Comment on My Contacts or Your Contacts by Dave Brondsema

I think text like “My Contacts” is frequently a label, short for “View My Contacts”. Clicking on it is an action, and it makes sense for the action label to match the voice of the actor, thus first-person. Messages coming *from* the software should be third-person then, so the voice matches the actor. It’s a conversation back and forth with the software Of course, then you have to distinguish when the software is talking to you, and when it’s presenting labels/actions for you to execute.

Looks very interesting… is there an interactive version we can take a look at?
I am sure you have seen this – but take a look at the tool on http://www.muckety.com... this allows the kind of HC interaction that might be cool too!
