CHI 2000 Short Papers and Interactive Posters Co-Chairs
PAPER NUMBER: 317
PAPER TITLE: Adobe GoLive's point & shoot: an interface technique for creating hyperlinks
PAPER AUTHORS: Mathias Muller-Prove
RATING (5-1): 1 (definitely reject)
RECOMMENDATION (P, T, E): P
First, the paper is largely an ad, which is inappropriate. Second, there is insufficient development of the rationale of why point and shoot is different from or better than drag and drop, in a meaningful way. Third, there the conflict at the end of the paper is not resolved. It is stated that point and shoot is neither obvious nor intuitive (which would lead one to predict that it is not necessarily a good idea), but the marketing "data" is also stated that "...we got a lot of positive feedback from our users. " and "It is fun to use point and shoot." Valid and reliable data are needed.
This is just a description of a not-too-original and certainly not new (available since 1996) method of specifying links.
