And yes, you are addicted to diagrams. To be fair though, as far as addictions go, it is pretty harmless. Unless of course an innocent request in a restaurant along the lines of: "and what would you like, sir?" results in you producing pen and paper and exploring your motivations and options within the context of the situation in diagram form before you can offer an answer..!

With the merging and mashing-up and blurrying of so many things in the Internet today, our poor users must have contextual clues to help them stay sane and happy. Sometimes this means just a better focus on the contextual aspects of what we have always done. For example, when working with my IA team, we talk a lot more about contextual navigation than sitewide and local navigation. We always dealt with all 3, now we pay more attention to the contextual (compared to 10 years ago). I am not sure renaming RIA to CIA is the key - and I know that was not your point. I think making sure everyone on the UX team is always conscious of context as a key part of the experience, and designs appropriately, then we will be OK.

I've always thought Rich was too broad and relative a term. Contextual is far more focused and true a label for us the practitioners, but I don't know if it beats Rich for the purposes of 'selling' the concept. Great thought.

It really is one of those ideas that, once it clicks, you wonder why you didn't see it so much earlier. Hey, you’re welcome!
