[ID Discuss] Interaction design == web design

[Dave Heller]

I would also add that there is also an historical difference.

HF/HCI are engineering based
IxD is design based

basically this means that ixd considers the visceral & the aesthetic 
while hci is focused on the mechanical & the cognitive.

As molly said these are connected. I would add that each needs to inform 
the other.
