07/24/2004 11:24 PMAP - Amanda Cunningham started her daughter on computers at 2 1/2 with
"Reader Rabbit" software and Web sites like Sesame Street. Like any
parent, she was proud Madeline could master the mouse so young. But
Cunningham soon realized Madeline, now 4, wasn't really learning
anything. She just kept clicking, dragging and playing the same games
over and over. Now, she's in no rush to get her 1-year-old son, Liam,
on computers or the Internet.

Should Parents Be Liable For Their Kids
RIAA Misadventures?
Should Parents Be Liable For Their Kids
RIAA Misadventures?
08/03/2004 12:32 PMThere are times when parents are considered somewhat liable for
illegal actions by their kids, but in most cases, the kids themselves
take responsibility. So, why is that not the case in a situation
where the RIAA and music sharing is involved? In a story about a
husband and wife being charged for "downloading," the couple admits
that
it was
their two teenagers who did the downloading, but a lawyer is still
telling them to pay up the $3,000 the RIAA wants. There are all sorts
of problems with this. First, no one was sued for "downloading," but
for sharing unauthorized music (two very different things). However,
more importantly, the fact that this couple has
no clue how to
download music shows exactly the main weakness of the RIAA's case.
They're suing people without any evidence that the people they're
suing committed the crime. But, the way the system works, it's
cheaper to pay up than to fight the bogus claims.

"New research from Mobile Youth - a mobile telecoms consultancy -
found that 700,000 (20%) of primary school children own mobile phones
and that the under 10s "represent the fastest-growing segment of
mobile phone ownership within Britain".
'They are the key fashion accessory which no self respecting child
can do without,' says the report. It predicts that by 2006, more than
one million primary school kids (a third of all five-to-nine year
olds) will own mobiles." [The

Quick-'n-Dirty methods to determine
which competing label is better: "Cell
Phone" or "Mobile Phone"?
Quick-'n-Dirty methods to determine
which competing label is better: "Cell
Phone" or "Mobile Phone"?
04/28/2004 11:39 AMOn the SIGIA-L mailing list, Stephanie Berger recently asked: "My
cohorts are not sure whether to use "cell phone" or "mobile phone".
Any evidence that one is better than the other, or one is used more
often than the other?"
This is a good example of the kind of labeling questions
information architects face all the time. The answer to these labeling
questions will depend on the target audience (a better label for
whom?), on business requirements (maybe the business want to promote
one term over the other) and on the context in which the label will be
used.
I'll discuss the conversation that followed here and afterwards
point to some useful tools for if you have a labeling question
yourself.
Andres Sulleiro: "Without any empirical data I will go with
my own opinion. [...] A quick survey of the phone carriers seems to
suggest that "wireless" (as in "wireless phone", "wireless customer")
is most common among US carriers, though you see some references to
"mobile" as well. T-mobile, a European company, uses "mobile" which is
more common in Europe as well as being the name of the carrier."
Method: check what other websites call it.
Jason Cho: "I think "cell" is more widespread in the US as
Andrés noted. "Call my mobile" can sound pretentious to Yankee ears.
But I would think everyone understands the term "mobile" on a business
card."
Method: personal experience.
Peter Van Dijck (and others): "Google for "cell phone" (including quotes):
6,230,000, Google for "mobile phone": 6,360,000.
Looks like a tie, assuming your audience is similar. Just pick one and
make sure your search engine knows both terms."
Christina Wodtke: "Y
ahoo for cell phone : 16,800,000, yahoo for mobile phone: 21,200,000. What does
this really tell you? you'd have to know who each engine indexes, how
much of the web, etc.. better to use a magic 8 ball. ;-)"
Method: check popularity of the terms on the web.
Peter Van Dijck: "My next step would be to find out what
people search for on your site,
or if not available, on the web (assuming that's more or less your
audience). Google
adwords can help."
Method: Find out what people (preferably your target
audience) search for.
Dave: "I like "mobile" for the reason that Christina stated
(forward compatibility); USers and non-USers will equally understand
it. Also, it is more interoperable w/ most of the vCard based
addressbook programs out there. I don't know any that are using
"cell" or "cellphone" ... I also like the clear and easy two word
approach of "mobile phone" ... I'm always wanting to say "cellphone"
where "cell phone" is really the more correct version. "cell" though
just doesn't feel like a real word b/c the "cell" doesn't fit a
meaning to me. I know what it means if I am forced to think about it,
but it really doesn't mean anything to me at all."
Method: personal experience, check what software programs
use.
Christina Wodtke: "> As can Ove
rture's keyword tool (couldn't find URL straight away).
You also might consider some adaptation of the freelisting
technique on a subset of your target. E.G., a write in survey: what
portable electronics do you own, then analyze for use of "cell phone"
and mobile phone".
Method: freelisting technique.
Eric Reiss: "Having worked closely with several
telecommunications companies, including Tellabs (US), Nortel (Canada),
ADVA (Germany), and NetTest (Denmark), this discussion is one I've
heard before. Europeans generally don't recognize the term "cell
phone." North Americans seem to accept both "cell" and "mobile." ATT
insists on promoting the term "wireless." In most instances, we've
agreed on the word "mobile" since it is understood by the widest
audience. Nortel, for instance, used "cell" almost exclusively until
the late 90s, but now leans toward "mobile." I think there is a trend
here."
Method: ask the subject matter experts.
Pabini Gabriel-Petit: "There's also Wordtracker.
[...]
In this vein, you might try just walking up to people, holding up your
cell/mobile phone, and asking them what they call it."
Method: Analyze what people search for.
Method: Find out what labels your users use.
Quick-'n-Dirty methods to determine which competing label is
better.
So, as a review, here are some of the methods used to determine
which label is better.
1. What do you think?
Method: personal experience/insights.
2. What do your users think?
Method: freelisting
technique.
Method: Find out what labels your users use: show them the item
you're trying to label and ask them what it is. (You could build an
online tool for this).
Method: Find out what people (preferably your target audience)
search for / check popularity of the terms on the web. Ove
rture's keyword tool. Google
adwords. Wordtracker. Google and Yahoo both list how often a term is
used on the web (use quotes around your terms!).
3. What do the experts think?
Method: ask the subject matter experts.
Method: check what other websites/software call it.
Gotcha's: be careful when using these techniques. You are
looking for a label that works for your audience and your business
requirements. Most of these techniques use audiences that may be very
different from yours, and most are indicative only (ie: they're not
hard science). Use your judgement.
