Now this sounds interesting Human information interaction. Now there's an interesting concept. As a professional information developer, I'll be it's something I should start paying attention to. Which must mean I need a copy of Peter Morville's new book: Information Interaction. Hallelujah! Ambient Findability is finally in-stock at Amazon. . . In 1995, Nahum Gershon coined the term "Human Information Interaction" (HII) to denote "how human beings interact with, relate to, and process information regardless of the medium connecting the two." Since then, the term has been widely adopted by the traditional information science and retrieval communities. . . Incidentally, I've been invited by Peter Pirolli and William Jones to participate in a proposed panel at CHI 2006 to debate whether we need a separate field of human-information interaction. Given the venue, things could get interesting! [findability.org] And that would be a very interesting panel to attend. I hope it's accepted; it would make the trip to Montreal even more worthwhile. 8:31:44 PM    Questions? Comments? Flames? []
