One of our top service responses at Warren Newport Public Library is information literacy, so offering a program on Illinois Clicks was a natural fit. As I was surfing through the site gathering examples of great links in every category, I thought of a little exercise to get some attention for Illinois Clicks via the program participants.

After a general overview of what Illinois Clicks is and how to navigate through the site, we visited two pre-selected links in each category. The last category we visited was Law and Government. By this time, the crowd was mesmerized by the amount and quality of information available through Illinois Clicks. So, opportunist that I am, I made good use of their enthusiasm by presenting each of them with an Illinois Clicks postcard (available through Fran, in case you haven't seen them). We then visited the Legislator Lookup link within the Law and Government site, and as they looked up their legislator's name and address, I asked them to use the postcard to tell their legislators what a fine project they have in Illinois Clicks and how they ought to continue funding the project. They were delighted to fill out the postcards and their messages were inspiring. I collected the postcards and sent them out this morning.

One of the participants then presented an idea which I think is particularly noteworthy. Why not place a link from every library's home page with messages of support for libraries already written out (like the Illinois Clicks postcard). Library supporters could simply send those messages on to their legislators electronically. People are very happy to express their support for the work we do to legislators. The link would make it easy.

Food for thought."

Food for thought for your own library, too!

Mail and click-through

Mail and click-through 06/05/2005 11:39 PM
Apple Mail. There’s more.

The new toolbar does the icons-inside-buttons thing, which makes sense, and may be a usability gain.

However, here’s a weird thing I noticed:

When Mail is not the frontmost app, the buttons change their look: they look dimmed, disabled.



However, if you click, it’s actually enabled, it supports click-through. (This is true for non-destructive buttons, not all of the buttons.) Right before you click you see the mouse-over highlighting.



It turns out that the icon inside the button is used to indicate whether it’s enabled or not. Standard toolbars dim and un-dim the icon too—it’s just that they don’t also have a button being used to indicate status (sorta).

So the dimmed button look means “I’m in the background” rather than “I’m disabled.”

Safari’s icons are similar in that the icon rather than the button indicates status—but they don’t have a special dimmed in-the-background look, which I think confuses things in Mail.

Offshoring... To Click On Ads

Offshoring... To Click On Ads 05/03/2004 04:44 PM
For all the talk of offshoring labor, it seems that many in India have answered "earn rupees clicking ads" advertisements found (ironically enough) on Google, which basically pay people to sit at home and clic k on advertisements on specific websites to help those sites earn more pay-per-click ad dollars. This, of course, is always the risk with any sort of pay-per-click advertising scheme. Those who stand to make money are always going to look for ways to increase the clicks. While it's easy to pick out automated clickers, having a network of people around the world who are paid to click the ads could be a lot trickier. Of course, this may remind some people of dot-com bubble companies like AllAdvantage - but at least in that (failed) case, advertisers knew what they were getting involved with. If such fraudulent clicks continue on content sites for advertising networks, it could noticeably decrease the value of such ads.
