[IxDA Discuss] task hierarchy in web 2/RIA apps

[Peter Boersma]

Jay asked:

Web2.0's poster child, Flickr, uses:
- click-to-edit titles and descriptions on your own photographs
- click-to-open-a-box to a series of tags on your own photographs
- click-to-add-a-note-then-edit-the-note for notes on photographs
- click-to-open-a-dialog-box to rotate the picture

I'm not sure if there is a clear and consistent hierarchy here.
Knowing some of the people from Flickr (and their stories), they just did what seemed like a good idea at the time...
