Your vs. My Pattern - Design Pattern Library - YDN
Labeling stuff with "My" imitates the point of view of the user. It is as if the user has printed out labels and stuck them to various objects: My Lunch, My Desk, My Red Stapler. Except the user hasn't done this; you (the site) did it for them.Labeling stuff with "Your" instead reinforces the conversational dialogue. It is how another human being might address you when talking about your stuff. Even with MySpace, people say things like "I saw what you put on your MySpace."

The Turn Towards Tangibility | Patterns from IDEO
To have and to hold in an economic downturn As dollars turn scarce, people face new and increasingly difficult choices. The indulgent luxury experiences that thrive in a growing economy now seem too ephemeral. To most of us, this downturn somehow feels more serious than past recessions, and therefore demands a more serious response. Disposable and momentary are out. Buy and hold is the name of the game. Instead of the Starbucks mini-escape, we see a return to the humble coffee maker. Instead of a massage, its a good salt scrub. People desire tangibility as a way to create comfort and stability in a volatile economy, where all the news is bad news.October 22 2009
