This is a really interesting thread—I too would like to see more work done on ambient signifiers. One thing to occurred to me in reading some of the responses is that how ambient signifiers could be used on the Web probably depends at least to some extent on how the particular Web site in question is being used. I wonder if ambient signifiers wouldn’t be more useful on internal organizational websites—where members of the organization are likely to be regular users and may have more of an opportunity to train themselves in responding to ambient cues.
