click a picture of your friend and then contact them in any possible way using any enlisted app from there
Absolutely not! Not to scream and shout, but absolutely NOT!
I have contacts who are both friends and coworkers or business partners or customers. I do NOT want to get in touch with them with "any app at all", I want the app that supports the workflow or information sharing pertinent to the context at hand. For a friend context, that might mean facebook. For a partner context, that might mean email - or our CRM - or something else entirely - but NEVER facebook.
The context comes first, then the people.
People-centric UI might work, but only once machines are far more sensitive to context.
- mbreese 13y agoI don't think that he meant that the computer would use any way possible to contact the person, but rather that you'd be presented with the option to contact the person with any known/configured method. I'm not saying that I like that method, but I don't think that it would be an automatic thing.
- shanselman 13y agoExactly. I show this flow in the Screenshots. I see a merged view of one individual and it says "text fred" or "skype fred" or "tweet fred." Clean. Any app can enlist with their verb.
