]]> Comment on How Many Words is a Picture Worth? by bk http://interfacethis.com/2008/how-many-words-is-a-picture-worth/#comment-533 bk Mon, 25 Feb 2008 18:59:11 +0000 http://interfacethis.com/2008/how-many-words-is-a-picture-worth/#comment-533 Very thoughtful analysis. One question: does the line represent a threshold for word potential, or an average? If it's the former, then the "photomosaic" (popularized in the 90s) could be an issue. Perhaps there's another variable that could impact word potential, which I'd call "relative image complexity" (and measured by a simple algorithm, such as "Avg # of contrasting colors per 1000 sq. pixels".) That would potentially capture those images that cheat (i.e., images that are just collections of smaller images, Hieronymous Bosch paintings, etc.) Very thoughtful analysis.

Very few things annoy me as much as trying to remember the short cuts for each carrier to avoid listening to those stupid messages. And what is a callback number anyway? is that slang for "beeper"...ah, I remember those. Apple rocked it, I hope they continue to take the mobile service providers to that dark place they never wanted to go :-P man, I didn’t realize this as an iPhone owner and it makes me so happy.

Think how many more minutes people have spent on the phone to wait for Shirley to stop talking. Minutes = $$$ for cellphone carriers. One word: monetization.
