So what's the right way to pronounce this app? Camera dot? Camera period? Does that symbol have a funny name?
Mark Rein·Hagen, the designer of Storyteller, was once asked, "How do
you pronounce the dot in your name?" He replied, "It's unpronounceable,
and symbolises how meaningless are the labels that we attach to
ourselves." One can tell immediately from this comment that Mark
Rein·Hagen is a Quiche Eater. Real Men don't need the abstract concepts
introduced by Quiche-Eating games--like characterisation, immersiveness
or realism--to get their jobs done. They are perfectly happy with a
sword, a spellbook, and a beer.
But I think, maybe, just "Facebook Camera" is the name they'd choose.
Glad they changed the name, though...am assuming Apple made them change it (which makes "interpunct" kind of hilarious); was totally surprised that it made it through to begin with--an identical icon with a different background color & the same name, many users wouldn't know the difference...and "Camera Interpunct? Dot?" is way better than "Camera - I don't know what happened, but my camera is broken and it always goes to Facebook!"
